APPRECIATION :!:

I agree with you Lancsman..that was a classic Dad’s Army..it never fails to make me laugh.

I also loved The Goodies..[okay..I fancied Bill Oddie] and of course..Monty Python.

Does anyone remember Follyfoot or The Ace Of Wands? how about Quatermass And The Pit? They don’t make ’em like that anymore :(

Owen..just tried to get Zappa’s City Of Tiny Lights..and the buggers have removed it..blimey..it’s not as if Frankie-boy was ever controversial :shock:

Best ever music video..does Shostakovitch’s Lady MacBeth of Mtstensk… featuring Christopher Ventris in the scud… count?

Nine out of ten to Guff and Fats for very nearly being correct. But sorry to disappoint..Esme lives on. And Tommy..I think I last saw your old nag outside the Last Chance Saloon :wink:

No..because I had a terrible night..and I feel like death..and it frightens me

Tadpole..just cuddle your wee one..and don’t get yourself worked up..although I can understand your anger. You’re blessed to have your lovely family..and that’s all that matters. These boards are insignificant compared to the things that are important to you..and I know you’ll remember that as you gaze down on the wee one peaceflully sleeping. All…[Read more]

Galaxy….I agree with the famous quote from Shirley Conran..”Life’s too short to stuff a mushroom.”

It was always the pile of dishes and pans needing washing that put me off cooking..but I became very proficient at anything that could all be made in the one pot..even things that weren’t supposed to be. And my tuna pasta was legendary..I would…[Read more]

Fasty…I wouldn’t freeze ANYTHING twice..and even with bread..the second freezing won’t kill off the bacteria. Mind you..I’m a bit funny with me bread..won’t eat it if it’s not completely fresh..the birds in our garden get more of my loaf than I do. I don’t think I’ve recovered from a breakfast I got in a B&B a few years back…when I’d eaten my…[Read more]

From WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND when all the village children come marching to visit ‘Jesus’ [actually an escaped convict] hiding in a barn. So poignant..I’ve seen this film so often I know it off by heart..but I don’t think I’ll ever tire of it..and anyway..I always fancied actor Alan Bates…hence my other favourite scene from a movie..

From FAR…[Read more]

James…thanks…I’ve been murdering Steve Winwood..I’m completely hoarse..and so everyone’s happy :lol: :lol:

Owen and James…I’ve just passed a wonderful morning with Peter Gabriel and Neil Young with a bit of Ian Dury and some Skynyrd….courtesy of this thread and your wonderful finds. My hubby plugged speakers into my laptop so I’ve been rattling the windows and raising the roof…I was even word-perfect as I sang along to When You Dance..and I…[Read more]

Sh/i/te…I cannae count…I meant EIGHT of the duplicitous barstards :oops:

B@gger…12 out of twenty :shock: Really surprised me I got so taken in by ten of the lying swine :? :oops:

James sums it succinctly :)

Let’s not forget the marvellous Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young Gifted And Black…aka The Rutles :lol:

Ah..James..those good ole boys. Then came Phoenix Rising..till it went again :?

Thanks Owen..and what a wonderful secret it is. I’m going to watch Hurricane and Don’t let it Bring You Down later. Annie Lennox managed to do that one to death a while back..silly moo :lol:

Brilliant Owen..how do you guys manage to get all this stuff? Neil Young’s Tell Me Why was always my party piece on the guitar..in fact anything off After The Goldrush. 8)

Rubes..I stank too much of dead goat [my afghan coat] for anyone to notice..that and pachouli oil :lol:

Funnily enough Sharon..we have opposing heaven and hells :lol:

Food Heaven..I LOVE parsnips..and overdosed on them.. roasted.. today for lunch

Food Hell…Garlic in any shape or form. I hate the smell..I hate the taste….my bro’s ex used to live on hot garlic bread and stank the house out. Aaargh. Maybe I’m a true vampire :shock:

As I skipped over previously..my first album was The Best Of The Move…Blackberry way is still one of my favourite toons. As I was a skint schoolgirl..this is how I acquired the said L.P. : My mum had sent me to do the shopping..my friend sneaked a half pound of corned-beef through the checkout..I deducted it from the total of the shopping and…[Read more]
