    The only thing that’s spoils the whole show is that stupid Irish git doing the voice overs..the man should,ve been drowned at birth

    Do you sit up all night and watch the show in OZ then, proves dedication to the cause.
    I know you like a good wind up, but I bet even you didn’t tune in to listen to Terry this morning, he’s probably as much of a staid old b##### like you in reality, but I’m afraid he is a much loved ‘Irish Git’ over here, he is one of those few people who can reduce me to laughing so much, that I have to pull over to the kerb, he seems to have the ability to reach out to anybody with his unsubtle comments, from my 14 year old youth, who only watched the programme for Wogans snide comments, to old gits like me.
    Leave the man alone, he deserves his place in the sphere of things.

    I take it you hate the first three Star Wars movies as well?

    Let us add ‘Blade Runner’ to the list as well, possibly my favourite Sci-Fi movie, perhaps Mr Rowell is a Replicant and is frightened of the consequences.

    Not a great dog lover i’m afraid..they just seem to lay around and turn expensive steak into sh*t..hang on.. come to think of it..i’ve got a Mother-in-law like that

    Don’t forget that Tony Bennett does the same thing.

    Lovely dog, that breed is next on the list when our horrors, Jack Russell and Springer Spaniel finally depart and put us out of our misery.
    Horrible thing to say, but they are such nuisances.
    The trouble with having a dog is that they become so much part of your life that the consideration of your pals departing this planet is an awful thought. Ours are getting on a bit now, yes they are a pain and rule our lives, but the the thought of being without them is a terrible thing, the gits are lurking to go out now, the weather is foul and I have things to do, but they are pleading against the door, it could be a short walk, I hate them when it’s like this, but rest assured, we’ll no doubt be all curled up together on the settee later.
    Bloody dogs, who invented them.

    The Madingley ceremony is on the Bank Holiday Monday and this morning we had the KC-135 (see below) and 3x F-15s flying circles around St Ives, Cambs, waiting for the fly past but from other Forums there is no mention of the B-25. Mind you it was chucking it down with rain at the time when the jets were flying around.

    Brian

    It must have been acting as a stand in for Sally-B then.
    Anyway, lets hope it went off OK, and let us spare a thought for our US collegues, that flyby certainly made you think of the realities of the past.

    Why heading for Duxford Pete?. If it’s the Duke of Brabants, surely it would head back home to the continent. I haven’t heard of ‘Grumpy’ arriving back at DX yet.

    Any way I’m off to Duxford tomorrow so I’ll have a look see.:D

    Brian

    He was heading north, then from what I could see through the murk swung left towards DX, it’s the usual route from here. I know, I told madam it may have been that particular B-25, perhaps he was following weather systems and took a devious route, or maybe he’s gone off for a deserved party and a few beers.
    I thought Madingley was yesterday by the way.
    Sorry Nashio, I always keep the cameras lurking, but this was one of those jaw on chest moments where you tend to freeze up.

    Not Bennett and Bubble again, how can you possibly say that Bubble sounds like a young Frank, he isn’t in the same league, he’s just a sad copy like so many of them, don’t forget Frank was there first. There are so many of these fourth rate crooners about, but I know, people love it, it’s always the grinning sad little young git with slicked back hair and a mohair suit who thinks he’s cool with his impression of ‘Swing’ that wows the voters in all our insufferable UK TV ‘Talent’ contests.
    As for Bennett:- listen to a track from ‘The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band’ from 40 years ago called ‘Look at me, I’m Wonderful’. you’ll appreciate what I’m trying to say, Oh, I once saw Legs Larry Smith do this live and he wasn’t wearing a rug either, nor a false nose.

    I was amazed to see a report on the airshow on both our Anglian TV News progs showing an attendance of 100,000 people and what appeared to be a pretty full flying programme, there was even blue sky during the Reds performance.
    I’m only 30 miles away but it never stopped raining here all day and night and continues to do so, coupled with extremely high winds. It was so bad that we had a power cut during the late morning yesterday, when I phoned the power company they told me that they were struggling to maintain supplies because of the adverse weather conditions.
    We heard what we assumed to be the Cat returning to DX at about 16:00, we were feeling sorry for them, it was low cloud and driving rain, we couldn’t even see it.
    They must have a special micro climate in the Thames Estuary I reckon.
    The organiser of the show appeared on the news and was confident that conditions would be OK today as well.
    Good for them, not the dismal day we were predicting yesterday, will it be the same today I wonder, lets hope so, but what do you do, at the moment it’s just appalling here.
    Did anybody go, unusually no pics or comments from our Southend pals, whats it like there at the moment.

    I remember the show well, it became quite a cult thing in the late 60’s, we all loved it at the time.
    Unfortunately, it hasn’t aged well, look at some of the sketches now and they are cringeingly embarresing.
    I just looked for his obituary on Google and ended up reading about ‘The Laugh In’ on Wiki, it lists many of those good old catch phrases we used to mutter around school at the time, makes you wonder how we thought it was funny, especially when you compare it to the contemporary ‘Monty Python’, which was just getting in its stride as ‘Laugh In’ was losing popularity.
    Still, the show gave us Goldie Hawn, who still looks good 40 years on, without the aid of plastic surgery by the way.

    Timothy Taylors Landlord is the finest ale in the world IMO.

    Reading that made my morning, I thought I was the only one who thought the same, well not quite, I gather it’s also Madonnas favourite beer, she caused a sensation at the Brewery in Keighley after she announced the fact on a TV chat show. They had to double the production overnight as all the kids in the area dumped the Stella/Becks crap and started demanding Landlord. I gather that Timothy Taylors sent her a cratefull and a thank you for the best free publicity they could possibly get.
    Try a pub crawl round Keighley, TT own most of the pubs, better hurry though before the local religous radicals get the place shut down.
