        Jeez, never seen that Rupert one before. It sounds like someone pumps at 1:04 :snork:

        I had a few favourite toys. One where you had to land a plane which was on wires, onto a runway. The plane was attached to wires which were linked to your joystick :)
        I think it was a Phantom F4?? :scratch:
        I also had a helicopter which went around in a circle on a wire. You could control its height/power, and also speed/forward/back. If you were good, you could sweep down and pick up things on the carpet :)

            I recall my husband asking me to hold something for him, (diy related, dirty minds) and me asking if he thought I was "Twizzle"
