welcome to the deluxe studio oh my god oh my
god oh you've done such a lovely job not finished
and then it'll never be finished but it's ready
to go i was so pleased oh and you put your sticker
padlock and panel up as well remnants of the
technobile oh i love it they love it you've worked
really hard i genuinely love it oh yeah oh and
i like this one it's an actual light Oh, my God.
Yeah. It's so professional. Hopefully it doesn't
sound too shit when we're back upstairs very,
very shortly. This is Rightly Used with Adam
and Karen. Hello and welcome to the lightly used
deluxe studio. We're in, we're finally in. Hang
on, I didn't put the fancy lights on. Oh no,
what are you doing? That's the whole point of
it. We're supposed to be being professional and
all that. Let me press the button. There we go,
it's on people. There we go, hopefully you can
hear the difference. Yeah, the lights make so,
so much difference. Hello, I'm Adam. And I'm
Karen. And this is Likely Used, a podcast where
we mostly celebrate what tat we've found in charity
shops. And we do other stuff as well. Occasionally.
Now, we've had Turnip Tales last episode. Yes,
we did. So we had a bit of a break. Whilst we
were off, we've been doing a bit of YouTube watching.
We were both watching an actual gun advert. Oh,
God, yeah. Saying they were legal in the UK.
They showed an extended magazine and a week earlier
had a taser advert. Again, saying it was UK legal.
They are absolutely not. They're really, really
not. Did you figure out how to report them? Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Oh, excellent. It was for some dick
pill salt that you put under your tongue that
I reported. Lovely. I forgot to mention, after
playing Crystal Maze Future Zone, we spent fucking
ages. Trying to assemble that cube to put it
back in the box to put it away. We really did.
Karen's the only one that was successful. Each
of us spent at least 15 minutes or so trying
to put this cube back together. It was shameful.
As far as I know, it's impossible to do it against
that timer. We all had a fair go. We all had
a go without the timer. Nope, nope, nope, nope.
Karen, eventually after how many games? Oh God,
I don't know. I mean, we were a couple of drinks
in and... Yeah, it was a while. I think I sort
of like time slipped for a little bit. I just
vanished into cube zone. Drunk crystal maze.
Get rid of the timer. Can you solve any of these
problems? Maybe that's the trick. So what I need
to do then is memorise all of the games that
I don't want to do. No, I meant for us to watch
on TV the actual crystal maze. Get people half
cut in there. Like drunk history. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Fucking cod. Goes there. Turn the wrong
way, you twat. No. You can't go through the hole
yourself and pull somebody back out by the legs.
Not that we're advocating for very drunk people
on television, but that could be kind of funny.
Is this a one -off? Yeah, we could commission
one episode. Maybe we should open a Ko -fi or
a Patreon or something. charge a ridiculous amount
of money so we can raise enough to do one episode
of Drunk Crystal Maze. There was a Crystal Maze
down in Pembrokeshire but that shut down years
ago. Bloody Oakwood Park just shut down this
month as well. I know. And I've never been. Really?
No, I know. I've been in Wales for 23 years this
year and I never went to Oakwood Park and now
they're closed. None of the rides were thrilling
like Alton Tower was thrilling but it was still
fun. Yeah, I mean, you know, they were a bit
like, you know. the flamingo land of wales they
were everyone everyone who'd had nice rides and
then sold them off because they wanted something
a bit better you know oakwood was like the home
of orphaned rides from other theme parks we'll
have to try and keep an eye if they do one last
hurrah opening before everything's shut down
no it's gone they've already started dismantling
the rides yeah they can waste any time i know
they really haven't and i don't know the reason
they've closed probably financial and that's
completely understandable But I am kind of secretly
happy that it's shut down. And I know that sounds...
Sour grapes to me. I know that sounds cruel.
But I really want to go somewhere exciting and
do a bit of urbexing. And I just think a closed
theme park that's been abandoned for a year.
If they've started disassembling, it'll just
be... I can't remember. 80 acres? It'll just
be an empty plot of land. Well, you know, they
might leave the buildings there and that could
be somewhere to explore. But obviously most of
the rides would be gone or just in pieces. But
I just think it would be a really interesting
photo opportunity. I think most of the rides,
most of the buildings, there were just the shelter
or the bit to get into the rides. Oh, really?
Or there were just these little structures where
like hot dog carts, shacks and stuff like that.
So, yeah. Maybe not then. Aw. I think, oh, there
might have been an indoor play area, but that
would have been, that would probably just be
a big empty warehouse. There we are then. We've
talked up and dismantled my dreams all in the
space of two minutes. Thanks, Adam. Oh, we do
have a pod nod. You're going to be on the upcoming
Who Takes Socks Off for the 50th episode. I am.
I really am. Half the time I forget that I did
that recording and then I remember how stressed
I was in the run -up to it because I'm, like,
Miss Anxious. And now it's just like I had such
a laugh with Simon and Ross doing that recording
that I can't wait for it to come out. And I know
it's not really, like, everyone's cup of tea
because they're very open with their language.
Great promotion for them. It's for everybody.
Well, you know, it's for everyone. Especially
children. No, definitely not children. You know,
they're such a laugh. And they just use language
how people use language when they're not normally
being recorded. So I'll be interested to find
out what my dad thinks of it. And my mum in particular.
But, yeah. So, yeah, look out for me on Who Takes
Her Socks Off, episode 50, coming to you soon.
Channel84 .co .uk. There is a parental advisory
sticker on the podcast, so you're fine. Oh, okay.
There we are. Is it a shiny one? No, no, just
one of the regular ones. It's just inside there.
It's probably printed on it. They should have
done a special shiny one for the 50th episode.
Can we talk about where else you're going to
be soon? Or is that shush until it's a little
bit closer? Because you're recording that this
weekend. I'm recording tomorrow. I am going to
be on another podcast. Can we say any more of
you? sorry to dump i know i'm trying to i'm trying
to i'm trying to sort of word this because i
don't know if i'm allowed to say let's err on
the side of caution um so one person in particular
who listens to this podcast and will know that
i'm talking to them right now i will be on their
podcast and hopefully i won't fuck it up You'll
be fine. Yeah. You know, that's what editing's
for, right? That's what you said to me. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. But I'm looking forward to it. It'll
be really fun and it's a bit different. We'll
be telling you more when we can. Yes. We promise.
When I've been told I'm allowed to say. Because
until then... We might have said too much already.
Coming up on the show, moving swiftly on. We've
got lightly used news. The next chapter in the
saga of Johnny Turnip and Friends. We've got
Tet in the Box on the way. The penultimate episode
of The Crystal Maze. Nearly, nearly in that bloody
crystal dome. And also it's my choice of bibliothèque
to end the show. Which is really good because
last week I thought it was mine and I had a little
bit of a panic. Oh, we do have our first sponsor
from Art. No way! This episode is sponsored by
Soul Art Tanning Salon. Need a tan but live in
Wales? Visit Soul Art. Save on expensive holidays,
we've got sunbeds and sprays. Our UV rays will
make it look like you've been away for a few
days. A range of power levels and pigments to
suit your time and budget. Solart Tanning Salon.
Solart. Home of the two -minute turbo tan. Exposure
to ultraviolet light may not be suitable for
the red heads of vampires. What? He said to read
that very fast. Is that redheads and vampires?
It doesn't say to repeat it. Okay. Oh, thank
you. Thanks. So that tanning salon, home of the
two -minute turbo tan. Fascinating. Does that
own the tanning salon there? Sounds dubious.
He did say he had properties. Isn't that like
how you launder money? Tanning salon, launder
it. If the next one is a laundrette, we need
to worry. In lightly used news, we turn once
again to the Abergavenny Chronicle and Tim Butters
for further adventures of Johnny Turnip. Monday,
24th June, 2024. Abergavenny Man claims he knows
where King Arthur is buried. For centuries, historians
have been debating if King Arthur was a real
person, and if so, where the legendary British
war leader's mortal remains can be found. However,
according to semi -professional paranormal investigator
Johnny Turnip, the case is now closed, after
he and his friends have finally located the ancient
burial site, and plan to dig it up in a bid to
return the once and future king to his rightful
throne. Turnip told Chronicle, It all began when
we were rescued from our pig hunting adventure
in the Forest of Dean by my mate Tom Cruise.
We were looking forward to having a little kit
before going on a three -day bender. However,
the devil makes light work for idle hands, and
soon it was me, Big Tony and Puerto Rico Paul
getting stuck into day two of our three -day
well -deserved lager festival and arguing if
David Bowie would have still been cool if he
was fat when I got a call from Tyke. That's my
pet name for Cruise on the blower. JT, he cried,
all enthusiastic in that nauseating way some
Americans have. I've got four backstage VIP passes
for Taylor Swift's gig in Cardiff. Who's in?
Turnabout it. Because Tyke was on speakerphone,
Big Tony started putting his finger down his
throat and making puking gestures. Meanwhile,
Puerto Rico Paul gets up and starts doing this
weird dance and singing Cruel Summer, but in
a gruff and guttural voice like a northern bloke
who eats a lot of pies and keeps pigeons wood.
I simply replied. No offence, Tyke. I know you
mean well, but there's no Swifties here, mate.
Taylor may be talented, but she's got too much
of an over -the -hill cheerleader with emotional
issues vibe for artists. Well, Bonnie Tyler,
then. Now there's a class act. A woman in white
stilettos and a leather jacket who can out -drink
us all before beating us at pool. Turnip ended.
I once bumped into Tyler in the late 80s in Tredegar
Snooker Hall. What a girl and a knight. She's
got the sort of voice that can make rocks bleed.
Turnip explained that after politely declining
Tyke's generous offer, the Hollywood heartthrob
said, Shoot yourself, guys. I'll just take Clooney
and Pitt. Those who love freebies. Kind of undecided
which voice I was doing with that. Should I do
a Turnip voice or not? Ah, well. 30 -50. Turnip
revealed, After Tyke had hung up, the form began
ringing again, but this time it was number withheld,
which meant it was probably Nanny and a Horror
Show Turnip, the old witch loves to make prank
calls. Hello, you old nappy -wearing, urine -soaked
hag, I barked merrily. You're going to have to
get up much earlier in the afternoon if you're
going to catch this turnip out. Excuse me? said
an otherworldly voice, sounding not so much posh,
but ancient. There's no excuse for your sort,
I joked as an icebreaker. There was an uncomfortable
silence, and the voice goes, Am I speaking to
Sir Turnip, the gallant knight who saved the
fairy realm? An attempt to slay the legendary
Grunterand? Who wants to know? I said in that
guarded way I've adopted instinctively, after
a lifetime of being hounded by bureaucratic jobsworths
and debt collectors. My name is Mr. Allot. You
can call me Lance. I'm king of the realm. What?
Like Keir Starmer, Elton John and that lot? I
said, playing along, thinking it was Fast Eddie,
who's in with Horror Show and the prank. No,
not like those scoundrels at all. I serve the
round table that was, is, and will forever be,
he said impatiently. What, that weird men's club
that put on the fireworks in Bailey Park? If
you're looking for some new members, it's not
really my cup of tea. Appreciate all you do for
the town, but thanks and no thanks. So end of
explained. He got a bit huffy at this point and
shouted, Dampen your eyes, you impotent root
vegetable! I'm Sir Lancelot, raised in the realm
of fairy by the Lady of the Lake, orphaned by
heir of King Ben, unrivaled in swordplay and
joust, pure of heart, undimmed of vision, and
sworn companion and liege to the once future
king. I will not tolerate your games. Turnip
said, Well, then I was twiddling my finger next
to my head and mouthing, Nutter alert! The boys,
they were cracking up. However, that could have
just been the side effects of copious amounts
of sun and stellar. Turnip added, Anyhow, I'm
not one to make sport of other people's delusions,
and I have a lot of empathy for nutjobs, but
before I could shout, Why do you sleep with Gwynevere,
you slag? He stopped me in my tracks, and he
said in a soft and soothing voice, Remember that
recurring dream you had as a youngster, Sir Turnip?
The one where you would pull the sword from the
stone, and the world and its maidens fall at
your feet? Yes. I said nervously before turning
the phone off speaker as Big Tony and Paul sat
at eyeing me with wolfish interest and smirking
like evil gherkins. How do you know? I told you.
I am no mere mortal. I am an eternal knight who
lives in the hearts of men everywhere. I'm here
to help you make that dream come true. You'll
make me king of the world and all -powerful.
I gasped before downing half a pint of lager
in excitement. Not quite. He sighed. But you
will have a significant part to play in the New
World Order. Where do I sign up? And do I get
hold Excalibur? I asked. As a combination of
adrenaline and excessive alcohol intake nearly
caused me to pass out. All will be revealed,
my white knight upon a fiery steed. Yet there
are secrets I can only divulge in person. Can
you meet me at Llanfoy's Cemetery? An hour? He
asked. I'm on it, I replied. Turn about it. If
only I'd known then the lies and treachery Sir
Lancelot was capable of. I would have saved us
a lot of grief. And poor Dorigo Paulus still
have both his hands. Oh, God. To be continued.
It's time for... Tat in the box, tat in the box.
Tat in the box, tat in the box, tat in the box,
tat in the box, tat in the box, tat in the box.
Right, so it's your turn to close your eyes first,
my turn to get my thing out of my box for you
to guess what it is with your eyes closed and
try and work it out, which is going to be easy
this week. And try real hard not to hit the mic,
which is now in a new position. Now we've got
all the table in front of you. We've got a whole
table and I know that I'm... Yeah, I'm just going
to end up hitting the mic, so apologies in advance.
That's okay, you've got room to swoosh your hands
underneath the microphone, yeah. Swooshy, swooshy.
Right, my eyes are closed. Right. Gimme, gimme.
Am I still on mic? It's a bit low down, yes.
Hard to tell when my eye's closed. You've got
headphones on, though. I know. You shouldn't
have your eyes open or closed. That's true. That's
really true. I'm such a professional. Okay. Is
it big? Average size. Feels cold. Oh, you're
not touching. I know I'm not, but there's cold
air between my hands. There we go. Are you putting
it on the table? Yes. Okay. Oh, it does feel
cold. Instantly guessed. Is this your Batmobile?
I even turned the box the wrong way around to
make it harder. It's your Batmobile, isn't it?
Yeah, it is. That'll come out at some point.
Well, yeah, now that we've moved down here, I
can put it straight up on the shelf. That's true.
It can go in this new posh place. That's pretty
much the only reason I've brought this now, is
just leave it in this room. Easy transfer. So,
yeah, it's the Batmobile from the 1966 TV series
with Adam West and Burt Ward. This is my favourite
of the Batmobiles. Okay, why? I think it's the...
Oh, look at the ones on the back. Oh, it's pretty
cool. I like the orange piping. You've got the
other ones on the back there, you can see, which...
Oh, yeah. Oh, they're all a bit shit, really,
aren't they? Yeah. I think it just looks the
funkiest. It's the classiest, most classic -looking
Batmobile. I like the orange piping. It's very
attractive. It's the first Batmobile I saw as
a kid, from when S4C showed the Batmobile, the
Batmobile, the Batman TV series. And for all
our non -Welsh habitational listeners. Oh, Channel
4 Wales. Yeah. S4C, Sanalpedwar, Cymru. Is that
what it means? Yeah. Oh, there we are. Based
on the Lincoln Futura concept car, it was made
for the 1954 car show and auto expo circuit in
1955. The concept car was built entirely by hand
in Turing by Coachbuilders Gear at a cost of
$250 ,000, a quarter of a million. That's about
$2 .9 million in 2025 money. Wow. And subsequently
sold to famous car customiser George Barris for
$1. and other valuable consideration. I'll put
a copy of that letter on the blog. So Lincoln's
Ford's luxury brand, like GM has Chevrolet for
everyday cars and Cadillac as their luxury brand.
So Lincoln is the upmarket Ford brand. I didn't
know that. I learned a thing. Apparently the
car was just stored at Barris' shop for years
until he was contacted or contracted and he was
given three weeks by the studio to make the Batmobile.
It already had the bubble canopy and the little
hoods. over the lights and tail fins. So it was
a good starting point for the Batmobile. So Barris
hired Bill Cushenberry to modify the metalwork,
exaggerating the features, adding to the bits.
Didn't put any spacers on the wheels, did they?
It was before stance. So yeah, the beak on the
nose there got rid of the big oval mouth that
was on the bottom of the wheel. I'll put a photo
of the before and after cars on the blog as well.
Cool. Originally it was pearlescent white. It
was repainted red to show up on Film Better in
a 1959 film. It started with a kiss. Ended up
black with fluorescent cerise stripes in 1966.
The toy is made by Jada. Not entirely sure. J
-A -D -A. On the back of the box, I was pointing
at earlier, they've got the line of all the on
-screen Batmobiles in the range. This is 1 .32
scale. Doesn't say anywhere on the box. So I'm
reliant online for that. Like where I got it,
reliant online. I got it from Bernardo's eBay
shop in March 2023. Oh, nice. I paid £22 for
it. That's funny for you. Yeah, it was quite
a bit cheaper when I first bid. I didn't have
too much long to go. Before I got bid up a whole
bunch, I decided, no, I'm not prepared to pay
any more. That's my limit. Plus it's £4 .50.
Yeah, 450 postage on it as well. So I'm not that
into Batman to pay anymore. From seeming bit
of a bargain, I ended up paying pretty much the
going rate. I had a look this morning. eBay's
asking around 25 to 30 -ish for the same version.
All right, fair enough. So you didn't have a
bargain, but you weren't, you know, you didn't
overspend either. I paid what I was willing,
what I decided mentally it was worth. Yeah, no,
you set yourself a limit and you stuck to it.
And that's important for many things in life,
not just money. And I've got a funky thing for
the shelf. True, true. Do you have a favourite
Batmobile? I don't necessarily have a favourite.
I will say there are eight Batmobiles on the
back of this box. At least three of them look
like they were modelled after dildos. No, very
phallic. Where are we? Batman Forever Batmobile
and the bottom corner. I don't know. This animated
one, I think. That's for kids. Oh, I don't know.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, there's at least
three on there that, you know, look like they
would sell really well if they had batteries
in them. Holy. Hold. Brilliant. It's my turn
to close my eyes, guess and caress your item.
What I will say in advance is this is more than
one piece. Okay. So if it falls apart, you haven't
broken it. And it has moving parts also. Oh,
yeah, yeah, right. Okay, it feels like it's made
of wood and it's sanded it. Correct. It feels
like there's a cog and gear mechanism here somehow.
I can't believe this hasn't naturally fallen
into your hand in the right place yet. Oh, right.
Sorry, I was holding it by the barrel. It's some
sort of gun. Is it an elastic band gun? It is
indeed. Searching by the V in the barrel. It
is an elastic band gun. Unfortunately, I've not
been able to find any elastic bands. And it didn't
come with any. Forward, forward. There we go.
I'll put the whole thing back to you. I've got
your pistol. Right. It's got a flat object in
the front. It's got a wooden base, upright wooden
piece with a dowel at the back. And what feels
like hinged flaps on the front, like a scoreboard
sort of thing. Yes. It's got to be for tallying
some sort of score. Is it for some sort of hooplet?
Oh, I know what you're doing now. Right. Oh,
hit the mic again. Right, so you put these up
this way. Yeah. And then you shoot the elastic
band at the target. You do indeed. Shooting gallery.
Yes, correct. Correctamundo. And happy it's not
your birthday, it's a gift for your touch shelves.
Oh, thank you. And there's points 10, 20, 30
and 50. Yeah, not sure what happened to 40. So
I've called this the Bang Bang Shooty Gun. It
does fire elastic bands and there's a mountain
backboard, as Adam has described, with drop -down
hinge targets 10, 20, 30 and 50 for value. It
cost me £2 .95 from the Greyhound Rescue in Swansea.
There are no brand marks, no labels, nothing
on it to sort of suggest who made it, where it
came from, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So I did the one thing that all people who are
Gen X, almost millennials do, and that's turn
to Google Lens. The closest match I could find
was on Amazon. The Englehart wooden shooting
game. However, it's not currently available to
buy in the UK. I think that might be because
it was a French store. Thanks, Brexit. And because
it wasn't available to buy, I couldn't find out
how much they were selling it for. Prior to it
being unavailable, it just says unavailable.
So what I did was translate one of the reviews
from French to English. So Jen gives this five
stars. Title of the review is consistent. Review
says game for children. It is necessary to set
to a maximum of one meter 50 for it to be effective.
Brackets. The elastic band hits the targets.
um and that is all i've been able to find but
having read that review it did make me think
of something that i want to bring in at some
point that lots of other people do which is find
random reviews for objects that either we already
own or we randomly come across and see if we
can find the funniest review either the funniest
five star or the funniest one star I am a bad
person and I buy a lot of things from Amazon
and I review everything. And if you want me to
bring some of my own personal reviews in to listen
to, I absolutely will because I love making them
as funny and fluffy as possible. Oh, yeah. Well,
if we can compare yours to somebody else's. What
we should do. A satisfied customer or dissatisfied
customer compared to how you found the product.
Yes. And then we should ask Ruth how she got
on the super secret Amazon list because, like,
my reviews are fucking awesome in my mind. We
can't tell people that if you get on the super
secret list. I know, it won't be super secret
anymore. Yeah, I think it's going to be like
rule one of the super secret list. Don't talk
about the super secret list. And we're back at
the Crystal Maze with Jackson, Adam and myself.
The maze must... With an O. With an O. With an
extended O. We're on the final zone, which is
the medieval zone. And it is Jackson's turn to
pick the game first. Oh, good. I am not. Oh,
that means I'm. Yes, right. Anyway. I already
know the plan. I'm going to go. Mental game.
Complete the word chain using the toys. Place
the first three cards of the word chain onto
the first three spaces of the board game. When
the time starts, the player will first need to
establish the connections between the first three
given cards, i .e. dollhouse, house brick, etc.
However, if they struggle, then guide them towards
the link. Once they have got the gist of what
they are looking for, the player should study
all the toy cards. They need to complete the
word chain by filling in five blanks selecting
from the 17 remaining toy cards. When they complete
the chain of eight toys, they win the crystal.
So you just need to find the five that correspond
with the chain of... Do you understand? Okay,
you ready? Start the timer. And you're out of
time. I was going to go for Dalmatian from Fire.
I didn't even see these. I put them all over
there. It wasn't any of those. No, no. I was
wrong. I didn't even see those. Okay, so the
solution was... Mine's the final one, apparently.
Fire Guard, which I didn't know was there. Was
it Fire Guard? No, it's not. No, I didn't get
it. So it's Apple Tree, Tree House, House Fire,
Fire Door, Door Stop, Stop Watch, Watch Dog.
I haven't said it out loud. You did. Well...
No crystal this time, but you are like three
up on Adam. I'm pretty sure that's not enough.
Right, do you want to take a game, Adam? Let's
put these away first. Okay, alright, Mr Organised.
No, because I already know what I'm going to
choose. Oh, I would bet you a tenner if not the
physical. I will take that bet. Really? It's
physical. And from the very first introduction,
I'm playing my Karen card. But you get to do
it. Oh, fuck. I'd forgotten about the Karen card.
So had I in the first couple of games. I remembered
for the rematch, though. Bollocks. What do you
get to do? No, actually, no. I get the book,
don't I? Yeah, that was really snatchy grabby.
I didn't want you to read the instructions or
the answers. It's a physical. It's not going
to give me an answer, is it? Yeah, yeah. Roll
the dice repeatedly over the finish line until
you have rolled one, two, three, four, five,
six, at least one each. Do you remember when
we played this at Christmas and I literally got
one, two, three, four, five, six in a row? That's
never going to happen. No, it's not. It's never
going to happen. You have to do it from afar,
like two metres. What do you need? A dice, something
to mark, start and finish lines, timer and the
crystal. Create a start and a finish line in
a room. Start line should be roughly two metres
away from the start. Place the dice on the start
line. I wish I'd remembered that one in the last
round. I bet Jackson would have remembered it.
No, Jackson. Oh, you do get a Karen card too,
don't forget. Yeah, you both get one Karen card
to swap. Oh, I don't have to play anymore. Come
on, then. The object of the game is to roll a
dice. They roll every possible number at least
once. One, two, three, four, five, six. For clarification.
Okay, thanks for specifying. That's what it says
there. All right. If you move out of the way,
I can go from here to the unit. so if you sort
of stand here you can be dice collector all right
we're ready ready okay time starts now i won
you a crystal that's the only way you would get
one wouldn't it that's why i played the car i've
got about a minute left thank you maze master
yeah Hooray! To end this episode, it's my choice
of book in bibliotek. And once again, from the
library of books. From Adam's Nana. Is it big?
No. Oh, look at this. It's the Detective's Handbook
by Anne Savardy, Judy Henley and Angela Wilkes,
illustrated by Colin King. It's a first edition,
published 1979 by... Is that Inspector Gadget
on the front? No, for legal reasons. It predates
Inspector Gadget, I think. Oh, that's awesome.
I think Inspector Gadget was in the 80s. I think
it definitely predates Inspector Gadget. Yeah,
this is more heavily used than likely used. It's
definitely heavily used. I know, yeah. Yeah,
I think that's great, though. I was looking back
through the book and thinking to myself, there's
a lot of forgery stuff in here. And I only found
out when I was looking through to see if this
is on the Internet Archive to link in the blog.
It's a compilation of three books. Oh, right.
It's the Osborne Detective Guide series, each
written by one of the authors and all of them
illustrated by the same guy. Oh, cool. It's Catching
Crooks. clues and suspects, and fakes and forgeries,
which would explain why there seemed to be a
lot of stuff about forgeries in particular. And
that book was still being published until at
least 2008, and that's the version on the Internet
Archive that you'll see linked on the blog. It's
got a new cover, typeface seems to be the only
significant changes, and the new version did
also correct the contents page. Aha! And my version
doesn't list... several sections they're just
missing from the contents entirely love it i
think just to fit in the box they've put arbitrarily
on the page the main characters it's detective
dodd he's the one in the brown coat he thought
was inspector gadget detective trapper who's
more experienced in the blue coat there's a female
detective who's a dog handler and as far as i
know her name does not come up she's not given
a name but the dog's called petal uh how very
70s But it puts a couple of tabs on the pages.
This one is, has your room been searched? Some
tips and tricks for hiding things to find out
if somebody's come in your room, like putting
a paperclip in the door to find out if it's been
opened, putting some hair across books to see
if it's been opened. This one's about how photographs
lie and people can manipulate negatives or using
high -speed photography to fake a UFO photo.
This one, Monster Bird Attacks Londoner, is putting
sort of paper cutouts on the window. When I was
a kid, I tried fooling my friends with that.
They absolutely didn't believe me. Oh, what a
shame. And finally, the last page I want to point
out, that's where I learned the phonetic alphabet
as a kid in this book, and it's still coming
in handy now. If you want to read this yourself,
it'll be on the blog, lightlyused .co .uk. Nice.
Uh, right. Uh, bye then. See ya. No, we've made
it to the outro. I know this will come out in
a fortnight and it'll be two weeks too late,
but I'm going to use this opportunity to very
cheekily wish my lovely dad a happy 70th birthday.
Many happy returns, Mr. Chesters. Yeah, indeed.
Oh, does he, is he still around? I'm sorry, dad's
role. Admiral Chester's, yeah. So he's been out
on his motorbike with his friends today. So,
yeah, happy birthday, Dad. See you in a few weeks
for a big party. Oh, awesome. Have a good one.
