When I was a spotty teenager and prone to such stupidity I once touched The Haywain at the National Gallery.

Slightly off topic, but in a similar vein.
A few years ago my son and me were on a sponsored cycle ride around Normandy, on the last day the group decided to visit the Bayeux Tapestry, so off we rode.
We had teamed up with a very likeable and amusing character from Swansea.
Once inside the darkened room his comments about how small and amateurish the Tapestry was stopped when he noticed the no flash photography signs everywhere.
Out comes his camera, just to wind up the security guards, setting the flash off every 30 seconds (not at the Tapestry).
Before we were "asked to leave" it was like scenes from a Charlie Chaplin film.
Each time the guard sat down, just out of view, the flash would fire and a little unfit fat French man would come running around the corner shouting things in French combined with lots of arm waving.
This went on for about 5 minutes with the guard getting louder and more red in the face, our friend just winding him up even more in Franglais with a Swansea accent.
Childish maybe, but I wish I'd been able to film it.

I poked my finger in the Liberty Bell's crack
The security guard told me off.

Last time I used one of his bog rolls I got a splinter in my bum.It did surprise me that as an agency driver I was being entrusted with that job!
I'm sure your extra soft bog roll is of more use to the majority of people than my A380. I would rather not fly in one of them; they're just TOO big.

Was that Bryn Celyn in norh Wales or his house Hilbre, in Little Aston Park?
That would be my Uncle Bob (Hankin). He and my dad invented Swish in the 50's. I've got the patent forms and drawings here somewhere. My dad had a decent job so sold his half of Swish to Uncle Bob, who became very wealthy, very quickly. One of my Saturday jobs was to wash his Rolls Royce!

Which one are you ?My dad used to be the production manager at Palitoy and was part of the team that bought the UK rights to GI Joe and called it Action Man here.
I was also on the box cover of a toy that was a total failure ...
Please dont tell me the one in the orange shirt.
In the green shirt and in control of the speed ... The other 2 are my elder sister and younger brother. My sister is now very slim and I am very chubby.
Clever photograph though.......how did they get you to look so excited ?
Some interesting tales and momentous happenings!
Mine are nowhere near as flash, but I hate to be left out.
Mr6 was responsible for a great deal of the lead flashing on rooftops around Manchester city centre. I can point them out from the train, but I have no idea what buildings are under the roofs.
The placenta from my third birth was used in some very important research. The assured me it was important, I got confused by the long words in the report and took their word for it.
I was involved in the original launch of www.netmums.com and was the first editor for the northcumbria regional section.

It was too long ago to remember details. I think one of us was coming down with the flu on the day though, we just wanted to get it over and done with rather than being in a studio pretending to enjoy a game that got boring very quickly.
As for the composition, this game was also a UK version of an american one and this picture is a close mirror to the original.
Good news... there are some up for sale on ebay.com
Bad news....none of them have any bids
