Blue Peter

[brennser]

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?

She was Gloria Hunnifords (mid-level ITV personality) daughter

Blur Peter!! What's that some grossly over-rated London show with pretentious little wanks for presenters?
 
 I wanted to shag the one from Magpie.

nah, me too! it was probably her that led to my fondness for women with Northern Irish accents...

[brennser]

so how did you earn your badge mankie?
 
 my memory is hazy - was it as simple as writing them a letter or was there more to it than that?

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.
