Channel 4 showed a condensed half hour at midnight on UK TV last night (watched as I don't have the DVD yet). They took footage of 4 or 5 songs with practically none of the in between comments/atmospherics etc. Sounded great - so it might be the audio side that sells it for me as I wouldn't watch repeatedly (as experienced with the JT DVD). Spotted certain people in the front row You know who you are. Ha! Roll on Santiago. Get yer scallop shells out.

I could tentatively be in Santiago spending an afternoon dodging the giant swinging incense dispenser followed by some music. Has to be said the other shows are pretty expensive, so just this one and some mountain walking thank you very much.

Yeah close, it's Honour Prior to the results he must have been a bag of nerves (get it?) best wishes

Keep the flame burning Miss Y!

So there I was watching the latest instalment of Stephen Fry odessey across the USA in a London black cab (touching each of the 50 states and spending time at querky locations in each - however not totally recommended as it's all a bit superficial) when suddenly on driving to Illinois he heads straight for Second City and takes part in an improv show, followed by a meal of Chicago's most famous delicacy (sic) - I think just across the road from the theatre with 2 of the comedians. Something tells me he was slightly disappointed to discover that the rumours of fabulous weeners that had attracte

Oh, that explains why you don't like me then, but I miss you. Keep your pecker up. Chin chin!

Good evening. How are you and NY? I appear like Zorro, only without the tight trousers, unexpected, like the Spanish Inquisition.

Now you tell me, when it's too late to get a ticket and everything!!! Don't forget to take a tennis ball and/or cup cakes. Oh, and the co-ordinated t-shirts. P.S. Love to Yoda.

Hubba hubba!

Is this the bit where JT had to run the gauntlet down the hall while you thumped him in the ribs? I heard you missed a trick - someone in the middle should always trip the runner up, then you can get a few kicks in at the liver. P.S. Thanks for posting etc.

Mmmm .... Gordos. Mmmm .... cupcakes Aren't they forgetting something also in the park each year? Enjoy!

I've already got a multi-region DVD player - I meant we don't get the show broadcast. And if you were thinking about recording and sending a DVD: that's OK - no need for the trouble (but tell me if I'm in a shot dancing during Get Up John ).

Nope, but dementia hasn't set in yet and the memories are still tip top I'll lob a tennis ball in your honour whilst wearing the special t-shirt tonight

Just been perusing this at the club:- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7158637.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/7158663.stm Glad to see the chaps keeping their spirits up by preserving the old traditions. Reminds me of that time in Tanganyika in '32 when Fuzzy Totherington grew a moustache so long he could use it to tie a knot in his Price Albert. Damn fine chaps those cavalry types. Merry Christmas! Chin Chin!

You deserve a bacon butty

I'm just off outside to celebrate with a traditional game of 'toss the Proddy'. Remember, St. Patrick was a Welshman!

That's funny, 'cos I bumped into Pammy once at Worms Head. I think she comes from Neath originally.

Nice But what's the Welsh connection?

Bbop sighting? Not certain but the headbanging looks mighty familiar (though I've only seen it from the back of course). Bbop Hope you're on the mend.

Drat, drat and double drat But some good has come out of all this: I discovered that in Hungary Dick Dastardly was called G

Bonza and Chin Chin (Took me forever to find a picture of Strop - Mr Gumby's Antipodean long lost coustin I think)

gob = mouth (just checking that you knew that). So basically gobsmacked means visibly stunned; taken aback - as if you just been punched in the face. My variation would have been in the mode of an old school comedian like Frankie Howerd. Titter ye not, as he would say. http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/874448/index.html Now I really much catch up on my sleep. Time to dream of EH!

You got that right ... http://flickr.com/photos/maudiemc/sets/721...5417955/?page=3 Never has my gob been so smacked. Thanks!
