+Silver Horde Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 Only partly gc relevent. Have seen a lot of reference to Captain Pugwash lately( soft toy placed in cache/TB etc!). Has there been a new series? I think of the signature tune whenever I see the name, one of the favourites from my childhood! ttfn jane 'Women are like teabags. We don't know our true strength until we are in hot water!'

Rockratgirl Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 I think Captain Pugwash was one of the toys recently released by McD*nalds (even I can't bear to type the name in full ) Here's someone on Ebay (NOT ME!) selling a set of the toys inc.

+kennamatic Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 By amazing coincidence I started using the Captain Pugwash theme as the ringtone on my mobile last Sunday. Finding your caches - Losing my marbles. Quote

+Omally Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 Apparantly, the Grauniad got sued for a lot of money because they propagated the rumour of the false names of Pugwash characters. I won't repeat them here, but I'm sure everyone knows what I'm on about... "Woof" quoth he. Oh, and "Grrr" also. What Trolls? [This message was edited by Omally on May 30, 2003 at 04:27 AM.] Quote
+Paul G0TLG Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 I have a theory that whenever adults discuss childrens' TV, sooner or later those Pugwash names will come up. Thanks to Omally for providing yet more evidence ! Where did you get the ringtone? Someone I work with has the nickname "Captain Pugwash" and I'm sure he'd be interested. Going caching this evening (just to keep us slightly on topic!) Paul I came, I cached, I fell over in the mud Quote

My phone has a composer and I got the keystrokes fromthis site. they are literally changing servers at this very moment so you can't get to the kids themes. I'll update the link as soon as they are back up and running. In the meantime, if anyone is desperate you can mail me at kennamatic@deskb.co.uk and I'll send you them.

The Soup Dragon, Iron Chicken and The Froglets As polyphonic sound becomes more popular on phones and perhaps midi files as ring tones we might eventually get to the Clangers informing us of incoming messages.

+jeremyp Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 Everything mentioned so far is a mere shadow when compared with the greatest children's TV programme of all time. I am of course referring to the Magic Roundabout. ------- jeremyp The second ten million caches were the worst too. http://www.gagb.org.uk Quote
