Better, in some ways, than using the kitchen as a toilet I suppose.

The Odeon cinema in Worcester, Worcestershire opened in 1935.

It's still open today.

This Stick-Around ALF doll by Coleco hasn't been stuck anywhere as he's still in the box.

It's funny seeing Coleco toys as I still always associate the brand with videogames (even though they also produced Cabbage Patch Dolls).

Graffiti Golf in Blackpool, Lancashire, England.

This was the first - and to date - only indoor pirate and graffiti-themed glow-in-the-dark adventure golf course we've played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The course had previously been a 'normal' indoor pirate-themed course, before the new owners turned it into a UV graffiti covered course.

Waiting for a train at Windermere, Cumbria, England.

There are new plans to redevelop the station to make it more welcoming as the entryway to the Lake District.

I've not used this - and not sure how well an ALF cake would turn out tbh!

A fine entry in the Ghostbusters canon.

Hole 1 of the crazy golf course at White Platts Recreation Ground in Ambleside, Cumbria, England.

Visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in 2023. Originally played in 2012.

There's also a Pitch N Putt course in the park.

This was the Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Exmouth, Devon, England in June 2015.

It was a 10-hole course, with a lucky 11th hole where you could win a free game if you rang the bell with your shot.

Unfortunately the course was demolished in 2016.

The first Arnold Palmer Putting Course in the UK opened in Coventry in 1965 and was part of an Arnold Palmer Driving Range. A course was also located at a Driving Range in Sheffield.

Luckily you can still find playable examples of Arnold Palmer Putting Courses - in varying conditions and some with modifications - in the UK.

Here's ALF on the back cover of a Marvel Madballs comic (UK version) from 1988.

Do you still have Toys R Us stickers on any of your old videogames?

I remember the videogame wall at Toys R Us back in the 80s and 90s where you looked at photos of the front and back of the case and then had to take a paper note from a pouch to purchase the game.

It was similar in the year 2000 when I worked in the Teentronics section, although by then there were also some cases and boxes with security tags that you could add to your basket or trolley, rather than taking the paper to the till and then waiting to collect the actual game at another desk after you'd paid for it.

Toys R Us at the Wyvern Retail Park in Derby, England.

Photographed in November 2020.

It's now a GO Outdoors store.

The crazy golf course at Woburn Sands Emporium in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England.

Played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in 2023.

ALF Hides Out - Isn't that his entire story while on Earth!

A nice book and attached bookmark.

Speed on LaserDisc - another classic.

The Liverpool Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool, England.

Opened in June 1939.

Photographed in September 2016.

Two ALF VHS tapes - one for the animated series and another for the main TV show.

I've got the DVD sets, but there's something fun about watching ALF on video.

A crazy golf postcard from Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae, Scotland

This postcard shows 'Crazy Golf, Millport, Isle of Cumbrae' and is a Valentine's "Silveresque" 3059V Style Postcard, published by Valentine & Sons Ltd. Dundee and London.

It was postally used at 4.15pm on the 4th June 1964 and mailed from Millport itself.

The crazy golf course is still there - and still recognisable today!

We played the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in 2014.

Quite possibly one of the best films of all time.

I've lost count of how many times I've watched it.
