Box set of Spongebob DVDs,
Mulan, Pocahontas and 101 Dalmatians DVDs. A box of 5 Spongebob books, MASSIVE Spongebob soft toy and a hardback collector's edition of The Wind in the Willows for when she's older. I always like to get her a 'long term' gift as well as the more transient stuff she'll enjoy now.

If he's a real Hawking-style cyborg you could call him an Archdeacon.

You forgot Chorlton and teh wheelies, and the Flumps.
And Bagpuss. And The Book Tower.

The Flumps were northern.
Not the done thing at all.

Bagpuss was STUPID FRESH though, you are right. Gabriel the toad with his dark folk songs and Prof Yaffle were best. The mice were wankers.

Wasn't the last long-term gift the castle/dolls' house?
Sounds like she'll have a bumper fun time with Daddy. I do feel, though, that you'll probably have a bigger GLESS than her.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 14 Jul 2011, 20:38, Reply)

The castle was a 'for a few years, hopefully' gift.
I've got her de luxe editions of Beatrix Potter and AA Milne in the past which I'm hoping she'll keep all her life and maybe pass them on if she has children of her own.

I have some wonderful old books passed down from my parents that I treasure - hopefully everything won't be so space-age when she's older that she thinks they're shit and bins them.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 14 Jul 2011, 20:52, Reply)

When I was 12, I got into the Sweet Valley High books
Over the next however many years, I collected the whole series - close to 100 books. I still have them in a box, as I can't bear to give them away. However, I plan never to have children, and I don't think DJ and Roota are ever going to have them either.

Which makes the whole point of handing something down a little bit stupid, really.

I've got my father's Compleat Molesworth,
a load of beautiful 1930s folk tale anthologies, some stuff my grandfather edited like The Oxford Book of Ballads, and a few other lovely tomes. I'm most fortunate.

Sorely lacking in the Sweet Valley High department, though.

I'm holding out for all my Dad's old 45s.
He used to have loads - he rana mobile disco in teh 70s. I used to help him at soundchecks.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 14 Jul 2011, 21:05, Reply)

To my shame I purloined and sold a lot of my father's 45s in the 80s.
It backfired on me when he emigrated as he gave me his entire (rather depleted) collection. I still got some superb 50s and 60s 45s, including some valuable Elvis records. I'd love a rifle through your old boy's collection - I bet there's some gold in there.

there's probably a load of chart shit too
but he had some good albums. Fat Mattress is the most unusual one I remember.

All I'll get from my old fella
Is lots of brass band albums. And possibly three cornets.

Noel Redding's band. He played bass for Jimi Hendrix.
Hendrix hired him because he liked his hair - Redding thought he was auditioning for guitarist in The Animals and had never picked up a bass before in his life.

( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 14 Jul 2011, 21:22, Reply)

Lemmy's tale is a similar one.
He'd been a guitarist for some years (he's on the psych oddity 'Elevator' LP by Sam Gopal's Dream, who had no proper drummer) and asked if Hawkwind wanted a guitarist. No, but how about bass? I'll give it a go etc.

Seem to think that Jean-Jaques Burnell also followed that route
He was a keyboard player by inclination but Greenwood was a better keyboard player.

My best pal Mat plays bass for Death in Vegas,
he's not a bass player either, having fronted shoegazing indie bed-wetters Revolver at the turn of the 90s. He got the job because our mate was managing them or something. It must go on a lot.

Moral: bass is easy

Blimey. I loved DiV back in the day. I got Dead Elvis back when it came out, and actually thought that The Contino Sessions was a mite overrated, except of course for Dirge which is tremendous.
