I was making my own kids hot water bottles tonight and i ALWAYS refer to them as 'walter'. (have done for years) after walter hottle bottle. When I did a google search and saw that someone else called them walter too, I thought "how bizarre"! The image I had of him in my mind was nothing like he actually looks in the illustration though.

I used to have nightmares about Walter Hottle Bottle and King Neptune. Can't remember the story or any pictures or why I had nightmares 35 years ago. Would love to read that story again, maybe it will help me realise why I am who I am. more…
I'm very glad to see you upright hon and comiserations on being stuck in a revolving door with an imminent no. 2. I got stuck in one myself 40 years ago so they tell me. You take care! more…
Surely if Victor Kyam of Remmington Razor fame were still with us he .."would like it so much.." he'd "..buy the company." Although they looked like false teeth to me...

Maybe it's because I've always refered to them as holt walter bottles but always thought it was a play on words rather than based on any character!! more…
Oh you poor thing :(
I know what you mean. Walter makes me think of Hilda Baker saying, "Have you been Walter?" Do you remember that? Oh dear me, what a blast from the past. It is odd though that some come back and some don't. more…
That happened to me twice yesterday!!!! you can tell I was in pain and lacked concentration:(
What the comment should have said was something like
"I knew a few little boys called Walter when I was little and isn't it odd that the name never became popular again like Jack, George or Samuel. lol
Laptop batteries, don't ask. Mine was down to only holding 58 mins. Toshiba's genuine replacement was bloody astronomical in price so I got mine from a place called 'batterystreet' who are on Ebay. One third the price. more…
You silly, don't be sorry :) I haven't read anyone's blogs for a while but last I read you certainly looked as if it had all turned out beautifully in the end. Hope so after all that stress! More congratulations to you both and Happy New Year!
No, I think emailing Phil would be a bit much for him, lol. It would have been nice if all the o more…
I can't even imagine the stress you're going through, I'll go and see if there are updates on your blog in a mo. Don't feel guilty - I just sometimes want things to stay the same but that's not possible or good, I'm just a silly arse ;)
I knew you missed the knitting, I could sense it ;) :D :D more…
