Yes I agree Surfer, in my excitement I don’t think I understood the question…I’ll get me coat…
Glad to have made you laugh.
Of course, all my children and grandchildren are adults but even so, I still feel uncomfortable if we’re watching a film and a sex scene happens. Quite hard to find family films to watch sometimes.
Double post, Mart. Sorry about that - but I agree!
Couldn’t Agree More. “F***” As an expletive. Almost a Comma or Full Stop, to almost every sentence theses days. Has become endemic.
As one, once familiar with appropriate Bosun Speak.
To hear Intelligent Teenybopper Grands using it. And when challenged. With innocence. Question Why. Absolutely Appalling & Discrediting.
Or you could just find a good movie to watch .
Hard to find a good movie without gratuitous violence, sex or sloppy love scenes Surfer…
It turns out that most of the good ones were made in Yorkshire…
The Full Monty, Brassed Off, Kes, Billy Elliot, Little Voice etc…
Swear-Off
of the Century
(1 minute trailer)
Fuck, it’s been censured, you might have to click on “Watch On YouTube”
You’ve given me a good list…
Here are a few that come to mind:
Antartica: A Year on Ice (documentary)
Bottle Shock
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
October Sky
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (Mrs. OGF will love)
Tortilla soup (very good California rom com for grownups)
Tombstone
The Martian
My Octopus Teacher (documentary)
180 Degrees South (documentary)
Local Hero - still among the best
Local hero, yes of course the couple who owned the inn!
A terrific film all round
Two of my all time favourite film there Surfermom…
Tombstone and Local Hero…
Back in 2000 we drove up to Scotland for my 50th birthday. Didn’t book anywhere to stay (except one night) and just wandered around taking in the beautiful sights in glorious weather. First night we found a nice little B&B in Oban. Mrs Fox was insistent that we drove to Arisaig (some of the scenes from Local Hero were filmed there) She had secretly booked us in to the posh Arisaig hotel… Where we stayed for just one night…All the time we toured Scotland the theme to Local Hero by the brilliant Mark Knopfler rang out from the cassette player. It has become ‘Our Film’…
We left Arisaig the next morning and drove to Mallaig and watched the Isle of Skye Ferry docking…Couldn’t resist a trip over to Skye on the ferry…It was so beautiful we spent the next week there in another little B&B on the harbour side at Portree. Early morning solo runs and daily walks with Mrs Fox, including the ‘Old Man Of Storr’…
Mrs Fox taking a rest…
Eeeee ‘BUY’ Gum Lad. You mean to say. You’ve not flown >>
Laffin All the way >> Leeds Bradford Airport.
Looks good QES…
I seen that movie last night. I thought the Irish woman was humorous the way she talked.
The one writing the letters reminded me of the two different preachers daughters I dated in high school. The two things I learned from dating them is, they get wild when they are not under supervision and your going to get in trouble.
What an amazing Scotland adventure you had, OGF! Vacationing was so much better when we could just wander without pre-planning to the last detail. It sounds like the two of you did it just right.
One of these days…
Lol lol she makes me roar, i love the old girl….
Shes nearly as good as catherine Tate Lol
I’m surprised to hear that anyone from our generation, (growing up in the 60s and 70s) are shocked or embarrassed by anything, weren’t we the ones who invented it all?
Neither my mother in her eighties, or my kids, 30/40s are remotely uncomfortable when we watch these movies with a lot of sex/ swearing in together,
