You know you're addicted to Captain Scarlet when ...

Ah ha!! New one.

After a horror movie has creeped yo out, you find yourself wishing that one of the captains was there to calm you down and make you feel safe.

...you find yourself wondering if the people with whom you lived for years have suddenly become victims of Mysteron take-over on account of their having become hostile to you, seemingly overnight.

...Colonel White's admonition that we should "not try to imitate" Captain Scarlet suddenly makes a lot more sense in a high-risk situation.

You keep checking through the local paper and phone book to see if Spectrum is in there.

all of the above cooments make perfect sense.

you tell your friend who has broken her finger that if it turns black, then suddenly gets better to be very careful it may have been mysteronized and will cause a lot of trouble from now own
and, she knows exactly what you mean.
AND thinks it funny.

Your family and friends notice you like driving backwards a lot.

You take an interest in military vehicles and buy a tank so you can paint it grey.

That might explain the behaviour of someone I know... though I haven't exactly known them for 'years'.

You insist on wearing one colour on black.

All the time... :oops:

Your family and friends notice you like driving backwards a lot.

Haven't tried that yet!

You insist on wearing one colour on black.

Do you mean 'You insist on wearing one colour; black'? Coz if you do, the majority of my clothes are black... :grin:

No I literally mean wearing black, then wearing another colour on top of it with the black showing underneath.

by **Serena Lewis** » Thu Nov 06, 2008 9:37 pm

Oh right...now you've said that, it's obvious...I thought you'd made a typo, and was referring to Captain Black or something... :oops:

Here's an 'addicted' thing...

One of the first things your mom tells her new boyfriend about you is that you are addicted to Captain Scarlet.

Kinda sad, eh? But true...

It was one of my best mates in my case. :oops:

No worries Serena, but you're right about the black clothing.

I've not done that yet :wink:

... but I dont have the right colour clothes I want to wear over black :cry:

Just hearing the name 'Paul' in any context makes you smile.

Whenever you hear learn someone has the same surname of one of the characters, you wonder if they are related.

Lol, I sort of do that. Haven't got coloured boots or tunic, so I wear black trousers, red jumper over (usually) a black t-shirt, black shoes and (really sad) red socks. Though not as much as I used to, as my uniform is a red top with black trousers and I like to wear different stuff in my leisure time. When I leave the shop, I'll go back to my old habit.
