Barnie-talking dinasaur
survivour · 18/02/2004 16:01
A friend has asked me if I can put this on here for you out there....She is after the old Barnie, the large purple soft toy, and she said it talks, and not the new one, she wants the old type. I've not seen these so I'm useless, anyone out there who can help? Please?????

Reading this is the best laugh ive had today as when my dd wakes up in the morning the first words she speaks are where barney,where pooh bear, where barney, where pooh bear.......

hi survivor,i found barney,as soon as i got him out the room went ice cold and he started swearing in latin
DD caught me with it and she now wants it,did your friend find one?
survivour · 27/02/2004 14:43
Hi whymummy! no she has not got hold of one, but I'm tempted to bring her round so she can see this thread, just to see her reaction. ooooo and i did not know he knew latin too!!!!!

Slight tangent here
As an antidote to Barney and the wholesomeness of all kids character tv, try the film Death to Smoochie with Edward Norton and Robin Williams, directed by Danny DeVIto.
Oh how we laughed!
Check it out
whymummy · 27/02/2004 16:10
yes survivor,she needs to see this thread,we haven't changed the batteries for 2 years and the b**y thing's still talking
suzy i'll watch that film,sounds good
kid · 28/02/2004 17:23
We have one too, got it for DD when she was quite young. The batteries haven't ever been changed (approx 3 years) and yes it still tooks in that annoying voice. When DD saw Barney on tele, he actually ran out of the room crying!!!

I didn't mind him too much when ds watched him but now the tapes are being replayed for dd who seems to love him Actually it is the yellow dinosaur that dh and I can't stand.
Anyway survivour have you tried eBay?

I just sold one at the NCT sale - pity the poor family that bagged it.....
If your friend gets one, she's welcome to the extras we have which missed the sale - software, PC adaptor and TV adaptor - some of which have just gone into a charity bag and the rest are somewhere in the house....
hercules · 29/02/2004 18:06
I hate you
You hate me
Lets get together and kill Barney
With a (cant remember) and a bullet to his head
Sorry kids but Barneys dead.
Sing this to the I love you, you love me song.
