Blue Peter

no, its nothing rude, and only the Brits will know what I'm talking about but apparently
Caron Keating, former Blue Peter presenter died yesterday. She started just as I was growing out of the show, but sad all the same. It was also still quite a novelty to hear an Irish accent on BBC at that time.
God how I loved Blue Peter - Simon Groom was my hero.

I came from the John Noakes and Peter Purvis generation….you know, "Get down Shep"!
Don't know this lady but very sad news. I actually had a Blue Peter badge, the real thing. I wore it all during my Falklands Islands tour, which gave the lads a laugh.

When you were growing out of Blur Peter…… didnt you find yourself thinking that you would like to shag her? Or was that just me?

I had a G/F who had 3 blue peter badges….. She always sent in art-work to the competitions. I think my wife best described a photo of her as "bookish".

Like the US Marines sword….earned, never given!!
I got mine the night before we left for the Falklands…..I shagged a local lass and she gave me her Blue Peter badge the next morning as I was leaving her house. I must've done a good job.
