your thoughts, please, on noggin the nog-oh and oliver postgate's autobiography

[FillyjonkthePumpkinEater]

now, I didn't have a tv growing up, so all this bagpuss/clangers business is a bit lost on me, but dp very much into them and I do like the drawings and the welsh accents.

Now

First, has anyone got firsthand experience of this nogmaia business

and second, has anyone read oliver postgate's autobiography, called, I think, "seeing things" and is it any good? Here it is on amazon seeing things

thanks

oh I do love treorchy

It always seems very pleasent

my travels often take me to ynyswen.

Thanks for the diy Ivor, Fillyjonk - I'm going to make one for DH's birthday!

have fun, will add more as I remember them

My aunty used to live in Ynyswyn

Why do you go there? (me being Nosy now!)

I borrowed his autobiography from the library years ago and found it really interesting, quite absorbing.

And I loved Noggin The Nog, it was such a dark saga though now I can't remember much about it, just images. Rather like the early Moomin series with the animation rather than cartoons (a reference just for you.)

have just made an somewhat large amazon purchase.

aaargh long story mb, we go to the coffin though...

You've not bought all those Nogs

My brother did all his underage drinking in the coffin!

I was Prince of Wales and a Red Cow girl....both in Treochy

I like Ivor the Engine .

As does DS.

And DH.

Not sure what DD thinks, but we will indoctrinate her soon I am sure .

, did the coffin used to be a pub, or was that just where kids liked to drink? I shall take that thought with me henceforth

didn't have the nerve to buy them, frank....aaargh, can't decide...have bought 2x clangers (both series) , the autobiography, bagpuss cd and my god, while I was shopping a preorder for the winter book just fell into the basket

have just noticed that the moomin cartoon strip is coming out in book form. Are they trying to bankrupt me?

and idris...well she has no chance, does she, if her mum is called idris!

It was a 'club' I think, where much undersage drinking was done. before my time, as db is much older than I am

This is true .

does idris not mean "firey one" or similar? I have always loved that name.

am rofl at mb's brother's club. was there a monthly subscription and membership cards?

I think there were membership cards, it was, IIRC, a workingmans club.

I did my underage drinking in Treorchy Rugby club.

Stopped going when I was 18....the place was just getting too young for me! I'll go mental if dd does half the things that I did as a kid!

ah, a working,ens club

yes, that figures

now it hosts twice weekly salsa dancing and hairdressing classes. how the mighty have fallen

ps i do not go there to do salsa or hairdressing
