my brother had an action man like that also one with 'real hair' and gripping hands.
I remember Tiny Tears from my childhood, also things like etcha-sketch which i couldn't understand or get any decent looking pictures from it.

I had an etchasketch and was useless at it. Remember beind over the moon at receiving a Rachel doll one Christmas. There was also a doll similar to tiny tears called baby alive.

No it was in the big race at doncaster where you was having a day out at the races there and you said get on him at 8-1 and I got on him at 8-1 and the sp odds were 7-1 and the bloody horse came from nowhere at the end and romped home.
