Belfast was an awfully precarious location when this was taken in 1987.

Colman Doyle’s 1973 photo of a woman IRA volunteer in Belfast became one of most iconic shots of the Troubles: https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2020/0616/1147804-troubles-northern-ireland-colman-doyle-photo-woman-ira-belfast-1973/

Colin Furze has done the same thing in the UK on YouTube. I haven’t heard any criticism of him.

The idea of someone having a pet snake in 1982 would have been so bizarre that it would be deemed comical. That said snake is called “Ginger,” a typical name for a harmless cat, not a 30-foot python reinforces that. This would probably have raised a sensable chuckle back in the day, but I don’t think it really stands up to the test of time.

The shows were just 30 minute adverts for the toys. Some of my greatest playtime as a kid was when Cobra Commander teamed up with Darth Vader but was eventually defeated by G.I. Joes and R2D2.

I wonder if it would be as good today as a rematch, might be better left in our memories.

Many a soldier lost his lifeblood on my blade.
