Post by: AndyFC on February 19, 2008, 06:37:51 PM
Watching TV with my toddler tonight, I realised that the Boing Ball is doing other work:

Everything has suh wonderful names, why is the ball simply "The Ball?"  Methinks an email to the beeb is in order...

Also Derek Jacobi is the master of the show  :lol:  :lol:

The Ball features prominently in #29.  But I do find the title of #35 disturbing.  It's "Tombliboo Ooo Drinks Everyone Else's Pinky Ponk Juice"  I think I remember that from some party in the '70s...

:huh:

I've got an original suggestion for a name, how about:

"Boing!"

Hmm, more surreal 70's imagery I'm afraid from the UK.

"Time for bed ?" Anyone  :-o

If that ball was blue and white, it would look exactly like Mr. Beanbag.

Heehee, my missus is sick of me mentioning that HaaHoo!

Last years World Cup Skiing colours for I believe it was Sweden were rather Boingish too.

Edit - Croatia, part of their flag it seems -

I'm terrified, In The Night Garden is going to be sued by BMuck for IP and Trademark Infringement. Shame on you... You should have kept your "mouths shut".

Thats it for Makka Pakka, he won't a decent nights sleep and his scooter will get a flat. His bar of soap and sponge will be sold off to pay the fine.

Upsy Daisy and IgglePiggle Won't be able to meet at the bridge and kiss any more.

The Ninky Nonk ticket prices will rise and it'll never run on time again.....nor it will resize itself and no one will be ever able to climb on board.

Its a disaster.....even worse than the plague of the "Mucky Patch".

It will never be the same again. !!!! Sweet Dreams :)

Shaz

PS All this because AO Outed a doubletiming Haahoo who promised he would behave and never work for the Bill Muck again.
 :-D

Take a look at My Pictures in XP the wee polaroid snap beside "picture tasks" is a mini Boing ball!

I was willing to believe that the Boing Ball in XP was just a coincidence, but when MS also decided to use the name Zune, I had to assume that someone at MS has been following the Amiga scene.

It seems to have gone pear shaped - but we already knew that!

It is my 2 years old favourite read  :lol:
