Fair enough. But Merlins dragon wearing a digital watch is just wrong...

*Peers out through rain-streaked French windows across to the swimming pool. Observes Soviet nuclear submarine surfacing in pool and Sean Connery emerging dressed in Soviet naval uniform, speaking Russian in a Scots accent (with sub titles). Shakes head, puts down absinthe and reaches for carrot juice instead*

Sean Connery, not MacGabhann, by the way...

Oh, he only did that 'cos the ancient Egyptians were so hacked off with Robin Hood/King Arthur/Ghengis Khan/Jesus Christ etc. etc. speaking with American accents all the time. Sean was so much better as the Scottish commander of a Soviet nuclear submarine in that 'Hunt For Missing Soviet Nuclear Sub With A Scot In Charge' filum.

Brendan, you're not Kevin McCloud are you?

All these BritainsgotXFactorpopstars shows are usually only worth watching for the comically deluded no-hopers at the outset, but for some reason this is actually entertaining and engaging viewing with some genuinely likable contestants and the odd villains (i.e. the Twins) to boo at. It's like the Panto season has come early this year. Clearly we all need *Bob* to come on and remind us of how shallow and gullible we are.

Hiya Lenk, how ya doin'?

Miss You- also Keith Richards (and some other geezers)

Betcha By Golly Wow- The Stylistics

Now! Thats What I Call Music 87... Sorry. Long Tall Sally- Little Richard

Didn't she win 'Opportunity Knocks' as half of 'Peters & Lee'? Never saw her putt the shot, though.

Hi James, thanks for the response. On your earlier posting you said that Southwark intend to rebuild CP Rd, including the pavement. If the road is to be resurfaced then a letter informing residents when the work is scheduled would still be very useful- there would be issues like parking and vehicle access to consider, as well as local traffic implications when the busy early morning CP Rd rat-run is closed off. Husbandjim, it is worth having a word with the workmen when they get to you- I did, and they levelled and cemented the paving stone mentioned in my previous post, and even rebuilt our neighbours brick wall which fell down when the JCB pulled up the old tarmac.

PGC, were you raised on Scott's porage oats, and did you develop 'feelings' for the beefy, kilted shot-putting bloke pictured on the box when you were but a wee impressionable lass?

The Rabid Donkeys were indeed a band destined for greatness until their self destructive, uncontrolled, drug habits eroded their creativity and caused them to fall apart in the face of that 'difficult' second single. Mind you, they were a lot better if you were off your tits. BTW, don't be so hard on the wolfboy, he only wants to be loved...

Which I don't

I think the whole Two Towers thing was an elaborate CIA plot to do with oil. And radical Islamists goblins? Who knew? Some say that Tolkien was just a little too friendly with the Americans, if you get my drift...

I also have cold, dead fingers. Fish. They're fit for the Captains table apparently.

*Sheepishly* "Yes sir. Sorry sir"

So how many organs does Brendan have then?

Brendan's got a steam organ?

Time for a 'Seen Anyone Famously In The Eye Of The Beholder In East Dulwich' thread?

Moos, I offer you my most profound apologies. And your eight sisters too. Beware of falling lemon meringue...

Oi! Leave it...

It's not meant to be taken seriously *Bob*- it's all just a ploy to drag a thread up to the late 90's so Quids can nip in and score the century! But, in the words of the Scandinavian maestros- "Thankyou for the music, the song I'm singing, Thanks for all the joy it's bringing, Who could live without it, I ask in all honesteeeee, What would life beeeeee..."
