Tragedy is Obno that years ago he would have been a normal kid. Reading Wizard comic, building Meccano, understanding the internal confusion engine, walking everywhere (at any time of day without fear of kiddie-fiddlers) and eating sweets loaded with chemicals. God it must have been grim in those days.
Obno - Us Beano readers were the lazy buggers at the back of the class swapping cigarette cards and flicking snot at the kids who used to read Wizard comic, build Meccano etc......
"Building Meccano, understanding the internal confusion engine, walking everywhere (at any time of day without fear of kiddie-fiddlers) and eating sweets loaded with chemicals."
I doubt that the sweets I ate in those days were loaded with chemicals, but otherwise that must make me fairly normal.
Although I was a Beano reader, I used to sit at the back of the science class, winding up the Wimshurst generator. Once there was a good charge, Potter (the class dummy) got pushed onto it, giving him an almighty belt!

When I was a kid—which was not long ago – the mid noughties, in fact—I read the Dandy.

So what does that make me?
A poofter.
Now now Obno, just because Desperate Dan was giving Aunt Aggie one after his cow-pie we mustn't jump to conclusions.
