I like Frank Skinner. Although I have never met him he comes across as a genuinely funny bloke who can easily ad lib his way through his performances.

Looking back through the posts a couple of comedians stand out. I like Steve Coogan and Ricky Gervais (the DVDs of Gervais' live shows are available in poundland - I bought them in the knowledge that a quid would be worth the gamble). I sort of half…

Putting money into the pockets of multimillionaire faux socialists never appealed to me so, with that in mind, I won't even give them TV time in my house. A few more: James Corden - WTF! (Already mentioned) Rob Brydon (Welsh - say no more!)…

One more thing. As boys, almost everyone used to openly carry knives. Not for fighting (you would only ever fight with fists - no kicking) but for whittling wood and suchlike. I carried a bowie type knife on my belt for years, from about aged eight …

When I was a boy it was the norm to wear shorts both to school and elsewhere. During periods of cold weather you wore long trousers but other than that it was shorts all the way. Only when you went up to secondary school would long trousers be worn …

I a closet fan of the Lew Grade films. They are bad but also good (if that makes sense?). 'Escape To Victory' 'Escape From Athena' and 'North Sea Hijack' are among my favourites. I must say that EFA is actually a good film. If anyone hasn't seen it…

Two. 'The Revenant' and 'The Hatton Garden Job' both piss poor, but the latter too awful for words.

@barry007 thanks for that, but I don't do the internet purchasing thing. I don't use cards for a start (don't trust 'em). I can get the films via traditional means.

I guess all the derelict places (which The Professionals excelled in using) are long since built upon? Yes the signage brings back many memories. Happy days indeed. With very few exceptions I can name all the types of cars used or parked along th…

No, not my force anyway. As I said, the handsets were like telephone receivers, black in colour. The only similarity is the curled cord. They could have used them in the Met though so the photos may not be inaccurate. I'm guessing at the science bit…

Thanks. Will do. Just one other small point. In those days - as far as I'm aware - the standard UK police issue personal radio was the Burndept. It was certainly in service with my force. It was a big blue thing with a stubby aeriel, all branches…

I've never seen The Sweeney films - in fact I didn't know there were any. Any progress on tracking down the reason for the lights thing? It's still bugging me as to why they did't use lights on the show.

I used to watch it when it was first broadcast (recording some episodes on the top loading betamax when I was at work). As with everything else it was hit and miss. I thought it ran out of steam towards the end of Terry's tenure. As for the Nephew e…

New conservatory - check! Garage rebuilt (half a check - too hot to work outside!) New kitchen installed - check! New bathroom installed - check! Exterior work abandoned until the weather cools sufficiently. I am now setting about wallpapering!

Thanks @Mrcoggins. My instinct was to go with ply, but I wanted a second opinion.

A bit obscure I know, but has anyone ever used non marine ply for outside building projects? I'm doing some DIY jobs at the moment, and want to put a new roof on my garage. I'd obviously waterproof the stuff and have some bitumen roof paint to paint…
