If anyone remembers the singing postman and "'ave you got a light boy?" then I feel like repurposing it to say "Have you got *any* light boy?" It's like living in eternal twilight here of late.

@emsquared this sounds like something murky from the 70s thats best left in the shadows.

@Black_Flag Don't think it was even 70s. Only know about it as we could get Anglia TV when young & my parents knew it.Update: Novelty mid 60s hit in an East Anglia accent. Oh yes quality stuff.

@Black_Flag what happens in the 70s stays in the 70s nonetheless. Run for the shadows.

@emsquared This escaped me. And I am now going after it. Some things are better left in ignorance.

@Black_Flag They are. Once heard, forever regretted.

@emsquared Much like that Keith Harris and Orville song: "I wish I could fly right up to the sky but I can;t. You can. I can't."

@Black_Flag There's a place in hell for many novelty records especially that one.

@emsquared I mean Orville wasn;t even his best act. Cuddles was much better. (I hate that duck.)

@John_Loader it's been constant here re fireworks. I don't know how people afford them let alone the rest of the year in daylight to celebrate a game where some men kick a ball for a bit.

@Black_Flag Very clever really. Cuddles spoke for must of us.

@Black_Flag I admit to being beguiled by Roland Rat. I even like Rat Rap as a single. I was probably off my head on Sunny D tho.

@emsquared Ag Sunny Delight. I tasted some once. Made from pure sugar. One sip gave you life threatening diabetes.
But the Rat (of whom I could do a great impression) couldn;t compete with Nookie Bear. I mean, come on, the very name is hilarious. Nookie. Nookie Bear!

@Black_Flag Lol. There was something menacingly adult about Nookie bear (the name aside). I guess ventriloquism is very out of fashion now. I can only really think of Nina Conte out there doing that these days.

@emsquared Rod Hull was the smart one (well, until he tried to fix his aerial anyway). Emu didn;t talk.My brother got an emu for Christmas one year. It was then I realised Emu wasn;t real.

@Black_Flag Let alone the cocktail of E-numbers in Sunny D. Addictive stuff. That we gave it to children is beyond horrifying.

@Black_Flag Aaaw. Was taken to see Rod Hull and Emu live at a "cabaret venue" circa early 70s. It was a daft act really and yes, clever to have a mute bird (though Sooty probably was the pioneer for that, "what's that Sooty? You don't accept the current patrichal hegemony within society?").
Yeah sad way to go for Rod. Jesus what passed for entertainment. -

@emsquared My brother had a Sooty and Sweep as well. I never thought they were real. I wish they had done Hartley Hares. I would have wanted one. If only as a premonition of what I would become.
