    Life lessons from the Professor.....

    I think there is a bit of Onslow in every guy. I can totally empathize with the beer and bacon cravings. In tonight's Britcom Tuesday broadcast on RIPBS, an episode of KUA was aired, I don't know the title, but it was the episode where Daddy was cycling au natural, heavily inebriated, along a...

    I wonder How long do we Spend

    Even when my Android tablet is shut off during the night, google backs in through my wireless router, turns on the tablet, and syncs my activity with their cloud. I noticed it in the wee hours one night when I glanced at the tablet, noticed it was on, saw the message 'Sync Complete' then...

    Summerwine shop up for lease

    EXCELLENT! I am glad that the bikes went to a fan and not just a commercially motivated flipper. I read the story about Marina's bike in Andrew Vine's book, as I recall. I also found the story somewhere on the internet. Marina's Phoenix was replaced with two Chraleigh bikes. The later...

    Summerwine shop up for lease

    I want Jean Fergusson's bicycle, the original blue Phoenix with the missing lower rear chaincase cover piece. The bike was given to her when it was retired from the show. It was autographed by some of the LOTSW Actors at the presentation. She kept it at her place in Yorkshire, but when she...

    Compo's Band

    The only thing I love better than watching a brass band perform is watching a brass band marching in a parade. Kudos to all those bands that contributed their talents, time and efforts to LotSW, especially to the younger performers who did soooooo great! Thanks to the production staff of LotSW...

    Onslow's car backfiring.

    I'm with Bora Natty. We had Home Economics in Worcester Massachusetts, where you would have needed pretty big ones to defend attendance in that class. I entered Burncoat Junior High School the year they invented the miniskirt. By second semester, the seventh grade girls had invented the...

    Onslow's car backfiring.

    Fart cans can sound OK if you have the authority of a V8 squashing air through them with a nice rumble. But they put these things on shameful little 4 cylinder rice burners, which present like an automotive "death rattle". Bora Natty, if you recall the hot muffler of our yesteryear was the...

    Onslow's car backfiring.

    I had a 1975 Jaguar XJ6, appropriately colored lemon yellow. If my memory serves me, it was carbureted with 2 Strombergs. This car had an orgasm almost every time I shut it off. The car would have a brief moment of silence after I shut it off, which would lull me into the false sense that it...

    Leaving on a Jet Plane

    My first flight was in September of 1974 from Boston to Bangor Maine on Delta, then a puddle jumper to Bucksport Maine, to visit a paper mill on business. When I got back, I honestly filled out my expense report to the penny and submitted it. My bosses' boss tossed it back on my desk and asked...

    How??

    I just finished SOAH and my opinion still stands. If you look at Roy Clarke's writing career, SOAH was not only his last significant effort, it was probably the only single writing project he had to focus on at the time. After all of the wife bashing that took place in LOTSW, to end SOAH with...

    How??

    You are right!! I worked with a fellow named John Glanville and the spelling got stuck in the woolen mills of my mind. It will teach me not to type so late at night! :29:

    How??

    Being from America, prior to OAH, I never had any exposure to Ronnie Barker or to David Jason. I prefer SOAH. Ronnie Barker's stutter was OK, but he was no Mel Tillis or Michael Palin. Think about Michael Palin in 'A Fish Called Wanda' when he achieved the ultimate pinnacle of a stutter...
