It was a tv programme when I was a kid called Pipkins. Octavia was an ostrich and Hartley was a hare. Sorry - showing my age.

Pretty sure I'm the oldest Possibly another channel

Good evening KC,

Hiya!
Laptop man, oh dear sorry you have to do that but there is a very delicate frustration vs money balance on such matters & there comes a point when spending money is the lesser evil.

One of the reasons for choosing the make of my new laptop was due to to working with a team of very knowledgeable long term users .You know, thats a very good reason ....

A bit of Jamie wont go amiss & as to Octavia ... isnt that a Jilly Cooper book ?

Cheri, yes you are showing your age, but in a *good* way - after Lula commented too, I had to google - turns out Octavia and whatnot were a children's programme in the early 70s - I was in the pub :D:D

MrsMoo2U

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: gosh the 70s? thought it was earlier. I was in a video conference last week and we were talking about pensions. I felt quite flattered because the speaker said to me Oh you wouldn't have had casual service prior to 1990 and when I said that I did from 82-84 somebody piped up that they werent born then (or for another 6 years) I was knocked sideways. I remember being the youngest on the section. I only bent down to tie my shoelace at 23 and when I stood up I was 46 - Where did all those years go?

Karmacat

I so relate to that! I don't feel any different - except maybe more balanced. I was told I looked exactly the same just a couple of years ago, by somebody who hadn't seen me since my 20s - I *know* thats a lie, but its a gracious one I have it on good authority that to somebody who's *actually* in their 20s, I look my age :eek:

My niece still thinks I'm cool tho

Seems ridiculous, it really does. You're 46 now? So early 70s is your primary school years. Its definitely the beginning of my pub years - in the early/mid70s, I was a student, so of course I knew a lot of children's tv programmes very well :D:D

taxi73

I can't recall that programme and I'm 46..lol...remember Andy Pandy.moomins,etc

Karmacat

Andy Pandy was still going for you, Taxi? I didn't realise it had gone on that long. I had Andy Pandy, the Woodentops, and my mum says I liked Muffin the Mule - which wasn't rude in those days

Relaxing after high school was the magic roundabout and Noggin the Nog ....

taxi73

I remember all those except Noggin the nog..can't remember much tv when I was a child..perhaps I Didn't watch much as I was playing out.

Karmacat

Me too, as a littley, I was out on my bike - but by the time I was 15, 15 minutes of tv at 5pm or so was bliss, before revision nights ....

taxi73

By the time I was 15 I was a pure rebel but won't go into it on here...lol
