Get in the HOLE ..... literally

[Atticus_Finch]

I agree Basher.
I'm out walking and see a funeral coming past, I always stop as it passes.
I first noticed (mainly older)people doing that when I was in the second car at my grans funeral and I really appreciated it at the time. So I try to do it myself now.

 

[Basher]

I was in a funeral procession (relative) and was extremely touched to see older blokes on the route to the crem stopping and doffing their caps as the procession passed.
Regained my faith in human nature and the act of respect. Seldom seen in the younger generation.

Made the mistake of reading this post while enjoying a mouthful of steak and kidney pie...

With the weigh in tomorrow this is cruel!

I was playing with an older gent who did this once, Basher, whilst the procession made it's way past the course. I complimented him on his manners at the time.

"Well John" he said "It's the least I could do. She was a great wife to me for 45 years"

Come on now Mr. Finlay - that has to be the oldest golf joke in the book

The oldies are the best so they so and I'm NOT talking about the ladies in the Liquid Lounge if MVP is reading this!

And as for Lazytown, what is that Sportacus taking? I want some. Kids TV is taking over my house & my mind!

Ive busted my foot and am laid up at home having my mind addled by this stuff so know what you mean. Sportacus- my moneys on a combination of methamphetamine, anabolic homebrew and a regular fau strength curry.

I heard the guy who plays him writes it, directs it and owns the format outright and must be minted. Expect a slew of overweight, pot-bellied lookie-likies at a fancy dress party coming to a cul-de-sac near you. Soon.

I saw that, Magnus Scheving (how sad am I) is the mans name, must be a millionaire. Is it just me or is there something sinister about that pink-haired kid?

It's the loonies out of 'In The Night Garden' that have me worried. They're like something out of Tolkien's bestiary or the inmates of Archam Asylum.

How any poor child is expected to wander off to the world of nod with the fear of being confronted by:

1) an weird little gnome-type man that pushes a trolley round at random and insists on washing your face with a dirty sponge and a bar of Pears soap before blowing a trumpet at you

2) a dreadlocked dolly that wants to hug you all the time and then pulls a chord in her skirt which then proceeds to inflate while she has a little dance about

3)... or a selection of thirty foot inflatable talking beachballs that move around in intimidating packs

not to mention the f@rting, paddle driven zeppellin style airship which seems to act as a taxi service for the various incarnations of apocolyptic devilry that inhabit this garden.

...is beyond me.

For the uninitiated no, billy's not been at the disco biscuits- just click the links and be prepared to be terrified

 

[medwayjon]

It is frightening what they subject children to these days.

Jon, I have had all that with OJ and am now getting Tracey Beaker, Super Mario and other stuff.
