My parents convinced me that Jim of fix-it fame was in fact my Dad (who's name is also Jim). I then asked my Dad if he could get me some consideration (I have no idea why), and so he got me a teddy bear from a furniture shop and named it Consideration. I think I was 4.

Was that a dream? Sounds like one of mine.

It's no word of a lie. I still have the teddy. I know the story well because my parents just LOVE to tell it to family friends, enemies and any unwilling passer by :|

Did you not think there was something amiss in that your Dad didn't look about 134 years old, didn't have white hair and wasn't wearing a tracksuit? (Please disregard this question if your Dad does actually fit this description.)

It's a quality story though. Why did you ask for consideration?

Sorry, you already answered my question there.

I think it was because my Dad told me that I had no consideration (at 4 I think this isn't too much of a crime but he had standards).

I'm not sure why I believed that him and Jimmy were one and the same. Maybe they told me some kind of intriguing and elaborate tale of head swapping and wigs etc.

Indeed Cat Person Tiswas was a must for me on Saturdays although i was in my 20s at the time. As for garden centres i canna walk past one without thinking of Gilbert, to have witnesed such a clever and respected individual attain wealth and position from a very very underpriviliged begining, and seen his calamitious fall is most sad and strangely comical at the same time.....

My dad used to enjoy Tiswas, and he would have been in his 30's, something there for all, we don't have TV like that these days.

Has to be Maid Marian and her Merry Men. The BBC kindly released this on DVD a couple of years ago; and I watch it often.

I would think so, it was early 90s. Tony Blackburn was the writer and starred in it; Mark Billingham who now writes thriller novels also starred. It's as much an adult comedy as a children''s one though.
