I had a dream that I was a young Jason (the Red Ranger from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers) and I hung around with young Billy and young Trini and we rode bikes and solved crimes. This one time, I barged into a private gang pool clubhouse to find the swing set that they'd stolen and we had a massive chase scene.

@thelastgherkin Were you deprived of a swing set as a child?

@ceruleanspark No, I totally had one! And ALL the Power Ranger toys. The former has since been sold for scrap and the latter on eBay.

@thelastgherkin I had one Power Ranger toy and no swing set. I did have Quadro in my garden though, which was the best improvised weapon work/outdoor toy you can give a child.

@ceruleanspark What's a Quadro?

@thelastgherkin Imagine Knex, only made out of huge ABS plastic pipes. It was basically a Build-Your-Own climbing frame/Siege Engine kit designed for kids to build. Came with wheels, and platforms enough pipework to replicate that one windows 95 screensaver.

@thelastgherkin Hay! morning/afternoon (...midday?)! How are you doing today?

@thelastgherkin I remember one time we built a car by attaching 4 wheels to a chassis. Then we rolled it down the tallest hill we could find before realising that the engineers at quadro had not provided us with a way to steer or stop the vehicle. Later, I went to hospital.

@ceruleanspark Fire up the Quadro.

@pawnheart It saw a lot of use providing a framework for building enclosed armoured vehicles for snowball/water fights too. We might not have had super soakers, but my mobile quadro-fortress was unstoppable.

@ceruleanspark I was going to say "Fire up the Quadro". :(

@ceruleanspark That sounds incredibly awesome. If possibly dangerous.
