Airwolf ran from 1984 through 1987. The supersonic military helicopter with hidden weapons and stealth capabilities flew along the thin line of the Cold War standoff. Its test pilot, Stringfellow Hawke, was played by Jan-Michael Vincent.
When Airwolf is stolen by its twisted creator, Doctor Charles Henry Moffet, “the FIRM” asks Hawke to go to Libya [...]

Pussy Galore was the most famous name of a Bond Girl. Played by Honor Blackman, the superbad female pilot appeared in Goldfinger (1964).
Although the book is more forthright about Pussy’s sexuality, the film still hints at her being a lesbian: “I am immune to your charms”. This provides a unique challenge for Bond, who can [...]

The original cartoons were around in the 1950’s and every decade thereafter. Park Ranger Smith would occassionally arrive to [...]

Tunnock\’s Teacakes have been around for goodness knows how long but both the TV adverts for them and actually eating one remind me strongly of childhood packed lunches and, as I ordinarily ate school dinner, school trips.
Slightly melted Tunnock\’s Teacakes would be consumed readily on the bus to Beamish, where we went at least once [...]
