An outbreak of Covid-19 has occurred for the Playmobil people in our house...

[SoMuchToBits]

… and so over the next few days I'll be bringing you some scenes of a Playmobil Pandemic.

People are allowed out for exercise, but must practise social distancing. Janice and Preston are both out for a run but are making sure they don't get too close.

Any chance there is a 99yo playmobil doing laps in his garden! Such a lovely story...

Myfriend I store all the Playmo in plastic boxes in my summer house. I remember some names, but for the rest I have lists!

bettybattenburg it's a good thing I wasn't drinking my tea when I read your post about the vase of blue wine, it made me laugh!

Bits this honestly gives my day a lift and a smile, and for that, THANK YOU!
(my fave, tho, are still the Mini Mafiosi in the park.)
Bloody love those Bad Boys with their white suits and dark,dark shades

Brilliant! I knew they'd all be our clapping, love the maracana!

Another triumph from SoMuchToBits

You absolute ⭐️!

Is there a Playmo Matt Hancock? Or Prof Chris Whitty?
Will there be a briefing/online press conference/COBRA meeting?
Is there a Laura Kuenssberg?

Wait and see...

I really enjoy everyone's comments and questions too, it brightens my day up!

Please, please tell me there won't be a Dominic Raab licking his fingers

...unless he gets pelted with loo rolls, obvs

Can we please not politicise this thread too much...it’s not going to be light relief if we have to actually be reminded of the utter shit show of politics in the U.K.

Playmo world is its own place, with its own characters, and it doesn’t need infecting with real life nonsense.

(Apologies @SoMuchToBits if I’m stepping on your toes here.)

Fair point Nink. They do still need a press briefing though, otherwise they won't know when to stop social distancing and the goons in the park won't know when to stop rebelling!

Nothing personal, of course @pussycatinboots, it’s just this thread is only of the only places I have to get away from all of that. I want to feel happy and fuzzy and merry, not grumpy/frustrated/irate.

I’m going to think about blue wine now. 🍷

Oh of course, it needs all the things that a real world needs (it’s real after all)!

bettybattenburg it's a good thing I wasn't drinking my tea when I read your post about the vase of blue wine, it made me laugh!

Perhaps at 7pm we should all have a vase of blue wine and shout a loud cheers to you. Shall we clap as well?

Clapping while holding a vase of blue wine might get a bit messy!

Ah, yes, I hadn't thought of that. Obviously we will just have to drink the wine - a vase for ourselves and a vase for you.

Ours are all over the house at the moment as the kids have discovered stop motion so are recording increasingly elaborate dance routines with the small plastic children that infest my entire life.

OP claims it's all childhood Playmo far too much though - I know that school and that was a very very recent introduction (we came back from a holiday to Germany with it in our suitcase and all our washing in our hand luggage as DD2 is blooming obsessed with the stuff)

A loo roll pelting paints an excellent picture, tbf. 🧻 🧻 🧻

There's a playmobil motor home with all the trimmings in the loft somewhere. I'm inspired to go and find it.
It'll be right out of petrol, fortunately.

OP doesn’t say it’s all childhood playmobil.

She said it started years ago and continued throughout the growing up years and she has said on this thread that she still adds to her collection. So I don’t really know what your issue is.

@Kuponut I think you might need to relax with a glass of - sorry it's not blue

Well if anyone else was of drinking age in the 90s, you may well remember the fucking horrific delightful^^ blue wine drink called MD 2020. Ah yes, a blue raspberry WINE.

Just a refresher in case anyone has blocked it out of their mind until now

(I seriously hope the poor Playmo People aren't drinking that, as the thought of them recreating some of the shit I got up to, is disturbing. And would ruin the lovely thread )

The school gym was one of ds's sets. It's this set playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4325&pics=on and was first introduced in 2009 in Germany, think we got it in 2010 or 2011.
