Journey into space - Series 2, Episode 14. It's very exciting. They've landed on Mars but - lo and behold - it isn't uninhabited. And the aliens (or are they human?) are using hypnotism to take over the crew...

Bit like the Management Board at ROS then?

I might be missing something obvious but can someone tell me how people can be recognised and approached based on what they have written. Or are the wee cartoony pictures pretty fair representations? Is there someone perpetually doing that irritating dance with his/her friends. Come to think of it I'm sure I saw that cat with an orange on its head buying fish the other day.

One very jealous Jay! I a.) used to love that series b.) used to have the tapes c.) lost my tapes in the Millennium Floods (no, not in Portobello, before someone points out that there weren't any floods in Portobello in 2000!) I am surprised you manage to catch the bus, if that's what you listen to!

It's quite easy when you've actually known the person for a long time - a bit harder (or impossible) if you've never spoken to them in your life!

Take Porty for instance (please!) I worked him out quite quickly (not sure if he's worked me out yet though

). I was brought up here and went to school here and still live here (saddo) so maybe that's an advantage!

But then Porty's notoriety goes before him - I know who he is and yet i've never met him!
I think marya's right (but I only think that because she knew who i was when i didn't know who anyone was!) - we can give a lot away.

could someone tell me what being "bagged" means, is it just someone spotting you, someone saying hello to you or what???? A definition for "spladooshed" would be helpful too. thanks

I seem to recall that the concept of Portyperson bagging was the work of Dadaist and that the term 'spladooshing' was coined by Porty, so I think it is down to them to explain the finer points.

Actually, Porty person bagging came from Gedge in the first place, I think.

the spooky thing I find about ecm's avatar is that they're always dancing in perfect time to whatever music we've got on!?!?!?

Does this happen with anyone else???

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 04 Sep 2004, 16:56

I love that avatar. Not tried it to music yet but the Grandtand theme tune will be on in a minute. Lets see.

Sorry, I'll get me coat.

You won't need one today. Its lovely out there. You'll have had your tea.

ecm · Post by **ecm** » 04 Sep 2004, 17:11

I had my lunch certainly.

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 04 Sep 2004, 17:14

So you keep saying. What was it you had again?

Not lonely. Solitary. Sounds much more romantic. One man and his dog etc..

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 07 Sep 2004, 17:05

Where d'you want us to take him, and what do you want us to do to him when we get him there? And is it safe? That dog looks kinda big to me.

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 08 Sep 2004, 22:01

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 13 Sep 2004, 16:35

I met Froglette in Scotmid today and very charming she is too. We talked a little forum and a little home improvements. Neither of us got our bags packed tho.

I could have bagged you today Bellybabe! I was among that motley crew of 90 third years counting the buses on the High Street

Thought it would be a bit unprofessional of me to jump up and down shouting Spladoosh, spladoosh and I might have frightened the kids!

You could have bagged me also. I wasn't with BB but one of my offspring was among the 90 and they spladdoshed me.

I don't need to officially bag you Porty - you must have worked out who I am by now

Which one was yours? The wee soul, I could have commiserated with her had I known!

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 13 Sep 2004, 20:21

I don't know who you are? Honestly.

Epykat · Post by **Epykat** » 13 Sep 2004, 20:25

Well, don't get excited when you do find me out!

Hell's Cat · Post by **Hell's Cat** » 14 Sep 2004, 12:40

I can honestly say I haven't a clue who any of you are, well, I do know Bob

I'm afraid I would walk passed all of you and not realise I could be Porty bagging

A rather drastic measure to avoid being bagged!
Seriously did you really have laser treatment? My other half mutters about it at times but we've heard that there can be some downsides to the op. such as seeing a halo effect round lights at night. What's been your experience?

Aha! now that would be telling!

I'm out again tomorrow so I might wear a carnation to make it easier for you!

Epykat · Post by **Epykat** » 14 Sep 2004, 20:33

Och no! Don't want to make it TOO easy for him! I can't believe he's not sussed me by now anyway

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 14 Sep 2004, 20:36

I know I will kick myself when I find out but I will have to wait and see.

Im still none the wiser. It must be so obvious I cannot see it.
