    Linda - someone commented that a question mark was 'very second division' which I agreed with and Timmy Mallett just popped into my head as the perfect person to have there!

    Oh lordy, here come the boys with their talk of comics, voice overs, baddies from Transformers, which was the best Captain on Startrek, what they would have liked to do to Shee-ra when they were younger, who would win in a fight- Batman or Superman, blah, blah, blah

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I keep having a go at hubby to get some of his vast Starwars toy and memorabilia sold, most of it is boxed and from the 70's.
    He has a 'Revenge of the Jedi' poster from before they changed the title too.
    Must be worth a bloody fortune!

    Dear God! KEEP! KEEP! KEEP! Christ! I have the 3 most rare and expensive Star Wars figures, boxed and in pristine condition. If I could put them in a temperature-controlled room, guarded by lasers, I would!

    He has some things that were only available in France too!

    It's quite cute that the common action figures were separated into 2 big Quality Street tins.
    1 labelled 'baddies' and the other labelled 'goodies'

    He is loathed to get rid of them because he says "That's my whole childhood up there!" (packed in the loft)
