Just Katie Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Definitely a slip [:$] When Twinkle and myself joined she told me she had been on ebay looking for Katie Kopy Kat which is a naff 1970's doll and also Twinkle (especially for little girls) annual. Why? Because thats the way she is. Still a little girl. When I visit her she drags me around the markets and makes me buy her pretty pink bags and purses and all that. She is a child. Anyway she named the two of us and I doubt if she would know what KKK is in her fluffy little pink world.However, it is interesting. Maybe there is a hidden meaning when the actually doll was first named or was that a slip too?And there you go I am keeping on topic for once.

Viv Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 ooh I can remember Twinkle really well, didn't she run a doll hospital in her comic ? but not Katy Kopy Kat, sorry, my brother used to have the Pippin comic when he was really small and that was good n'all.

Just Katie Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Nurse Nancy had the doll hospital in twinkle. Katie Kopy Kat was blonde and plastic (I'm brunette by the way) she had like a little desk infront of her and held a pen which was connected to your pen and she copied what you drew. It was really naff (sorry Twinks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Yes, got it now, you put your pencil in one thing and the doll had her pencil in another. Did it work though? When was that, Christmas 1973 with all the Ronco and K-Tel stuff?Just before I get told off for going off post, oh sorry , I forgot what I was going to say, going to have to look at ebay for some retro stuff now!

Gluestick Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Do they have plastic Ku Klux Klan dolls on eBay? Could be interesting![:-))]Fascinating tale, KKK. So you and Twinkle based your forum IDs on toys from long ago. And, why not?Does anyone think that in the (near[:)]) future, there will be plastic Tony Blair dolls, sold with LOOOOOOOOOOONG pins?[6]Off topic, I'm afraid, Mods. Apologies.[:$][:$] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangur Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 [quote user="Gluestick"]schools have banned Hot cross Buns[/quote] Rubbish. As with most of these "PC gone maaad" stories, they are either twisted to suit the newspaper's agenda or simply made up. When this story came out in 2003, it was made up.http://www.york.gov.uk/cgi-bin/wn_document.pl?type=3397I had another link where one of the headmasters concerned wrote how he had explained to the journalist that his theory was not true, but the journalist printed it anyway. If you delve into the majoritiy of these stories, you'll find that they are either false or so twisted as to hide the original logic. It's like the "banning Christmas" stories - councils with a high proportion of ethnic minorities (who after all contribute to the decoration costs through their council tax) sometimes celebrate winter and the multiplicity of similar festivals around the same time rather than just Christmas. Of course this sends the likes of the Daily Mail crazy and they let their imagination run riot. In any case, apparently more people go to Ikea on a Sunday in Britain than attend CoE services - I'd say you'd be hard pushed to find an English child who knew the symbolism behind a hot cross bun. The EU also has an interesting website dedicated to combatting the lies often written about it by UK newspapers. http://www.cec.org.uk/press/pw/latest.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anaova one is the exact same as the Sun one, and we all know Sun journos have very active imaginations. Perhaps it's true, but a more reliable source than the Sun would have to convince me.

Owens88 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 [quote user="Gluestick"] Anyone also hear the story (also on the BBC ergo, same logic must be true) that some schools have banned Hot cross Buns this Easter as they may offend non-Christian children?[/quote]No, but there are H&S issues with hot buns and the anger management team have been working on the cross buns. Oh dear that sounds like Jeremy Clarkson humour - I wouldn't give it too much credence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluestick Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Thanks, Pangur, much appreciated: perhaps we could ask the Mods for a "Tongue in Cheek" Smiley![:D]Well banned or not, apocraphal or not, I have already eaten five since last weekend![Www]And a dozen in the freezer for friends in France who always suffer from HCB Deprivation Syndrome at Easter! hope I don't get stopped by the PC nazis at either Ashford or Coquelle![6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Please, no more hot cross buns - we have UK tv and every time the M&S advert for HCBs comes on, I can smell them toasting .......Of all the things to miss .........Do the French have anything like tea cakes or HCBs?

Gluestick Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Ah, Mr or Madam or Miss Martian, as the case might be, or not to be: that is the question.You are still a round: or a square; or a cube; or a quadilateral equation; or a figment (which I believe is a garment made from a fig leaf).Is it possible to survive inside earth mammals? Strange but true time. Young human infants do, normally for about nine months! With elephants, a gigantic earth mammal of the genus pachyderm, their young survive for three earth years. Now, that's something to take back to Mars! Not the elephant, the information.It is said that a man called Jona, was swallowed by a whale and lived there for some time. He was eventually evicted for not paying his rent (three sardines; half a tonne of shrimps; and Mary Malone's cockle barrow, due and payable each quarter day, or to be pedantic, four times per day, or if you like, 28 times per calender week.).Eviction from whales, is carried out by vomit baliffs[Www]: accompanied by their assistant Amber Gris, a heavy.[:-))]When you have the time, have nothing else to do and your brain brain has joined young workers in Paris (A suburb of Euro Disney), then watch David Attenborough, on TV. You will learn [:(] a lot about, well, David Attenborough, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
