Title: Toy trike. Post by: Manky Monkey on February 22, 2006, 04:37:01 PM Spotted this in a toy shop in Bath the other day. Pictures are a bit fuzzy cos they were taken on Rainbow's camera phone, but it was a lovely little fire engine red retro tin plate thing. Gorgeous Dan Dare 50s sci fi styling. Even had working lights. Hmm, wonder how that'd look with a Reliant engine in it? 200 quid though. More than I've ever paid for a Reliant. It was too pretty for kids to play with. I want one.

Title: Re: Toy trike. Post by: Manky Monkey on February 22, 2006, 04:46:39 PM 200 quid & a 5 minute op' means that ain't never gonna happen -I hope. Toys, like youth, are wasted on the young.

Title: Re: Toy trike. Post by: Borgy on February 22, 2006, 07:23:46 PM I'd have it on a shelf in my living room me
Title: Re: Toy trike. Post by: Manky Monkey on February 22, 2006, 07:26:57 PM You'd need a big shelf. Another new avatar. Who is that bloke in the photo?
Title: Re: Toy trike. Post by: Borgy on February 22, 2006, 09:05:24 PM some bloke with a cool tattoo that I wish I had room for :)

Post by: wizzkitt on February 22, 2006, 09:11:41 PM some bloke with a cool tattoo that I wish I had room for :) Desperately resisting the temptation to make some smutty comment... ;D Carry On Wizzkitt Title: Re: Toy trike. Post by: Manky Monkey on February 22, 2006, 09:23:49 PM Oooh, Matron! Damn avatar keeps flicking past too quick -I can't make out what it is.
Title: Re: Toy trike. Post by: Borgy on February 22, 2006, 09:27:02 PM here it is
Title: Re: Toy trike. Post by: Manky Monkey on February 22, 2006, 09:29:30 PM Now that is seriously weird!
Title: Re: Toy trike. Post by: wizzkitt on February 22, 2006, 09:35:40 PM But very clever.
Title: Re: Toy trike. Post by: Manky Monkey on February 22, 2006, 09:39:42 PM Would've been more effective without other tattoos around it. Wonder how long it'd be before the joke wore a little thin. That's what's stopped me from ever getting needled -the thought that you're stuck with it forever, plus you might find someone else with an identical indellible image, or your passion for Barry Manilow's face across your back may fade, unlike his inky features, in years to come -& the pain of course.

Post by: Manky Monkey on February 22, 2006, 10:00:03 PM ;D Rainbow's 18 & 14 year olds constantly ring her when she's out to ask what time she'll be home & worry if she's out late.
Title: Re: Toy trike. Post by: wizzkitt on February 22, 2006, 10:01:24 PM Not surprising if she's out with you. ;)
