I had the old and new version of the original Funfax, the spy one pictured above, a school one (possibly, may be imagining this one), and a fat encyclopedia one. Think I've kept the encyclopedia one, may look for it later.

I'm sure I have mine somewhere. Funfaxes were amazing back in primary school, everyone who was anyone had a Funfax. I had a few files for it, the cartoon drawing one and the one for learning German being my favourites.

 

Great thread! :grin:

I had a ton of them...

 

Had the original one and soon filled the spaces at the back of that, so had to get like this blue foldered expansion pack...

 

Mine is in the the loft somewhere I will buggered if I can find it though.

 

I remember my mum only ever used to let me buy the more educational ones, the factual ones and not the more creative ones...so I used to go out with my dad and get the others, remember I had a how to magic tricks and a myths and creatures one.

 

Do they still make them new?

I didn't have the normal Funfax, but I had the Spy File and the SAS [survive at School] one.

 

I can still remember the rap in the SAS one.

Time for some Fun Fax jokes it has different sections I'll give you a few. :p Get ready to groan.

 

Musical madness:

 

Teacher: Why did Tchaikovksy write this piece in four flats?

 

Pupil: he had to move house 3 times while he was composing it.

 

Cops and Robbers:

Which fish wears a cowboy hat and two guns?

 

Billy the Squid

 

Rotten Rhymes:

 

There;s a peanut sitting on the railway track, his heart is all a flutter.

 

The train comes roaring round the bend TOOT TOOT peanut butter!

Im exagerating, of course, but you really look like me...

 

There are some differences between us (the main is the Hair, my hair is completely crazy, i have it in a pose so that i look like im a protagonist from some weird Anime...), but the main structure is equal between us...
