......aged 67, after battling dementia for several years. Apparently, at the height of his fame, he had more fan club members than Elvis Presley ! I certainly remember every 12 girl being hopelessly in love with him !
-
It's the lack of sound that I enjoy most !
-
I don't like them putting their fingers all over the food. And I don't like the Ramsay-type histrionics. And it's a lot of kerfuffle to get your dinner.........and when it finally arrives, it's a kids portion !
-
My grandad had that to his dying day ! TV and radio on one unit.........years ahead of it's time, when you think about !
-
Our first VHS (a top loader, no less !) had a remote control unit........connected via a long lead to the front of the recorder !
-
Or the one with the loudest shirt ?
-
3 channels, no programmes after midnight, no breakfast telly.............and BBC had a couple of hours of test card each afternoon ! Our TV had a sophisticated remote control - it involved my dad elbowing me and saying "Put three on !". They don't know they're born these days.
-
Remember the good old days ? Missed an episode ? Tough ! (And you'll have to wait til next week for the next installment !)
-
Thank God she's OK, mate. I hope there's no lasting effects.
-
There's nothing wrong with my figure ! I try to stay in shape........... round is a shape !
-
That's my dinner ruined...........
-
I know an old fella who comes from there. Someone once asked him what Zimbabwe was like. He visibly bristled and, through gritted teeth, said "I am Rhodesian !".......... He told me that the country got its name because there's "Zero Industry, Mainly Because All Bloody Whites Emigrated".
-
Oh dear, there there, never mind........
-
You say that as if it's a good thing !
-
Innit !
-
Actually, we're looking at different mistakes...... It should read "...... they're thick, so their kids will be."
-
(And get a like button, for gods sake !)
-
No capitalisation at the start of sentences........lack of punctuation..........and, in this context, it should be "they're", not "there"............ And you're calling some of our kids thick ! Twat.
-
You can't shoot geese with an air rifle and, even if you could, 70 yards is "ambitious" for a kill shot, to say the least...............don't try it ,mate. Case in point - I was on a game shoot yesterday, and I had to let a couple of Canada's fly no more than 25 yards over my head as I was "only" shooting 27g loads through my shotgun !
-
Anyone remember the old joke.... How many people work for British Rail ? About half of them !
-
Some here are getting ideas above their station......just looking for a platform to let off some steam, and I reckon they need a Rocket putting up 'em - they shunt do it ! Can't see the at-traction myself, but I don't want to take sidings...........that's the ticket ! (Coat, please !)
-
Welcome, from a fellow Nottingham lad !
-
Bright colours, catchy ditties, an endless stream of bollox.......that's TV in general - the new opium of the masses ! And too many worship the thing that enslaves them........how many of us have a telly on for hours on end, when nobody's watching it ? Do civilisation a favour and be the one who switches it off, but not the one who switches it on !
-
Somebody's found my ferret !
-
The only difficulty I have is in having hands like a pound of sausages !
