"the Goons were about as funny as The Epilogue."

Aha! But you had to make the pictures in your own head, my pictures were great?

Tizer on its way to Anmo and Sweeper for remembering "The Bumblies" (See? I KNEW that Anmo wouldn't be able to resist it......). The Goon Show was an acquired taste and allegedly revolved around WW2 service humour. If that was the case then why did it crease me up at the tender age of......well, single figures in the 50s? I shed real tears when Milligan passed away. Didn't care much for Dickie V, though.

Suit yourselves, eh?

Gary, i used to arrange the black park stand at RAF Halton..... shame the show is no more, boat pool was always too small, but there was a great diversity of models on show there.......... i miss the event !

but there are still some great shows out there, why not go the the southern model airshow in september, good flying dispalys a good pool to sail on, great people and buggies, classic cars, plastic model displays and even some lifesize dalek models

get in you motor and go , only 70 mins from your place !

I was also a Michael Bentine addict - especially "A Square World".

That was a bit after your time wasn't it Colin ??

Spike Milligan, remember him well. Lived just up the road from me.
Had a sign on the gate to the path up to his front door which said "No Vehicular Access".
He also caught a kid in his garden nicking apples, so he shot him with an air rifle.
When he died he had something like " I told them I was ill " put on his gravestone.
Ahhh the good old days.

Put that copy of Bob Dylan away ("My back pages"?). You'll get us all a bad name with the young folk........

Richard
That would be in Hythe? I read that the miserable gits who run the local council wouldn't allow the family to use "I told you I was ill" as an inscription on the Great Man's headstone, so they did a Spike-like trick on the council and had it engraved in Gaelic!

What can you say? Most sufferers go past genius on their way to madness; Milligan did it the other way around.

Ah me! reading all the things that you children did in your nostagical days of youth make me all weepy eyed and dreamy, ( my son says that is because of the medication that the nurse keeps giving me ) walking to school in the snow with no shoes, a** hanging out of my trousers, bread and dripping, waiting outside the pub for dad to come home from spending all the money on ale, Yes! 1980 certainly takes me back. bigH

You're already on record as being over 77 but don't come "the old soldier" here, matey! Thinking about it, your son is possibly older than I am.........

FLJ, if we're discussing the works of the greatest poet the world has ever seen, see if you can place this line.

'And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom,'

The really sad thing is, that he'll probably be able to....

FullLeatherJacket · « **Reply #41 on:** April 25, 2007, 09:21:59 pm »

Wouldn't be one of McGonagle's, would it?

Nah - it's "The Ballad of Hattie Carroll" by He Who Must Be Revered

(How the he11 did I remember that ? I can't even remember what we had for lunch).

RW - Don't turn this into "Where's this line from, then?" for Gawd's sakes!

Almost right, the correct title as penned by Bob is 'The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll', so just half a point for that.

A 'Where's this line from' thread would be a lot more interesting that one or two of the others that have been running on this forum in recent weeks. Still, I can take a hint Mr Jacket, so we'll leave it there, but here's another one for you to ponder on 'On the very next day, with a nose full of pus' They don't write them like that anymore, do they?

FLJ Sorry Dave my son says that he does not reveal his age in case his wife finds out and takes his pension off him. Harry
