    Btw. up close I easily believed the extra coupla inches. I don't recall where I got my information from. Google wasn't around in the mid seventies.

    Just another instance of deception. Something else came to light just this evening: Jelly fish. They are not fish and neither are they made of jelly. I have been lied to yet again.

    ...then learning what baby oil and baby shampoo is made out of (or not made out of) is really going to tee you off!!!!!

    Personally, I've always felt there was a mix up in the packaging department when Vaseline and Vegemite were first introduced - Vaseline looks more like something made from a yeast extract, and Vegemite looks way to close to goop made from crude oil.

    Mate, I went to me of those shows too, but I thought it was at the "Tin Shed". I was disappointed twice. 1. The ninja's used a mini tramp & 2. Shintaro's real voice was squeaky and high pitched. I stuck with my Phantom ring

    About 10 years ago we went to the Dr Who museum in Llangollen in Wales. The biggest display was of all the costumes - right back to the first episodes when rubber boots, canvas overalls, gloves and plastic raincoats were considered good enough for at least 3 alien costumes on fuzzy B&W TV - now did that burst my bubble.
    Actually it was a lot of fun - got to drive around in a Dalek and make the authentic EXTERMINATE sound with the built in voice tremulator etc.

    My Mum consistently lied about the family's (particularly her relatives) medical history, mainly about various relatives suiciding while suffering from depression or dying from complications from various complaints like diabetes for 40 or so years. I only started to find out about this from my father the week he died (lung cancer) and she would barge into the room & start screaming at him to stop giving me information etc. It would have made a considerable difference to how I received medical treatment if I had known about this history & been able to do something when the first signs of problems showed up. I just hope I haven't inherited the genetic suseptability for Alzheimer's.
