  • I can't recall seeing many folks out and about wearing balaclavas. To the best of my knowledge, neither have I witnessed any beekeepers (in full outfit) wandering the streets.

  • I remember asking my niece if she knew about Dunkirk. She replied saying that it was the place where a madman went on the rampage and shot some schoolchildren. I corrected her by informing her that she was speaking about Dunblane. She had never hear…
  • I grew up in the company of a lot of WW2 veterans. my dad was one but, like most, he never spoke about his experiences. What riles me up is that if we as a species don't learn from the mistakes and issues which led us to war, we are destined to repe…
  • My best regards to you both. I used to know someone with CP, he was one of the most self motivated people I have ever come across. I do know that he started his own small business as a market trader and had ambitions to eventually own a chain of sho…

  • I'm a big WW2 history buff. I look forward to contributing to the thread. Speaking of ignorance - anyone remember the story about the survey which was carried out a couple of years ago. People were asked who Churchill was - the overwhelming respo…

  • I guess folks reading tis thread will already be aware, but just in case... Shortly after the wars end, Operation Market Garden was re-created for the big screen. It used actual locations and every man featured was a veteran of the battle who wer…
  • Perhaps a daft question, but for those who have been there, are the outside areas of Piz Gloria identifiable from the film? (I'm think thing the curling game scene?)
  • I don't really do games, but I did have a go on a xbox game the other day. Grand Theft Auto five. I was very impressed with it, in fact I found myself playing it (by that I mean just roaming across the city and countryside committing random acts of …
  • I don't know in this particular instance, but I've seen so many film actors doing this over the years that perhaps it may be a standard device to help with difficult to remember lines?

  • Further to the above.... If the BBC won't take up the idea, perhaps we could write a letter to BB to point out the advantages of the character when time comes to replace DC as 007? Q branch would have a field day issuing bionic limbs and articifial …
  • Okay then, we've got a a black Muslim, eye patch wearing one legged lesbian single mother assistant (can I say mother without causing offence?) No, better not. let me start again: Okay then, so we've got a person of origin, visually and physical …

  • WOW a PC response!!!! I'm not going to tell you if I'm being sarcastic or not - I thought that was pretty plain anyway - I'll let you figure it out. The 'Brilliant' Stuart Lee? That's the best laugh I've had in ages. I think I might just start quoti…
  • Does anyone know the location used in the boat chase scene from FRWL. I know it's in Scotland somewhere.
  • An interesting 'documentary' on Channel Four tonight - 'Is Love Racist?' I think I'll give it a miss.

  • 'Villain' starring Richard Burton. An awful take on a gangster movie. I guess it was shocking for it's time but it hasn't aged well. The only thing that shocked me was that I stayed up 'til 2am watching it!
  • Creasy47 wrote: » @stag, no clue, I don't watch the show. I wanted to discuss all of this, too, without taking over the thread and derailing it, so I'm glad it got moved to here. Neither do I. Haven't watched it since Tom Baker.
  • BTW the person getting the biggest shock by travelling back to the period I mention would be Mrs Dr Who! Your sonic screwdriver wouldn't be of much use there love! Perhaps that may be a future storyline? 'Dr Who and the curse of the Misogynists'. It…

  • Although I've visited Jamaica several times and been in close proximity to it, I would LOOOOVE to stay at Goldeneye. I'm sure I'm not the only one....... (I mean Fleming's house not the resort complex itself).
