    However, it's not going to be much of a thread if I suggest we all put forward our favourite producer of short cartoons, so instead we'll go for our favourite cartoon characters.

    It's a tough choice, actually. But, until I change my mind, I'll nominate this one ...




    A metal image of Daffy hangs from my keyring, in just this pose. I really ought to be embarrassed about that, I suppose.
    Great idea, Mark. I learned my first concepts of the dating world from Popeye, Olive and Brutis...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CXcm...eature=related

    What a fantastic opportunity to annoy the family - especially if it's an inadequate version- which it will be.

    They were a Fred Quimby I think.
    Yeah, Daffy was the greatest; particularly, when he was put with Bugs. I don't remember much with Tom and Jerry; they were a bit after my cartoon days.

    I always tell people I brought myself up, which isn't far from the truth.

    Yes, great win! Even better to see England actually holding form.
    Nothing like bad role models to haunt our dreams for the rest of our lives, make us change all of our parenting concepts only to later make the same mistakes our parents did.

    That line, "Help! Help! I'm being repressed", became our school day mantra in the 5th form.

    Also when asked any question at all by the repressive regime we would answer with the same question eg, "Is that the African value of PI or the European one? We were dithspicable, as Daffy might've said.

    Loved the Three Stoogies vid which I have never seen before and the photo of your Grandad's rig outfit, he looks a man of character. Given the heatwave you are experiencing I thought you and Soundo might appreciate this from the Captain and given Mark's Zappa poster he might enjoy this as well:

    That's a great picture Gilliatt.

    We're rather bereft of pics in our family. There are some of when we were kids, but hardly any of the family other than my parents. I don't suppose they were'nt great photo takers.

    Sounds like me - there are few photos of me anywhere, and I'm pretty sure none at all from the ages of 12-17.

    People valued cameras in those days.

    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    Jocky, I bow in your general direction.
    That is one for the wall of shame and to think of the time and energy wasted on pondering the question of whether Lennon was a genius or who was the better poet; Morrison or Dylan? We know who the genius is!

    Thanks Paul and you're right Atheist, we have hoards of photographs from the family past.
    I'll see if I can get a couple more to share, perhaps my maternal grandfather. He's the one who inspired my fetish for the smell of old books ...and reading.

    Did the little broad with the glasses pull at her bloomers, or was I imagining things. I seem to recall building up alot of static when I was a young thing.

    Okay gents, speaking of Daffy, I am confused about something, Why don't Shakespearean actors spit anymore. Remember, they used to spit all the way through King Lear and Hamlet

    I'm sure there were alot of pictures taken of you, it's just that like mums eyes at the time, they were out of focus. I think my mom took alot of pictures of her thumb about that time
