My Mum died 4 yrs ago next month. In 2005, my parents did a West Coast USA holiday. During a tour of the Hollywood Bowl in LA, Dad lost Mum, no idea where she was. Suddenly,Mum's up on the stage belting out 'Crazy' by Patsy Cline, her fave song. She got a standing ovation from whole tour party. โค๏ธ๐
'The Geography of Peace'
As long as it's not London Welsh..๐๐ #neverforget
As an Oxford fan, tonight I'm a big fan of theSky Blue Godivas! ๐๐
Indeed. Trials with Leicester too I think. Hope both teams get 'nul points' this weekend. All Sky Blue Godivas tonight are we not? ๐
Can't be Smith, he hates Guinness. More of a Murphys man I gather.๐
Friday...๐
Really enjoying the pod which in turn means I'm enjoying my morning commute!๐ Few shows I'd like to see featured in future episodes - 'How' , 'Shadows', 'A Ghost Story for Christmas', 'Target' & 'Kolchak:The Night Stalker'. Also 'Mornin' Sarge' but nobody bar me appears to remember that ๐
Currently revisiting stuff that I was obsessed with as a kid growing up in the 1970s. Picked this up in a charity shop in Aylesbury today.
Well. I've learnt something today! ๐๐๐
Any idea who provides the voiceover for this? Was thinking David De Keyser but I've never managed to track down anything official.
Does anyone know how to cancel an Ebay bid? I've made an offer for a Mickey Mouse outfit and I'm five minutes away from owning Tottenham Hotspur..
'Cherry Ripe!', Foggy playing the most haunted character in cinema history, Rand Hobart and the utterly bizarre kids party at a stately home just outside Watford. Bring. It. On!!
Who the f**k turned Spring off? Has anyone kept the receipt? #freezing #heatingsbackon ๐๐
They're back from Uni then..๐๐
' 'ave we missed him? Has he gone? ' Just sublime. We do it every Easter too.
Easter you say?
Scheduled the newly discovered Who eps tonight at 8pm. Chilled, glass of red, toasting the fact they've been unseen for 61 years. Cushions plumped, good to go. Then the wife says can we watch 'Beyond Paradise' first..๐๐ซข
Two of the astronauts making a cup of tea on the Artemis II. Astronaut 1 - 'I can't open the tiny milk carton'. Astronaut 2 - 'In space nobody can. Here,use cream' ๐
Reynolds They sent a dummy over the waterfall and it looked like shit, like a dummy. So I went over the waterfall and hit a rock about a quarter of the way down and cracked my hip bone and my coccyx. They told me if I got caught in the hydro flow, swim to the bottom and it'll shoot you out. They didn't tell me that it would shoot me like a submarine torpedo! They couldn't find me for five minutes. A mile down the river, they saw this nude man stumbling, crawling towards them. I'd had on these high boots and they were gone, the pants were gone, the underwear was gone, the jacket was gone. I said to Boorman, "How's it look, John?" He said, "Like a dummy going over the waterfall."
Reading about the making of John Boorman's Deliverance and you know that scene where Lewis (Burt Reynolds) somersaults into the waterfall...?
43 years ago this very weekend, I queued for 3 hours outside a tent in Wiltshire to watch Episode 6 of 'The Dalek Invasion Of Earth'. To all fellow Longleat 83 veterans out there,I salute you. It was,after all,our 'Woodstock'.

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be"
My Network DVD of this has been sat on my shelf for probably over a decade now, unwatched, still in the cellophane. I shall shamefully surrender my Cult Telly fan credentials forthwith and put that right over this weekend. Fab pod by the way.
Blimey. Gutted I missed out on this.
Season 7 is the bleakest season in the shows entire history. Dark, windswept, colour-but-not-colour. Welcome to 1970. It's not the Swinging 60s anymore. And I bloody love it!
Loved the The Rest is History podcast series on Custers Last Stand so felt compelled to seek out a copy of this legendary tome. My Grandad (born in 1903) loved all things Wild West when he was a boy and used to regale stories of Custer & Crazy Horse, etc to me when I was very young.

Treating the Spouse to a day out at the National Hovercraft Museum in Lee-on-Solent this summer. Dog friendly, shop and a cafe too. I'll tell her when we're just past Newbury..๐๐
