I had a 1975 Jaguar XJ6, appropriately colored lemon yellow. If my memory serves me, it was carbureted with 2 Strombergs. This car had an orgasm almost every time I shut it off. The car would have a brief moment of silence after I shut it off, which would lull me into the false sense that it...

My first flight was in September of 1974 from Boston to Bangor Maine on Delta, then a puddle jumper to Bucksport Maine, to visit a paper mill on business. When I got back, I honestly filled out my expense report to the penny and submitted it. My bosses' boss tossed it back on my desk and asked...

I just finished SOAH and my opinion still stands. If you look at Roy Clarke's writing career, SOAH was not only his last significant effort, it was probably the only single writing project he had to focus on at the time. After all of the wife bashing that took place in LOTSW, to end SOAH with...

You are right!! I worked with a fellow named John Glanville and the spelling got stuck in the woolen mills of my mind. It will teach me not to type so late at night! :29:

Being from America, prior to OAH, I never had any exposure to Ronnie Barker or to David Jason. I prefer SOAH. Ronnie Barker's stutter was OK, but he was no Mel Tillis or Michael Palin. Think about Michael Palin in 'A Fish Called Wanda' when he achieved the ultimate pinnacle of a stutter...

My condolences to you and your family AH2.

Exercise bicycles make great clothes horses!

Get an air fryer, it is much healthier!

There was the Polish fellow with all the "Zeds" in his name, affectionately referred to as "Cuddlychops Whatsit".

In 'The Glory Hole' Compo sang a fine old hymn "There was a man, He had a Wife and she was double jointed...."

This was the consummate Compo song and turn!!! Marching, while wearing and playing a one man band, singing a song about Nora and finishing with a crash and burn down the stairs!!! What could top that???

Sorry for the confusion Barrychuckle, my bad. I meant the Shirley Stelfox Rose or the Mary Millar Rose. I think Shirley Stelfox was quicker at changing persona from Sister to Predator when the occasion arose. Also, Daisy was much faster on the uptake of such changes than she was with the Mary...

How about the pianist in 'Ordeal by Trousers', nice smile, animated, upbeat and easy on the eyes? Nothing in common with the others.

"I'm Going to Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter" in 'Ordeal by Trousers'

Which Rose?

Compo did a little song and dance "Put me amongst the girls" around his crudely fashioned pole in 'Pole Star', prior to pole vaulting onto the wall in front of the battleaxe brigade (Nora, Ivy and Pearl).

Fabulous picture! Why are Peter and Michael's pants rolled up, yet Billl is still in his wellys?" perhaps ready for a flood?

Michael Aldrich also smoked a pipe in 'Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy'

I believe I saw Wesley light one up in 'Happy Anniversary Gough and Jesse'. Wikipedia reports out that Jane Freeman died of lung cancer.

You are right. I just had lunch (cup of soup, 1/2 sandwich and a cup of coffee) at a local's place on Cape Cod, came to $24 to settle up.
