This month's competition...
Remember how difficult it was getting anywhere on your Space Hopper without falling flat on your face? Well spare a thought for world record breaker Ashrita Furman who set a new record for the 100m sprint, on a Space Hopper, in just 30.2 seconds!
This month we have 2 x Space Hoppers and a Stylophone to give away courtesy of the cult retailer Hawkin's Bazaar- the home of unusual toys, gifts, gadgets and games.
To be in with a chance of winning back a slice of your childhood, simply tell us what world record you would set on your Space Hopper. The 2 most entertaining answers will win a Space Hopper each and a stylophone will be given to the runner-up.

The punk rock Clash-inspired element became even more prominent in the 90s, when MacGowan left the band due to drinking problems and the tin whistle, accordian, mandolin and banjo were replaced by electric guitars and Joe Strummer!
Sesame Street
On 10 November 2009, Sesame St celebrated 40 years on our televisions with the start of their latest series. Proof then, surely, that children still get enjoyment from TV programmes with an element of education in them (Blue Peter's another one still going strong). At the time of its launch, using TV in education like this was incredibly revolutionary. A recent study has found that teens who watched Sesame Street in pre-school or nursery had gained higher school grades than those who had not. Founders Joan Ganz Cooney and Ralph Rogers should be pleased with themselves on that basis alone...
They get our stamp of approval...

The 10 stamps have been designed by Studio Dempsey and include artwork from The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Mike Oldfield (yep, Tubular Bells), The Clash, New Order, Blur (that oh-so Brit pop greyhound cover of Parklife), Primal Scream, Pink Floyd and Coldplay.
