Dancing Mickey Mouse

[spudqueen]

Whilst on holiday in Italy this summer we visited a market and saw a cut out plastic Mickey Mouse dancing between two speakers. We bought one but having tried it at home it doesn't work. Were we conned? Or can we get it to dance? Anyone know?

con, sorry! if it's any consolation, I bought a couple about 10 years ago.

Micky went to the Divorce Court to file against Minnie.

The Judge concludes: "I can't give you a divorce from Minnie, Mickey, just on the grounds that she had buck teeth."

"Who said that she has buck teeth? She has been effing Goofy."

lol.. I can't even remember what country we were in! it was around the time I married (20 years ago), and I don't think they even came back to the UK with us :o)

I think it was probably Italy.

spudqueen, I'm going out there at the end of the month, if you want me to return them :o)

Dancing and a mouse! In Italy!

I waould have thought a topo gigio would have been more likely over there.

Thank you all for your answers. Mr Spudqueen is quite disappointed that it involves a string and a motor

He only knows how they look because he has loads of them. The plank fell for it every time...

Honestly...every time he went to Italy he bought one thinking the last one was faulty.
