James May: My Sister's Top Toys

[Steve Levin]

I totally need a Major Morgan to give to my friend's kids just to annoy him to no end. Sadly, there on none on ebay.

It was very enjoyable.......I had a Spirograph in the 70's.

And I'll be damned if I could ever do more than make a few circles with it, either. That long oval-shaped one where you had to run the gear around the OUTSIDE of it? HAH..forget it!

Did they do a "James May's Favorite Toys" show? I'd love to see him toddle on about Action Man and Corgi's for an hour

^ yes they did - do a bit of research and you should be able to get a copy - I think one of the FTPs has it.

EDIT/ It looks like 95s FTP has it.

I quite enjoyed that. I liked 'James May's Top Toys' a little better as it covered more toys. Way cooler ones too, but I suspect it's because girls get saddled with lame toys compared to boys. However, the extra experiments in 'James May: My Sisters' Top Toys' more than made up for it. The Major Morgan was a classic.

And for what it's worth, Mrs Tone had a Family Tree House when she was little. Those were so 70s weren't they?

I had one in the 80's... I never found it that bad (you're supposed to pin the big wheel in place!)

it's pretty bad when a whole group of (presumably) straight men on these forums are noticing he wears the same sweater, but yeah i recognize it too, it shows how often he's wearing that damn sweater/jumper.

It's not that hard to remember them though as they're soo bright and gastly. Maybe the other 2 do it as well, but with more normal jumpers.

p.s. yes i'm straight, and in no way a member of the James May weirdo forum.

I quite like his Christmas jumper haha

Sorry to gatecrash, I usually only lurk but I can't see this posted in the thread anywhere....Jame's programme got 3.5million viewers, 15% of the share (I think), sorry, stealing work internet after 12hr shift lol

Hello, would any of you happen to know of a torrent for the Jeremy Clarkson: Have I Got Old News For You show that aired that night? I found one on MiniNova, but it was private, and I couldn't access it. Any help would be appreciated.

Did anybody see this show? How was it?

Thanks,

~Dave

Wow, a one-and-a-half-year bump! LindenChase, that might be a forum record!

 

[Adunaphel]

a) That is not a record BY FAR.
b) That is actually useful information, so this bump is justified.

STFU.

I've bumped a thread which had been dormant for three years (with relevant information).
