Girls were finally allowed to wear grey cords at my school in winter when I was 15. I have never worn a skirt in winter since.

McGyver's (sp! sorry) on Sky 1. Well, a remake. It's bonkers. (Not that I've seen it). Also loved the Dukes (Bo and Luke and getting in and out of cars without opening doors!), and KIT and quite liked Chips. I have a feeling I was sent to bed for Hart to Hart. I def know it, but haven't seen very many.

Can't remember the name, but he was the unknown stuntman (that's a quote from the theme tune). The girl was called Jodie. There was some brainless brawny hunk. Can't remember his name. They drove around in a red vehicle????

Hi perfectly

Sorry another busy day, haven’t posted much! and I’ve managed to crack my phone screen, so I’m reading between the lines! Pardon the pun!

A team, what you talking about fool! Or was the little dude from Different Strokes?!

Claw001 · 23/08/2018 23:54

OMG I’ve just remembered ‘Monkey’ anyone remember this? I loved it, a little alternative admittedly for a kid!

Monkey, Piggy, the whistle and carpets, bald princess! Dare I say ring tightening around his head. I will stop now, for fear of ‘nah on your own’!

KeepServingTheDrinks · 24/08/2018 00:06

Sorry Claw....

donniemurdo · 24/08/2018 06:35

Didn't Monkey eat all the peaches or something?

I think heroes programme might have been 'Cover up'? which has 'Holding out for a hero' as the title song

Unknown stuntman was 'The Fall Guy' and was also total magic and I'm sure was on tv a few years ago again as I have seen it more recently (however I am of the age when I think things happened a year or so ago and DH will remind me in a slightly patronising and concerned way that it was actually 10 years ago)

We need wrestling names!!! Is there a wrestling names generator somewhere?

Apologies for missing Ikiboo
I was keeping it simple Torn . Yours is a bit of a mouthful ! Grin

KeepServingTheDrinks · 24/08/2018 10:20

Shampaincharly what lovely, lovely names, and what a great idea. Flowers Flowers Flowers

I really like my current name on here, for lots of silly reasons. And I've had it quite a while now (a good year or so), but one of the threads I'm on has made the press and I'm on the thread a lot, so I was wondering about a NC in any case.

I think anyone who's planning on coming on Saturday out to NC to our new wrestling personas (personi ?). Our new names will go great with our leotards and our grappling hooks.
I'm also thinking we all need handbags, so we can hit anyone we don't like over the head with them

Claw001 · 24/08/2018 10:36

Donnie Aka Tartan terror i was a kid, i never really understood the plot of Monkey! I remember they were trying to get the bald princess somewhere. Just googled you are right, there was a big back story involving peaches, I missed that!

Claw001 · 24/08/2018 10:40

Shamp Grin ripper rose. I love it!

Have you been watching me in the dressing rooms again?

TornFromTheInside · 24/08/2018 11:00

I should change it to the Pink Prancer!

TattyFrench · 24/08/2018 11:25

Oh, I like my new wrestling name, thank you Shampaincharly. Yes, Keep (or MamaLurve) handbags are a great idea - I've got some lovely vintage ones I can share.

The commentator might have a bit of a problem with yours Torn Smile. I fell for the 'can you give a shout for Mike Hunt', when I worked in a pub once Blush

MamaLurve · 24/08/2018 11:42

What do you all think?

Yes, that IS a neon pink leotard I'm wearing. I think the accessorising fluorescent yellow wrist, ankle and head bands are a nice touch, do you agree? Is the fluorescent yellow eye patch too much?
What are the rest of you doing with your hair?

And I know it's quite hard to see in the photo, but are the novelty tiger feet slippers menacing enough? I don't really have a proper wrestling boots. Tsk... I didn't give enough thought to the details.

Tatty I hope you can see the space i've cleared next to me. Would you say that's grappling hook-sized?

MamaLurve · 24/08/2018 11:44

ANY not a

And yes please Tatty aka Tatty Rocks, I'll take a handbag. Do you have neon pink to match my leotard? It's actually a shade lighter than the it looks in the picture

TornFromTheInside · 24/08/2018 11:55

Does my bum look big in this?

Shampaincharly · 24/08/2018 12:04

Well , we know where the peaches are Torn
Peaches symbolise long life .

Shampaincharly · 24/08/2018 12:06

I think Monkey pinched the peaches. I have read the book , and remember the series but cannot remember the story.

Claw001 · 24/08/2018 12:23

The Spitting Images song could be our wrestling entry music?

The stick a deckchair up your nose, pretend your name is Keith one!

MamaLurve · 24/08/2018 13:56

I'm entering (pnerr) to nothing less than the Rocky soundtrack

TattyFrench · 24/08/2018 15:18

It looks good to me Torn Grin
Can I have 'Do You Wanna Be a Boxer?' as my entry music? I know it's the wrong sport but, technically MamaLurve so's the Rocky theme tune.

What was the programme with what's his name in the 80's - he was in Tooting Front? 'So You Wanna Be a Boxer' was the theme tune? I loved it.

iklboo · 24/08/2018 15:22

Can I enter to 'Mama Says Knock You Out'? Grin
