You carry a notebook around everywhere; in case think up a really good line for a CS fic, or a pertenent forum reply, and if you don't write it down you'll forget.

You're revising for your theory test and start to wonder how the highway code would apply to SPVs.

I passed my theory test first time!

(got my practical test coming up in a few days time) But I never thought of this :oops:

Wouldn't SPV's be an exception to the rule? :angel)

*cough* I'll shut up now just in case the mods are around :wink:

the first thing you do when booting your computer is to watch your favorite CS music video, and THEN you think about checking email.

and

email from the Spectrum Headquarters Forum is always opened first!

you think about changing your last name to Scarlet....

Or naming your kid that, but deciding against it because everyone will know why you chose it. And the poor kid will have to face a lifetime of living with the legacy of being named a puppet.
I am so glad my brother happens to be called Richard - might be able to get away with that one.

you start giving your cats color coded nicknames that have nothing to do with their fur.
you ponder dressing them up for halloween in color coated doublets.....
you threaten to do the same to your firneds' cats

Your cats come running when they hear the beginning of the show because they know it is an opportunity for lap time.

you've been working for 14 hours, are dead tired, but can't possibly even think about turning in without watching at least 2 episodes, and the minute you see Scarlet you are wide awake again!!

sorry, i'm hopeless......

I'm a captain scarlet addict too, I admit it, As a kid I got up early on weekdays to watch captain scarlet and used to play out captain scarlet in the playground and pretend to Destiny or Melody Angels and "fly" around the playground. I collected all the figures which are currently hidden in the loft somewhere. I am continusously writing fan fic in my spare time, I keep using S.I.G and quoting things from the episodes. I pretend sometimes that I'm Spectrum captain on a mission (Why have I admitted that?!) and there are various other things but I really must dash as I'm supposed to in a Physics lesson. Will be back soon.

You know you're addicted to Captain Scarlet when your hubby is about to buy you a new all-singing, all-dancing PC for your birthday and has some one lined up to get it all working - so that it doesn't do the daft things your old one does - and all you worry about is how long you'll be without a machine while the man that tinkers with computers is making it work! Because, without a computer you can't play the Trivia Quiz, chat to other Anderfans, write your Scarlet fiction or read new online ones... :cry:

I've got withdrawal symptoms and it hasn't even happened yet! :roll:

Aww!

...You wish your first car is an SSC (or Cheetah)
... you own a red car and you plan/dream about putting the Spectrum logo on it

1. Editing images so you're with the characters

2 Editing pictures so the characters are with you

3. You insist and drawing the characters

4. You start thinking certain people you kow are mysterons

5. You have a cap the same colour as the colour coded cap of your favourite colour coded officer

Here's some I've thought of. I'm sure there are others.

My first car was a Citroen 2CV - but it was bright red, and I pretended it was an SSC - or even an SPV... imagination is a wonderful thing. :-D

I remember a car show many years ago when we did a Thunderbirds/ Captain Scarlet display and pretended a red rover was an SSC and a grey rover an SPV
