Been out to see Nearly Dan a Steely Dan tribute act so missed the Last night of the Proms so will be watching on catch up.

Its not the chuffing Pole Compo's wife ran off with is it :tw::fp:

I think its the washing line , discoloured by the weather and grime , that Gordon Stackpole returned and got his money back Arkwright put it there as a sort of tribute to the only person who he gave a refund to and perhaps as a warning to other that he'd done it once and once only with no chance...

IF you search the threads , there are still members on here who cannot bring themselves to watch those episodes because they are so emotional which is testimony to the compassionate way Roy Clarke handled Bill's passing, the episodes are a mix of pathos and humour handled beautifully by all who...

I have just seen the story on BBC Breakfast , it is an epic piece of sculpture up there with the Angel of the North . One of the Project people was saying its volunteer funding , the construction team haven't been fully paid yet so their goodwill has played a huge part in getting it to this...

U & Gold are getting to be more adventurous , not personally for the best always . Months ago I booked two tickets to see the Fawlty Towers play at the Theatre Royal Newcastle at the cost of £80 only to now find U & Gold have secured broadcasting it this month :mad: . I cannot not watch it and...

Granville: It's been a busy day when you've been out that shop bell has never stopped mostly it was you coming back to check up on me. Arkwright: Where was it you wanted to go on our Honeymoon Nurse: Tahiti Arkwright: So you want to go on the water then I was thinking about water too how about...

Far better likeness for all three.

I would definitely continue may as well see the show through to its conclusion before it was cancelled , Russ Abbot simply plays himself from the time when he was a huge success with his TV series a bit like Smiler who was Blakey reincarnated . The ludicrous plot of him being a spy is gleaned I...

I was lucky I suppose started on pager so if any issues had to run around looking for a working payphone initially cash then card but eventually got an early Nokia phone as I was on call for initially mainframe operating system support and then network Company covered the costs so I never ever...

I feel for Doug Naylor all that effort , writing most of what was asked of him only for some numbskull no mark from U and Dave to turn around and say thanks but we are changing direction and we won't be making this type of show any more . It's just not cricket is the polite way of saying what...

I feel for the writers clearly they have expended a lot of effort and had written a lot of material , I read that Doug Naylor had signed a contract so he will get paid for his efforts thus far but I wouldn't imagine Craig, Chris, Danny and Robert had signed anything so won't receive anything ...
