Child Of The 1980's

Well, another year and indeed decade is nearly over, so as I take my customary Christmas break I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

It’s been a fun year for me, my first full year of being a parent, and I’m really looking forward to enjoying Christmas this year with my wife and daughter. Hopefully this year she’ll be old enough to realise that unwrapping presents is fun!

So with 2010 just around the corner, I have to ask, what will this new decade be called for short? After all, Eighties, Nineties and even Noughties are fairly obvious abbreviations, but the Tens doesn’t sound quite right, does it?

See you in the New Year with more Eighties related fun and games!

Well, I almost didn’t get this ready in time but a bit of last minute tinkering has managed to bring you the (drum roll please)…

Today is the first day of advent and if you were like me as a kid, then the month of December was made even more exciting by having the chance to open a little door on a piece of cardboard to reveal a picture of a star or some holly. Sounds lame, but it was one of the things I remember enjoying a lot as a child, so I bring you a new fangled modern approach, with a twist.

This advent calendar is different because you won’t find a candle or some mistletoe behind it’s doors, and you don’t even have to fiddle around opening the doors either. Each day a new image will be revealed of something Eighties related, which if you click on it will take you to the relevant page of this very site discussing whatever that picture might be.

Go on, give it a try, and relive your memories of opening your Advent calendar as a child.

Just a very brief post today to let everyone know who won our recent competition to win a selection of cool books and DVDs. To win you had to answer this question. What was the name of the badger in Doctor Snuggles? The answer was Dennis, and the lucky winner who should be receiving their prizes through the post soon is…

Ooh, I feel like a game show host announcing that. We had over 500 entries to this competition, so congratulations Julie, and we hope to be running another competition very soon.

It’s been a little while but I’ve finally got round to organising a little competition for you. The prize consists of two books, The Classic Childrens Television Quiz Book and Sarkylocks and the Three Bears, by Dean Wilkinson, and SuperTed and Doctor Snuggles DVD.

For a chance to win these great prizes all you need to do is answer a simple question – What was the name of the badger friend of Doctor Snuggles? The answer can be found fairly easily on this site (there’s a link not a million miles away that will get you the answer), and if you click to enter the competition you’ll even find a set of multiple choice answers to make it even easier.

The competition is open until the end of October, so click here to enter or on the big icon in the sidebar! Best of luck!

Just wanted to let all our regular readers know that from this week I am going to be reducing my writing on this site to just three days a week, plus the Saturday Survey.

I’ve decided to do this as I have a few ideas that I would like to implement for this site which I don’t currently have the time to look into, so my hope is that by sacrificing a couple of entries a week I can address these ideas a bit sooner and improve this site even more.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to ask you all if there is anything you feel is missing from this site, whether it be a write up of a particular toy or tv show, or something much bigger. I’m really interested to know what you’d like to see here in the future.
