Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds

What do they mean when they say FAB ?

Is it something meaning like Roger & Out ... ... ... or ... ... ... maybe Wil'Co'

I watched the original puppet Thunderbirds as a kid ... ... ... then, my own son watched it ... ... ... still have Tracey Island & the box it came in ... ... ... & ... ... ... some comics my son had

If memory serves @Toby has an interest in comics, he stated in his own Spotlight feature

Sooooo next time my son  rings me I'm going to end the phone call with FAB ... ... ... & ... ... ... see if it gets a responsive chuckle

There was a young man from Leeds

Who swallowed a packet of seeds

A ruddy great lily grew out of his bleep

& out of his bleep grew weeds

According to Gerry Anderson himself, FAB had no particular meaning. It was just a very popular word at the time though he did make reference to the fab four, the Beatles. ....

Michaelangelo (Orange bandana)

Leonardo (Blue bandana)

Donatello (Purple bandana)

Must get the habit of 'Google is my Friend' ... ... ... its just sooooo confusing  tho' ... = ... too many sites to look at, & which one is the definitive site with the best/ true info on ?

So I have a furry / plush Michaelangelo

The more you use Google the easier it becomes Jane. For instance to answer your question I did this...

* Log into google

* In the search bar it provides I typed the question ('Which ninja turtle wore an orange bandana?)

* Press enter and the answers appear before you

It really was quite quick...and also gave me the picture I posted....

So yes....you have a furry Michaelangelo....
