With all this talk about Child protection and Political Correctness (The latter does not exist in our office) which is enough to scare people, I found this spoof song and video , and being a fan of Blake's Seven and hoping there are others out there who will enjoy this this clip..and bring back fond memories when you could have fun.. {-)

AAARRGH... Blakes Seven, :PIt was ruddy awful then and it hasn't improved with age. Just watched the video and am now off to the shed to hang myself...AAArrgh! {-) ;)
-
Good god....I've seen some blinkin awful things in my time but this one takes the cake :P I forsee a high suicide rate among our Mayhem members if there's more of this to come!?
-
Ahhh Memories... memories..... ::)
-
What about Benny Hill and the Hills Angels....now that was a show!!! If only we could get it on DVD, before you say you can? You can't get any of the shows from the 80's onwards!
-
Yest that was a show , but you can get the dvds
Benny Hill: Complete & Unadulterated: Set 5 (1982-1985) [1969] (REGION 1) (NTSC).

Awful program but some of the women and the way they dressed WHOOPEE.

Servilan? I thought it was Annie Lennox....
-
So many well missed shows from the 80's....remember Auto-Man and Street Hawk or Manimal, how about Danger Mouse, The Price is Right, The Young One's, The Kenny Everett Show, It ain't alf hot mum, Mother, Some Creatures Great & Small, Till death us do part???
-
the short haird girl in the start, is she a boy george lookalike :lol:
-
Met them all once at a Sci-Fi Convention...how sad is that :embarrassed:
-
now this also takes the p^^^, Thomas the tank's "Fat Controller" cant be called FAT controller as it may be offencive to those of larger bodily proportions hence Sir Toppum hat!
Telly Tubbies BANNED IN POLAND for homosexual inuendo,
Allo Allo, because of "heil Hitler" was probably banned in Germany, yet its a BLATANT mickey take of the war!
any others you know of?
-
Servalan was probably responsible for a huge number of spotty youths ruining their eyesight. Single handed, so to speak. I recall Blakes Seven as lacking in both Blake and Seven.
My past favourites were the "proper" Batman series - my son saw some on a nostalgia channel and nearly crippled himself laughing - and The Avengers.
-
Ghost's mention of "Allo, Allo" and the Germans reminds me of a story I heard on the radio many years ago.
Jeremy Lloyd, one of the writers, was being interviewed and described how they had tried to sell the series to a German TV Company.
After watching the show, the German executive turned to Lloyd and said "I zuppose you zink ve Germans are obsessed wiz punctuality and hev no zense of humour, Herr Lloyd?"
"Well," replied Lloyd, "You were here on time and you haven't laughed a lot!"

dont menseeon zee var!

Captain Pugwash

Yeah that Seaman Bates and Master Stains not to mention Roger the Cabin Boy. Best long running gag ever.

Wow, that was great.
Just as i remember it.
They dont make them like they used too do they!

The great tragedy in all of this is that the greatest comedian and sleight of hand artist is now in Lisbon preparing and willing to give away everything you hold dear. Mark my words, and in the not too distant future you and your "hobbies" will be subject to a "Big-Brother" overseer. They just have'nt got around to it yet...but they will. Thank goodness that I spent most of my life free of these stupid beaurocratic constraints, but I worry a lot about what sort of country my children will inherit. BY.

Hi BY
So totally agree.. I was to young to remember and may have been in the States at the time but my work colleagues keep telling me how Enoch Powell predicted this years ago
now this also takes the p^^^, Thomas the tank's "Fat Controller" cant be called FAT controller as it may be offencive to those of larger bodily proportions hence Sir Toppum hat!
Telly Tubbies BANNED IN POLAND
Should have been banned here as well for any reason available..
###
How about Servilan and Jr Ewing , this would have been interesting..
-
I have long held the view that politicians have only very limited ability to improve things but there are no constraints whatsoever in the opposite direction. >:(
-
Hi guys....who mentioned politicians......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! any one who actually wants to be a lying ba@$:<|d, sorry ,politician should be banned from ever being one !
regards bob..

There is an old "truism" that says that anyone who really wants to be elected should be avoided. I leave the reasons why up to you!

I'm loving this nostalgia trip and the Youtube clip montage set to Acceptable in the eigthies is jolly good.
The e.mails were thick and fast between a colleague and I yesterday when I mentioned I'd watched the BritFlick 'Starter For Ten' on a plane flight which as you can probably guess is about a bunch of Students quest for victory in University Challenge (one of the leads is played by the simply gorgeous Alice Eve but thats another story).
Anyhow we ended up mailing back and forth large passages of recited script from the best episode ever of 'TheYoungOnes'. Bambi where Bamber Gasgoine is played by Gryff Rhys-Jones. Some of you may recall Vyvyan getting decapitated by leaning out of a train window???
It was like being back at school, Brill !!!!
Basically then there's no telly now like what we grew up with, and they were right - Kids are very impressionable with what they view on the box, I think we managed to remember most of that script between us.
T.V gold when Ben Elton was still writing great scripts including , of course, Blackadder.

Urban myth I'm afraid - it was Tom the Cabin boy, the first mate was referred to as "Mister mate" and there was no Seaman Staines
"Master Bates" probably due to Hitchcock and Psycho

Actually I Think that it was Master Mates not Mister Mate very close for comfort any way it was all down to one particular episode which sparked it all off.
See link then click on the captain pug picture and you could see why this all kicked off.

Now don't knock Blakes Seven, I was in 2 episodes, and as they had spent all the budget on the sets you can guess how much the rest of us got. Still I don't need to work again until Monday, and can afford to retire in 2097.
:'(
-
Spill the beans then
which 2 episodes so I can go and get my Complete set of VHS tapes (remember them) and find an excuse to watch the whole series again.
-
no and they're probably not allowed to because it may offend our ethnic minority cultures and people who are easiliy offended
they may ban top gear because of "driving cars is detromental to the environment", after all they've already thaught about banning fast food adverts because of its supposed link to obesity. PC lobbyists and tree huggers g'ah what next?
-
a future preview of things to come!

Hi guys... It probably won't be long before some idiot tries to ban pencils.........after all they have got a sharp point and you could have someones eye out !!!!!!...
sad world aint it ?.................

It was in the news last week that a family is trying to get pen tops banned because their child nearly choked on one...got lodged sideways somehow.

I seem to recall spending my entire childhood playing on rubbish tips, bomb sites, dark streets and thick woodland. No wonder most of my generation never suffered from an "allergy"....although,sadly, we did lose pals through scarlet fever. diptheria etc. Let the kids loose to play! Perhaps then we will not get the rather od "uptight" young adults we get today.
-
WAH! Please miss Colin is picking on me again, I want my mummy
-
yet we sit here being wrapped up in cotton wool by a government hell bent on trying to apease the so-sue-me society! when in the 1980s did people give a b***er about political correctness, back then a black board was a blackboard, not a chalk board because calling it a black board may offend our african and arabic ethnic minorities g'ah!!!!
-
How come, in this politically correct world of ours, there is a National Black Police Federation, but no equivalent White organisation? Similarly, why is "Music of Black Origin" allowed, and given awards, whilst there is no similar recognition for "White" music? It seems that if you are a member of the indigenous people of this country, then you are of no consequence!

Too late. New pencil sharpeners have to be designed to sharpen to a radius. We still have knives, thankfully, so we can get a proper point.

Except for MP's now we have them trying to ban Home Lathes, the reason..... They can be used to make guns. this is serious people, it was reported in the Model Engineer that an MP had made it his duty to try and initiate an enquiry into the possibility of making hobbyists register their home lathes and be licensed because he had seen an article in one of the mags on building a model Gatling gun, ( the article was for a 1/10 scale, NON-WORKING civil war American society ) ::)
-
In the 40's model engineers helped with the war effort in their home workshops, I wonder if the same
MP has thought how easy it would be for us modelmakers to construct detonators etc. OOOOOPs.
-
Look at it the other way - we could all make bits for the two new aircraft carriers and save the MoD lots of dosh. And on this forum we have unrivalled expertise on what colour grey to paint them!

Ho dear Circlip you have made a whoopsie, :embarrassed: :embarrassed:
If said MP reads this site he will now cite your ability to make Dets on your lathe to further his case for registration. 8) 8)
Once you registered of course should anything untoward happen they will know exactly where to come to remove said lathe. :'( :'(

Hi guys....now im not in the least bit bothered by where someone comes from, but it makes me wonder why the scots can be scottish,,the welsh can be welsh,,and the irish can be irish,,,,,,,but when you fill out an official form we cant be english we have to be british,,,,,,,,,makes you wonder dont it ?
regards all......bob..
-
Yes colin h, I forget the name of the actual machine tool maker but at the time of theIiraqi Big gun saga,
a british CNC lathe manufacturer was being congratulated by one Govt department for exports and condemed
by another for selling equipment to aid Iraqs weapons manufacturing capability.

Matrix churchill or somethink wasn't it ..

Yep them's the ones

I see in todays paper that "ousted" MPs cannot find a job that "suits their talents" as they are apparently commercially "unemployable". WOW! BIG NEWS. This says a lot for the skill and "savvy" of our "elected" representatives.
I recall a visit by MPs on a "fact-finding" tour (Falklands) and all these idiots could do was to rush around the ship asking if anyone came from their constituency. Not the least bit interested in what the ship was doing. A Pox on them all....
-
Hi bryan.....it must be true because when i was training and trying to find employment for youngsters and latterly adults, i never once saw a job advert asking for a .shifty.two faced slimey , lying ba#:7#d, must be the reason you cant employ them......eh!

The above statement is so true
I learnt to swim ,YES in THE DEEP END , I learnt to dive correctly In Both The DEEP & Yes the Shallow end of a pool. (admittedly in the late 70's-80's)
I have just come back from my child's swimming lesson absolutely fuming because I have just found out that because some stupid idiots decided that it would be good to dive with their hands by their sides and with adult supervision !! had what the H.S.E Called near misses because they scraped the bottom of the pool at 1.9 metres, and because of this they have now banned all diving indefinitely , talk about shooting themselves in the foot, all this will do is to stop people learning how to dive properly so should they then go somewhere , where diving is allowed they will not have a clue.
Yet the same pool allows people to go onto a narrow pool side with their normal footwhere, bringing untold horrors into the pool especially as most pools seem to have stopped the footbaths before entering.
Also at the same pool I have seen more people slip onto there backside walking quickly down the side of the pool than have been injured because of diving, does this mean that walking on the side of a pool should be banned , and why we are at it why not ban having water in the pool and we can all just pretend to swim.
If the same rules for diving or any swimming incident (3 nr misses) were applied to every mode of transport we would have no transport in any form.
Yes I know that in general the H.S.E does a good job and is out there to protect us but in some cases I think they go to far and all they need to do was just ban the idiots who caused this problem from the pool.

Here is one for the PC crowd.
For some reason only half of this link is active (underlined) you need all of it. So cut and paste into the address bar please.

I usually find reports like this eminate from crap "newspapers" like the Daily Mail and are unfounded in fact.
-
About the lathes - the media, politicians and in all probability the security services are probably unaware that many people who can use a lathe to a good standard can probably make one. Which would be unregistered. Better to ban the use of scribes, dividers and protractors. And rulers.
