The year was 1989 and a phenomenon had just began - four fearless fighting green machines quickly took over this ten year old boys life and an obsession quickly ensued!

Turtle Mania was massive. In every store window, on every high street would be Turtles merchandise, shop keepers praying and rubbing their hands waiting for whiney kids to nag their parents to buy, posters, toys, pencil cases or colouring books. My parents would avoid taking me past such places for obvious reasons.
I could only dream of the day when I'd finally work for a place that sold such things - Backpacks, T-shirts, Loungepants,Socks and Mugs; I'm wearing my Turtles Boxers Shortsright now!

Guest Post: Going the Distance with Rocky & TruffleShuffle
As you know Iâm a guest blogger on TruffleShuffle.co.uk and it is one of my favourite things about being a blogger. I have so much love for them!
Now the majority of their t-shirts excite me but when I heard they had some new Rocky t-shirts in, man I could not contain my excitement. I absolutely love the Rocky films having grown up watching them. Balboa is a total legend. Before I became a guest blogger for TruffleShuffle, I actually got in touch with them on Facebook asking them to get some Rocky tees in for ladies, a request which was heard. The tee was of the iconic âItalian Stallionâ logo and was given to me as a birthday present by our Steph :)
But one Rocky tee just wasn't going to be enough for meâ¦
The lovely guys at TruffleShuffle knew about my Balboa love and offered to send me the TWO (not one but two!) Rocky t-shirts. Have I told you how much I love them? I was grinning like a Cheshire cat for days! The tees have arrived at a perfect time as Iâm currently on a health kick and have been taking inspiration from the Rocky films. Yes you heard right.
Now I donât have my own Mickey calling me a lousy bum and spurring me on so I went to the next best thing: my iPod. Armed with the Rocky soundtrack I have started my own fitness regime. Gone are the days of âGet Fit or Die Tryingâ (our university regime), its all about âGoing the Distance with Rocky Balboaâ. And so far so good!
