ANNOYING BofB FILM QUOTERS, UNITE!
This thread is for us saddos to have a laugh and to test how good we are at remembering the lines from the film.
This is how it works. someone starts a thread simply by quoting a line from the film. Nothing more, nothing less. The first person to reply says the next line only (with a description if you want of what else is going on, e.g. “poor quality sounding bomb explosion”). The person replying after that says the next line, and so on, until the narrative sequence is exhauseted.
Of course, if you get a big sequence, it’s going to be a long thread. If anyone get’s it a bit wrong, we can digest it after someone calls endex, and have a laugh over bits that we’ve noticed about that particular sequence.
so, for example, the thread could run like this (Lancman, Munnst & A330 Crazy, hope you don’t mind me borrowing your callsigns for this one):
Seafuryfan: (Red very fired, Spitfire overshoots with gear up)
Lancman: “boomps a daisy…….it’s enough to make you weep….”
Munnst: (Spitfire taxies in and shuts down, pilot climbs out)
A330 Crazy: “And welcome home sir…..undercarriage lever a bit sticky was it sir?”
And so on. Only use one line per reply, and finish the thread when it is naturally exhausted. Ready? Here we go….
“Well yes, as a matter of fact it was!”

RE: Calling all Battle of Britain Nuts
LOL! There’s no way I could remember the TRANSLATIONS of the German script. I laughed hard at that one!
Did you know that the terrestrially sceeened B of B only translated some of the German. It did not bother with dogfight sequences. fortunately, the video release translated all German, for example:
“Tomato Heinz formation, Tomato Heinz formation”
“Convoys” – yep, except I think the reply is:
“(pause, 2,3,)none due through……until tonight sir”
I’m in the RAF and you ALWAYS find one or two blokes on a Squadron who know the lines. But that stumped them. So top marks fella!
How about this?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-10-02 AT 04:40 PM (GMT)]“Convoys?”
I think is “none due through till tonight”
“Dover”
Depends if it’s the first Dover or second I think the conversation goes like this……
1st German officer “Dover?”
2nd German officer “Dover”
1st German officer ( in my best German accent) “ these masts ….radio direction finders”
Then another German says “England’s secret weapon”
Anyone know what comes next……
I do.
Very sad Dezz

RE: Calling all
OK, try this one…. I’ve only met one mate who has answered this one correctly first time:
“Convoys?”

RE: Calling all
OK,well it looks like I’m about the saddest person here.I’ve been reading through the previous posts and spotting various mistakes. For instance,Simon has 10 hours on Spits,not six.I’m afraid to say I could go on!
“Corporal!Where are you taking those vultures?!”
“Officers to the Mess,NCO’s to the Guardroom Sir.”
“Like hell you are,they’re responsible for all this,get em to clear it up!!”
“But what about the Officers Sir?”
“Give ’em a bloody shovel!!”
Polish pilot:”Goodt..afternoon.”
Farmer with pitchfork:”Good afternoon my ar*e!!You Boche b*stard,put yer hands up!Come on,get going!Left,right,left…”

You poms are a worry…(I’m sure that was in the film somewhere.)

RE: Calling all
I’m not sad.
I don’t quote great chunks from the BoB film.
It is purely coincidence that the more vocal of my domestic cats is called Mr Warwick. So I really have to keep shouting
“DON’T YOU YELL AT ME, MR WARWICK!”
Nothing at all to do with any movie.
And there’s no particular reason that the other cat is called Harvey.
All for now, Moggy.
