So what toys did you covet as a child and/or do you still covet as an adult?

Also what games/activities did you do as a child that were exclusively female?


As for as dolls go, the first is of course Action Man.

My sadness was that I only had the one and not a squad of some sort.

I wanted to line them up, stand in front of them and utter the phrase "At ease men, smoke 'em if you got 'em"

I wish I had the courage to ask for a Barbie, as she would have been Action Man's (or Lance Dangerfield as he was known by his intimates), somewhat slutty girlfriend.


'Two Balls', the throwing/juggling games with rhymes/chants attached. Never see a BOY doing those.

My favourite rhyme was

'PK penny a packet

First you lick it

Then you crack it

Then you stick it to your jacket (and at this point the two baller would have to strike her chest with the flat of her hand)

PK penny a packet'

There was also a fad at one point for a tennis ball to be inserted into the toe end of the leg of a discarded stocking or pantyhos leg.

The girl would stand with her back to a wall swinging/bouncing the ball behind her, sometimes with chants, but not always.

The main point was the speed and skill involved. The more gifted would use two.


So ladies, what did you do?

When I first posted PGC, I promise that the tune #You can style Tressie's hair to match the lovely clothes she wears, heeer hair grooows# was running through my head.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
