He certainly was in the late 70's early 80's when the bulk of us on here were in their teens/ twenties. Due to only having 3 or 4 tv channels and no internet, 99% of the UK population at the time knew who he was. Watching the Muppets whilst stoned was a popular cultural alternative to going down the pub on a Saturday night.

...so presumably, the reason why Maz is frequently depicted on here as some random 'blue bird' (not a bluebird, that would be completely different) has hitherto escaped you.
YouTube(have you heard of that?) will provide you with a history lesson/ catch-up session... :old:

I am perfectly aware of who the muppets are (half of them seem to be in here), I just didn't know of that particular character. Anyway, I'll let you guys back on with whatever you're doing in this thread now.

Any 1125 exhausts?

Yes, thanks.

By the way, this isn't a recent picture of me on my profile, it's from '86. I may be older than you think.
