I just hope, neither “Pop” back up.
heh - your scribblin was never natural spits!! -= that’s wot we liked about it - all crazies together in the same cage!!
An ode to the intrepid explorer - wife on the left arm!! [the original spitfire - bang bang fizzle fizzle - droop droop??]
He’s got his mobility liscence
he’s chargin his gas for the moon
his sizzlers are ready to fry when he’s ready
and the cow will jumpin over soon?
He’s warned us he may be away for sometime?
Sounds utterly utterly sublime
he didn’t mention no heating
but will he be doin much sleepin
as he watches cow jump over the moon??
If ya come across Jem old fella give him all our regards and ask him to send us some spirits occasionally??

??? wot ya been tellin us on the other thread ya not old yet?? ya got to be one or the other or maybe a manic /depressive??
well there I was sittin in me old 2 up and 2 down ; gettaround town thingy when I had to decided wot to do with mesself for the evening - ya know it was one of those mozzie laden sticky hot moments hovering around 36C in the shade so decided to just have a evenin in and watch a movie or two? missus was doin her ironing and whistle her merry tunes but I had to stop her it interfers with the cable connections and antenna qualities?
put on Sirocco again humphrey bogart and friends /black and white Syria with its catecombs and chinese exploding fireworks - god a man can’t get a decent haircut in that film without someone throwin one in at ya! - but Humphie never lets ya down and then of course then there is a stern Lee J Cobb and sultry Marta toren - so nice to NOT see any squishy squashy bedroom scenes don’t ya fink they just get so mushy! and then a new one for me later:
Queen of the Desert with the lovely aussie actress Nicole Kidman who wouldn’t say boo to a goose saying so to several would be suitors so once again no more bedroom scenes - I wonder whether Jem would approve or not? the desert scenes were something to die for and many did!! but a very evocative film I thought that brought you much closer to wot makes the desert captures ones mind and will - interesting freudian exploration!! - happy 4Xdrivin and may your films never run dry!! - must go and feed the dawg he is howling like a twirling dervisher!!
That’s a bit of a “Victorian” attitude!!!
that wasn’t my hat it chewed it was her hat it chewed - bloody dog always chewing hats!

I’ve often thought the edict, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it should apply to remakes of old fillums.
Sometimes I watch a film and think, well it was okay, but that’s all it was, then some time later I watch the original, and realise how mediocre the newer versions are.
Even some of the old black and white versions were good, and then you see something shot in Cinemascope or Glorious Technicolour, literally with a cast of thousands instead of CGI, and it makes you think, Wow!
You might even find a half decent film such as The Eagle has landed, and think it’s pretty good. Then you see “Went the day well,” filmed during WW2 using real soldiers, and actors who went on to become internationally famous. Grit, realistic, and totally believable, yet predating the similar plot in the later film by 35 years or so.
Yes it’s a good one.Unexpected violence in a small country town.And a young Thora Hird.

now her was an interesting film I cam across recently The Bargee - with eric sykes ; harry corbett and benny hill to name a few - funny in parts and a bi -op of life in the 50’s maybe and a slant on young women getting pregnant out of wedlock - simple british comedy that no longer fits the bill??
are we in 2024 or early on here atm?
Hi. RJ’s daughter here, just found this forum and reading dad’s posts. Can practically hear his voice. As you probably guessed he died suddenly on 6th June 2019, heart attack in the garden like the Godfather. He would have liked that. Especially with the spitfire flypast going on at the time. Nurse Gillian was with him and we like to think he is up there with aunt phythian, uncle Vivian and the 2 old ladies from the pet shop.
Thankyou for being such good chums to him.

edited out, missing post, no context.
Spitfire, my post was moved. I’m not very good at navigating sites but hopefully you’ve seen the one about RJ, best wishes
I noticed, straight after, RJ was the only one to call me delusional, I am eternally thankful 
Delusional? Looks like you all meant a lot to him, thankyou
