Having a little work out during lunch.

***Chocky*** · 16-06-2008, 10:11 PM

Side kick
Very good

Nice one rolf, I tend to read the newspaper during lunch break, I don't think I have the energy to take up Karate as well.

My son is a 2nd dan in Karate, he used to pratice on me when he lived at home

**rolf** · 17-06-2008, 12:26 AM

The closest I got to a Dan as a kid, was Desperate Dan.

**Merlin** · 17-06-2008, 09:45 PM

How desperate is that Rolf......very I would say.

Pete.

**rolf** · 17-06-2008, 10:35 PM

LOL, not as long as I got my Cow Pie.

**Merlin** · 17-06-2008, 10:56 PM

Yes, I remember well the famous 'Cow Pie' Rolf. Truly amazing how some things live for ever in the memory. Yet with my advancing years I can sometimes forget what day it was yesterday until I remember what day it is today......erhum!

Pete.

When I was little I used to think desperate Dan was lovely
Now I find him cuddly
here is at 18 inches tall

**Merlin** · 18-06-2008, 03:34 PM

I love this 'model' of Desperate Dan Beryl he really brought back my childhood memories. When I expanded the image he flew off through our living room wall and into the house next door......WOW!

Pete.

***Chocky*** · 18-06-2008, 06:34 PM

Oh . What have i done

I'll have to re size him. Sorry about that. I changed my mind after re sizing one of him and for got to reduce the size of the snap I favored.

There all better. He was knitted for me by a friend along with Beryl the peril.
I gave Beryl the peril to an old friend. We were in the WRNS together . She sits on a chair in my friend's kitchen.

Sorry about hijacking you thread Rolf.

**Merlin** · 18-06-2008, 09:17 PM

I'm sorry to for being part of hijacking your thread too Rolf, but from the little Kung Fu Sparrow to the posting from Beryl above this one of mine......hasn't it been fun!

Pete.

***Chocky*** · 18-06-2008, 09:26 PM

Yes
Well quite honestly it was Rolf who brought up Desperate Dan in the first place so I think Rolf is just as much to blame

**Merlin** · 18-06-2008, 09:40 PM

Come to think of it you are right Beryl, Rolf did bring into the thread old 'Despy Dan'.

Pete.

***Chocky*** · 19-06-2008, 08:36 AM

So the little Kung Fu Sparrow might not have a black dan But he certainly now had a Despy Dan
