RIDICULOUS REPOST: TWO 'KIDS' ARE BETTER THAN ONE...

You're looking at a screen-grab from a video I made in 1991 of a house I once lived in nearly 20 years before.  Helping me that day was my identical twin brother, GEORGE, who, thanks to my mum, dressed exactly the same as me from a young age.  "You're identical twins - so you should dress identical!" she'd say, with less than perfect grammar.  (That's me at the front, incidentally.)

It came in handy whenever we got up to individual mischief as teenagers, because the police could never charge either of us as they simply didn't know which one was the culprit.  Ah, what fun!  I remember once challenging six guys to a fight - then running 'round the corner of the lockups (where George was waiting) when three of them chased me.  Me and my brother then set about them, and they staggered back to their pals, saying "It's an ambush - there's two of them!" 

Of course, the above is all a total figment of my imagination (apart from making a video of my old house), invented purely for the purpose of seeing how much nonsense I can write and hopefully provide a chuckle for you in the process.  Next time, I'll relate how I single-handedly saved the world from the threat of destruction by a megalomaniac bent on global domination - and let my best pal JAMES BOND take all the credit.

Hey!  Where'd everybody go?

BABE Of The DAY - SAMANTHA FOX...

That's the problem with wearing contact lenses

I'm told; there's always one popping out onto the floor,

meaning you have to scrabble about in a half-blind state,

feeling for it on the carpet.  That's what SAMANTHA

FOX is doing.  Should I just 'fess up and tell her I'm

 standing on it?  (Nah, I'm enjoying the view.)

WAYFINDERS MOONSHOT SHOES...

Okay, hands up if you ever had a pair of WAYFINDERS MOONSHOT shoes back in the late '60s or early '70s.  I did, and it's amazing just how excited one can get over seeing one's footprints in the mud.  If anything, kids walked in mud more often, just to see the imprint of their shoes in it.  The good things about these shoes (apart from the undersides) were the free LETRASET transfers and the lunar space capsule with a magnet on the back, enabling you to make it glide above the moon's surface on a backdrop printed inside the box.  I wish they still made these shoes today, 'cos I for one would definitely buy a pair.

Do you remember these shoes, readers?  If so, reminisce away to your hearts' content in our scintillating comments section.
