The Rimini Riddle

Does anyone remember this? A couple of us have been talking about it in work and searching the web for pictures or videos. It was on on Saturday mornings on RTE and possibly repeated sunday eveinings. It was about two (maybe three kids) who went to live with their Aunt Vera. The characters were puppet based characters and there was another weird sock type puppet "otto" I think was his name. There was also something about some weird painting that led the kids into a fantasy land. It was real Scary shit, I have no idea why I watched it but I cant find anything much about it on the Web! Theres a few mentions on boards but no images.

The lazy mans tent


Cool, Just got a new tent for myself. Well I didnt actually get it, but long story short, I loaned my younger brother my own tent last summer and he wrecked it so he bought me a new one this year. Its a Eurohike popup tent. Its class you literally fire it up in the air and it lands as a pitched tent. all you have to do is peg it down. You can see a video here. Click the "Folding your tent" link at the bottom right! This one is actually a quecha tent but its the exact same. They are fairly cheap aswell only €60.
