TALK ABOUT DELUDED...

Is this guy seriously deluded or what?  Giving me a dose of my own medicine?  What a loser!  It gives me immense satisfaction to know that, without even trying, I can get under the skin of some frustrated inadequate to such an extent that he feels compelled to vent his frustration in such an impotent way.  He's obsessed with me to such a degree that he's glued to my blog every day, according every post a level of attention that surely marks him out as someone with too much time on his hands.  Obviously doesn't have a girlfriend or wife (unless she's inflatable) because he's clearly got no balls - as shown by the fact he hides his real identity behind mine.  Or perhaps he wants to be me, hence him using my name and face in the performance of his 'tribute act'?

So let's look at the 'truth', shall we?  I don't impersonate people, I don't set up fake accounts with the intention of maliciously maligning anyone, I don't spread lies about folk, and I'm not and never have been a 'troll'.  Yet this sad d*ck does all of that and believes he's got the moral highground?  If anyone's laughing, it's me - my very existence is the bane of his life and he's so tormented he feels compelled to express his rage, even if it's only in this childish, pathetic and laughable way.  (He's clearly of low intellect.)  I've become his life's focus and he's on a mission to make people hate me.  As if anyone gives a sh*t!  I never knew I was so important.  Hey, I've got my very own 'mini-me', an obsessed stalker - "Made it, Ma!  Top of the world!"

Feel free to join me in laughing at the sad bell-end.

Just seen his latest tweets - says I 'angrily' say I'm not a 'troll'.  I'm not dealing with 'Brain of Britain' here, am I?  I laughingly said I'm not a troll - 'cos I'm not the one impersonating somebody and telling lies about them, am I?  What a tit!  Thanks for all the extra hits, dobber!

His latest tweet is extremely revealing.  Says he's never used his real name online or the same alias twice.  If it's a lie, he's a liar, and if it's the truth, he's admitted to being a 'troll'!  Wotta dobber!  Sounds like someone desperately trying to cover his tracks.  The boy's a joke. 

ANDY PANDY'S ANNUAL...

ANDY PANDY copyright relevant owner.  Art by PHIL GASCOINE

Hard though it may be to believe, ANDY PANDY and his puppet pals first appeared on TV in June or July of 1950, in the FOR The CHILDREN slot.  Astonishingly, the episodes were first broadcast live, until it was realized that filming them meant they could be conveniently repeated.  26 episodes were recorded in 1952 and repeated continuously up until 1970, whereupon 13 new episodes were filmed.

In 1953, the WATCH With MOTHER name was adopted and Andy alternated with The FLOWER POT MEN ('52) and RAG, TAG And BOBTAIL ('53).  PICTURE BOOK and The WOODENTOPS (both 1955) were later added and the 15 minute, 1.30 p.m. slot expanded from three to five times a week, with other programmes added to the mix over the years.  (The Watch With Mother name was finally dropped in 1975 on the grounds that it sounded dated.)

Surprised as I was to learn that new Andy shows were made in 1970, I was even more amazed to discover that Annuals (published by PURNELL) were issued every year from at least the '60s right into the early '80s.  Who knew Andy was so popular with the Annual-buying public?  Anyway, I only own one, dated internally from 1974, so here's two-pages to show you what you've been missing.  (He also had a strip in the weekly ROBIN nursery comic.)

Anyone got a full set?  (Anyone brave enough to admit to it?)

And here's an extra bonus - the opening and closing credits.
