*wheee* I have survived the madness that is ‘carnaval’ 🙂

// (1) How do you deal with a cold or flu?

A hot shower, lots of sleep. I do tend to want to eat fruit whenever I feel a bit non super.

// (2) Can you hobby when you feel run down? (Initially I accidentally wrote run over…)

Nope, probably because I’m using every bit of energy to fight the evil bugs.

// (3) Your opinion on the entertainment industry of the 1980s is…?

Not as good as I thought it was, but much better than whatever the heck new kids get to endure.
I know the old shows were thinly disguised advertisements for toys, but modern shows appear to ramp that up to eleven.

(4) Name a tv show you liked when you were younger or a child

Airwolf, Blue Thunder, A-team, Mc Gyver, Star Trek Next Generation, Fall guy.
I do have to say that I’ve only ever seen ‘Fall guy’ on the German tv channel (ZDF?) and it was called “Ein Colt fur alle falle”.
It was the first time I saw a series with an ad-break.

And because someone dared to post the butchered version of ’99 Luftbalons’ I’m posting this one episode of ‘Fallguy’ in German :

btw … there is a song called ‘ding-a-dong’ by a band called ‘Teach-in’:

The song in Dutch as it was meant to be :

It was the Dutch song that won the Eurovision song contest in the 70’s when they still had to use a full orchestra.
I wonder if they knew how dirty that title sounds in English 😉
I certainly didn’t.

Anyways … once I’ve fully recovered I shall think of a pledge for this week.
I’ve got plenty of stuff to read and a mountain of plastic bits to conquer.
Oh … I know … I need to finish my Gitz list and order the bits I need to build it.
