I asked her if her surname was Meldrum ...
That was actually a fairly astute one. That Molly has been out of the limelight since his bad fall ten years ago. I doubt anyone under sixteen knows who he is.
I was gonna write Molly a letter tomorrow in cursive writing because I know under 16s definitely don't know how to do that.
Iโm not allowed to do that - I am able to write cursive but I skived off getting my pen licence
Was going to hit Molly with Ian 'Turps' Turpie hosting The Price is Right and dating Olivia Newton-John for 5 years from age 19 before splitting up, and Turps going on to do Club Buggery but I might have to explain Roy and HG, which could take a while.
Turps dated Olivia? I can't even picture that!
First romance for both of them I understand.
I'd just name the daddos. Or explain what the daddos are.
Reminiscing 80s Australian TV shows is a great choice. Loads of people who were household names 40 years ago but are not really online.
Bapping up a decade, i'd kill for a dvd release of Ellie and Jools
There are some episodes on YouTube. I do not think you'll be able to get that one legally.
I used to watch Sliders on ch10. My sister watched that bloody craig mclachlan show bugs instead
Whatever hapoened to ol' craigypoo
He's still around, but facing #metoo consequences when he tries to work.
Thatโs a good one. Ask her who Plucka Duck or Jofferboy are. Or the Gobbledock. Or Alf. Or Johnny 5. Ask her about the Goggomobil.
I thought this character was called Molly for a second but no, itโs Kylie Mole. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vnuf9-zgdyw
spoiler
There was plenty of Molly around at the nightclubs 20 years ago but it didnโt seem appropriate to say that to a 16 year old.Mine ultimately ended up being really generic though because I just dashed it off.
or who ernie carroll is ( he was the guy who did ossie ostrich )
I shouldโve asked about Spoonman off the radio
Or Martin/Molloy
