What a trip down memory lane this thread has been! BEA bags! Fortune tellers! Magpie!

I know a chap who really lusts after Jenny Hanley. He remembers her from his youth and reckons she's still 'horny' as he puts it.

I tried making scubidoos many years ago but never got the hang of it. As I remember, the colours were stronger back then. They were red and black or blue and black etc. these days they seem to be softer, paler colours.

Hello Maggiemay. How old are you?

maggiemay · « **Reply #32 on:** July 31, 2005, 11:03:14 pm »

Forty something. And you?

40 exactly, but look 35 on a good day. This links nicely with my post in previous thread. Interactive posting!

YAY! thanks goldie... it worked! (kind of... i'm a little hamfisted these days.) hehe - now all i gotta do is write witty things in the segments like 'you are a loser' and 'you are gay'... hehehe - bringing back all those memories. i completely forgot the construction over the last decade or so... but i can still make a mean water-bomb from paper-folding. odd.

Did she keep him amused?

Did he feel used?

I bent her over the desk and she thought of England

That's not in the song!

"I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used,

Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face"

Doesn't say a lot for your technique if she had to think of England.

Back to scoubidous, I looked at them in a shop yesterday (Somerfield of all places!) and they are indeed much girlier colours than they used to be - pink, lilac, glitter versions etc. They are also thinner and rounder - I remember them as flat and quite stiff to bend. It's no good, I'm going to have to splash out 99p and see if I can still make a keyring!
