M. (hristine Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Also: Hollies? Ouch!There is a bench and a small room carved out of these two hollies. Completely hidden from view. The story goes that it was a shy gardener who wanted to eat his lunch by himself that made it. Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Tatlock Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 'to eat his lunch by himself'You do know that that's a euphemism in English slang don't you? No, not really. But if he was going to see a man about a dog, that would mean he was going for a slash i.e. take a leak, to come full circle in La Ronde style, to the original topic.

Analogman Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I didn't like either of those, but I love Casualties of War. I'm probably alone in this, but I think that might be the best Vietnam movie of all. Interesting - I am partial to Full Metal Jacket. Link to post Share on other sites

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Same last name, no relation though (Besides the fact they both are better at superman than that new guy). Actually they don't even have the same last name......off by an "s" George ReevesChristoper Reeve And yes, both better at Superman. edit - this is Reni Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Interesting - I am partial to Full Metal Jacket.One of my other favourite Drill Instructor's is in Bolixo Blues (end WWII not Vietnam). That reminds me - there's a reality TV show here (which must be about the best of the bunch as it actually serves some purpose) whereby a bunch of youthful petty criminals are sent off for a few months for a 1950s style army compulsory service regime - complete with original ex-sergeants. No censorship of swearing after 9pm on UK TV. Good stuff. It is actually quite heartwarming to see some of those lads truly have their lives turned around as they learn a bit of self respect, confidence, and bond as a group. Cruel to be kind and all that. http://badlads.itv.com/main.php?section=photo&page=2 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you'll think it's crap, but ( a ) they're Welsh ( b ) Kelly Jones has got a real Python Lee Jackson ( ) voice thing going on - which might be right up your street.

ction Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 It is worth noting that Lucero and Drag The River are in fact touring together in November and December. Sweet creamy Jesus. Once again, no DC show. Not that I'd leave the house anyway, but still... Link to post Share on other sites

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Living out West has infected me. I am a slave of the advertisements and the shameless style of spending money. I have a good car, yet I want a separate car, of a different shape, for those times when I feel a different way about myself. I even want a third car, of a third shape, for a time in my future, that I should hope for, when I feel a third way about myself. And oh the colas. They are never content with their colas. They add cherry, and vanilla, and then coffee flavor, and they take away the sugar, like a magician pulling away the tablecloth, and change the logo artwork, and keep you ever dancing, dancing, like a madman on a red-hot conveyor belt to hell; if you don't dance in place and always buy more strange new soda then you'll fall on your side and be whisked off to the scalding white-hot pits of brimstone and sulphur. That is what it is like to get out of bed each day in California. Link to post Share on other sites
