cant really follow STAN but two things i found out recently that i thought quite interesting

1 this surprised me as id have thought this would have been in the 60s forgive me if im wrong but this is the way i heard it on the radio and i cant see that they would be wrong so................NAME THE TOP SELLING U.S TOY IN THE 50'S


2 that handsome american pop idol glen campbell had a hit with a single about the vietnam war :o ive heard it a million times and never realised :-? can you name it and even better state why the title gives that fact away.......good luck quiz freaks :P

Just a guess - Marbles :-?

2 that handsome american pop idol glen campbell had a hit with a single about the vietnam war ive heard it a million times and never realised can you name it

Galveston

and even better state why the title gives that fact away.......

I'm not sure what you mean by the title gives it away :-?
but it was written by Jimmy Webb as an anti Vietnam song
and history shows the U.S. used Galveston as a training ground during the Vietnam war

Am i close?

Have already written this once, when i pressed submit last time it said could not find page & i've had to type it all out again.
I think the webs on the blink tonight :evil:

not marbles for no1 STAN my guess is that they were around years before that,good to have a guess though,i suppose this is too hard a question it was something really quite new at the time clue i guess you could say it was something kind of 'stupid' ,hey stan youre getting me all cryptic :D

but no2 you are spot on well done 8) i did hear it more like they shipped out from there so i suppose they would have had a training ground too,perhaps NICKY can tell us more, i just find this fascinating that all the times i have heard this i never realised what it was about,not that im a fan you understand

[Stan]

As you know i'm intrigued by clues :D

let me see, i've just read 15 million were sold in there first year :o

was it..........Hula Hoops :-?

[DISCODISK]

no STAN its not hoola hoops you eat HOOLA HOOPS :D

[Stan]

Fairly crisp answer there DISCO
:roll:
Lego perhaps but it's not "stupid" i don't think :roll:

[DISCODISK]

STAN i said 'kind of' stupid ,i never really meant stupid really hard for me to think of clues without blowing it,its two words it wasnt a boys toy it was for everyone but i guess boys did play with it more than girls.

[Stan]

How about Play Doh :-?

Doh, i suppose it's the wrong answer :roll:

[DISCODISK]

hey STAN posted that without reading your last post, youre getting really near,wheres the americans youre not gonna let an english guy get this are you?????!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

[Stan]

One last try for tonight then i suppose i'll have to let "as you say" the americans have a go. They should know better than me

SILLY PUTTY :-? :-?

[DISCODISK]

waaaaaaay silly putty it was 8) as i said kind of surprising to me as being far too young to remember the 50s id have really thought this was a 60s thing god those american kids had everything :cry:
