Reading through sales offers quickly I saw this and started screeching like Peewee Marquette.."how about a big hand...?"

No wonder it's being sold at discount. It only cover five of the seven signs of ageing.

As yorkie says, some posts may have been deleted, and while I'm not up-to-date with everybody's situations, I'd like to offer positive vibes for anybody that needs them.

Well, five is better than none, and I can see the point in volumising for people who don't swell like me! But it just seemed so funny.

Roast potato gate entered its second day today, albeit things weren't quite as extreme...

Drove home in filthy weather where the new car proved there are some advantages to wasting money on a 4x4. I think I am coming down with the norovirus now (either that or I ate too many roast potatoes). Bleurgh.

Hope it is just a surfeit of spuds, chewie, but if it's not then at least you're now at home and don't have to travel with the lurgy - get well soon.

My godmother [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] was due to travel from Scotland to London by train tomorrow, and has got a stinking cold. I've just seen that all East Coast trains are cancelled, which might be for the best in one way, but means that she doesn't get to join her other adult child when planned.

Would the old car have coped any less well with the weather?

Burglar alarm just went off on the external sensor which is quite scary despite the fort Knox burglar bars so we called the alarm company who got someone here within 3 minutes.

They've rolled out Morcambe and Wise. Again.

At what what point do we get re-runs of the Smell of Reeves and Mortimer instead?

Both acts and shows are really funny. I don't however, get why it's so side-splitting to see Angela Rippon's legs again and again. Actually Morecambe and Wise was only worth watching for the comedy. The musical stuff they do is wasted on me.:p

Reeves and Mortimer are totally a class act. The Big Night Out was one of the best shows on the telly.:beer:

Just taken my dog for his evening constitutional. It's drizzling down endlessly here. He smells of damp dog, but he's smelt of much worse, so I can't complain.;)

Both comedy duos are among those where my non Brit comes to the fore. I can see why people find it amusing. I just do not find it so.

I think that M&W are increasingly aging badly like Max Wall or something. Was funny. Now? Not so much.

They come from a branch of British comedy based on catch-phrases. I often wondered how well it travels.:o

The shows that travel abroad seems to be mostly slapstick (Benny Hill/Norman Wisdom.Harry Worth/Mr Bean) or surreal/ridiculous (Monty Python/BlackAdder). Do any of those appeal?

Max Wall? Inspired Monty Python's silly walks but they improved it.:D
Some of the M&W dialogue was really well-written. I don't think you can repeat comedy too regularly or the surprise at the punchlines are dulled.

I think I've just killed comedy by analysing it to death.:eek:
