That's no teddy bear, that's your chauffeur, Parker, who comes with "FAB 1", the custom-built Rolls of international sophisticate, Lady Penelope:-

One of those Steed and Mrs Peel drive. very very cool 2. What is the security like in your building/estate/apartment/condo/cardboard box/wherever you live? Door 3.

What was the best bargain you ever got? Montreal has plenty of great second hand clothes shops, so has to be all that I bought in them, cumulatively. Apart from that, bought both volumes of Benveniste's Problèmes de linguistique générale for five bucks. 6.

Clamp down hard on the meat industry, put efforts into preservation of 1) endangered species 2) endangered languages |

1. Assuming money was no object, what kind of car would you like to own?
I’d probably go for some sort of Landrover, I really like the older style 3 door defenders. Also like the Range Rover Velar. 2. What is the security like in your building/estate/apartment/condo/cardboard box/wherever you live? Lock on my doors, I have cameras on the front and back of my house too. 3. What was the first pet you can remember having? A mongrel we brought home when I was about 2 or 3. 4. If you could go back in time, what advice would you give younger you? And would younger you take it? Probably to be more career driven. 5. What was the best bargain you ever got? I bought a dress off eBay years ago for about £6 and when it arrived the tag was still on it and cost almost £100 new. 6. If you were the undisputed leader of the world, what are the first three laws you would pass? Ban guns. Free healthcare Everyone needs a licence to own animals/to have some system in place to prove you can actually look after your pets.

^ HaHa! As I was posting it I wondered how many people here would remember watching that show, and also wondering how convincing the puppets might look to generations more used to CGI. Actually I was quite pleased with the voice-overs and their script; obviously for kids, but quite neat dialogue, concisely conveying both story and character.

^ Aha! So you're pretty old too! Yes, each show was about 45 mins long as I remember. For some reason, I used to love the bit when the palmtrees folded over to reveal a secret runway. As for toys, for a while in England, a cereal company gave away a plastic Thunderbirds vehicle in each box, so I got a few of them that way.

1. Assuming money was no object, what kind of car would you like to own?
A self driving car that I can get drunk in. 2. What is the security like in your building/estate/apartment/condo/cardboard box/wherever you live? They say there's this sketchy stoner who always plays weird music but I've never noticed him. 3. What was the first pet you can remember having? My first memory is getting my dog Jasmin (black lab/Austrian shepherd mix) for my birthday. 4. If you could go back in time, what advice would you give younger you? And would younger you take it? Don't take those pills bro 5. What was the best bargain you ever got? I got my drum set for about fifty bucks. 6. If you were the undisputed leader of the world, what are the first three laws you would pass? 1. No private property so that everyone can have housing, among other things. 2. Encourage education, like teaching people how to kill billionaires and grow food where they live. 3. Halloween is a month long (a fun one).
