Survey: How many Irish people remember the Wanderly Wagon show on kids tv back in the day?

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

I showed my son a clip of it & he just looked at it as if to say what is that all about …for those that remember it appreciate your answers :) & sneaky snake & Judge did the safe cross code thing :) It wasn;t as it there was any choice on RTE back then & I was very young but after seeing a youtube video today of it brought it all back..

Oh, I do! I loved it … and Bosco. Mind you, I’ve seen Bosco recently, and think it’s no wonder that my mother told me he was dead …

Any AUSSIE parents drive an 05/06 Commodore Wagon OR Ford Falcon Wagon with 3 kids?

Friday, January 29th, 2010

just wanting to see if anyone on here might have a Commodore Wagon with 3 car seats or boosters and how well they fit along the back seat? Does anyone have the wagon with the third row/7seats?

Any comments about the pro’s or con’s about this car in terms of carting kids around with the car seats. Is it squishy to do up the seatbelts? Is there room enough for kids to do it easily? Is there still enough space with the third row seats? Any and all comments appreciated.

We are looking at getting an 05/06 commodore wagon preferrably but have heard the falcon is roomier (we have a 97 falcon wagon now, time for an upgrade!) but have 1 infant car seat (soon to be a wider booster seat), 1 booster seat and 1 block booster seat to accomodate (but not for too much longer).

thanks for any comments guys

My brother in law had a commodore wagon and FIVE kids (hence why it’s now HAD!). Three of the fancy booster seats (the ones that look like racing car seats) fit across the back not a problem.
These cars were designed for families, that means they were designed to take into account that there would occasionally be families needing to fit three car seats in!
One of our family friends has an 05 falcon sedan, he has two kids in boosters and I can fit comfortably in the backseat with the boosters in there. To give you an idea I currently wear a size 18, so I need about the same room as a large booster seat needs in order to be comfortable.

We don’t own either as we need a vehicle with off-road capability, we plan to upgrade to one of those Great Wall 4wd wagons next year.

Full Size Wagon Rental in Germany?

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

My family will be vacationing in Germany for three weeks this summer and I need to rent a vehicle for 3 adults and 2 kids and about 3 large suitcases. Will a "full size" wagon do the job? It looks like the European wagons have a lot less storage room, but the rental sites advertise 5 passenger and 4 large suitcases for some, i.e. the BMW 320 Touring.

Can anyone who’s actually driven some of these cars give me some advice? The adults are all tall, and the kids are 8 and 10 years old.

A BMW 320 is a smallish wagon, not much boot space.
If you want to get around comfortably, look at 9 seater minivans like this:

or a 7 seater:

In practically all 7 seater models you can fold down the last two seats to get a big boot.

IX Indoor Amusument Park - with young kids?

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

We are going when they open in Cleveland. We’ve have been but this is the first time taking the kids age 6 and 3. They say age 3 is free - But will he still be able to ride rides? Also wondering if we should bring a wagon or anything. Are you able to bring snacks in - I dont think but if we have a few small in our purse you think thats ok, They dont check us do they?

Yes there are rides and things that he can do. You could bring wagon if you like. Im not sure if you allowed to bring in food or not. Me and my family do every year so that shouldnt be a problem.

Kids are so funny!?

After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. At last she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?"

A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: "We used to skate outside on a pond. "I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard." "We rode our pony." "We picked wild raspberries in the woods." The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this in. At last she said, "I sure wish I’d gotten to know you sooner!"

My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo while I asked, "No, how are we alike?" "You’re both old," he replied.

A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather’s word processor. She told him she was writing a story. "What’s it about?" he asked. "I don’t know," she replied. "You know I can’t read yet."

I didn’t know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me, and always she was correct. But it was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these for yourself!"

A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They were finally ready to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if anyone could tell her what it was. Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, "Thou shall not take the covers off thy neighbor’s wife."

Our five-year-old grandson couldn’t wait to tell his grandfather about the movie we had watched on television, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." The scenes with the submarine and the giant octopus had kept him wide-eyed. In the middle of the telling, my husband interrupted Mark, "What caused the submarine to sink?" With a look of incredulity Mark replied, "Grandpa, it was the 20,000 leaks!!"

When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered "It’s too late grandpa, the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."

When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I’m not sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandma," he advised. "Mine says I’m four to six."

A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today." The grandmother more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool even though she was worried what the child may have been told. "That’s interesting," she said, "How do you make babies?" "It’s simple," replied the girl. "You just change ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘es’."

A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog’s duties. "They use him to keep crowds back," said one youngster. "No, said another, "he’s just for good luck." A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs", she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrant."

GREAT question!! You have just officially made my weekend!
Have a star!;)

She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter as she’d done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!"

My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, "62." He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?"

Children’s Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don’t you know what pregnant means?" she asked. "Sure," said the young boy confidently. "It means carrying a child."

Hehe and speaking of cute kids, I have a funny story about my 4 yr old cousin Amber and the time she went to the pools.
According to my nana who was there with her, this older kid started splashing her and the other kids and he wouldn’t stop so she told him off but he just ignored her, so after awhile she went right up to him, gave him the evils and flashed him the middle finger and he backed away and didn’t bother her again or the others lol.

Have wagon wheels and monster munch shrunk over time??

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Ok so im 36, and i recently purchased a pack of wagon wheels and monster munch for my kids. I know ive grown up since i used to buy them……but monster munch crisps and wagon wheel used to be HUGE!!!!!!!!!!..now they are like tiny…….anyone else noticed other confectionary stuff that have shrunk in the last 20 years????

Is it because we have grown bigger and when we were small they seemed big to us! I know what you mean though, Cadburys creme eggs are much smaller than they used to be. Hula hoops are smaller and aero bars.
