Seems like a simpler, gentler time. One I can easily imagine myself comfortably and happily living in.

Had me thinking of the time Compo and his friend (Stinky Rumbalo?) would roll Eileen Watkins down a hill.

I'll say! A search of the average brick weight of 4.5 pounds (2kg) each would mean 185,000 bricks to be about 832,500 pounds or 376,000 kg or 416 tons! The LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard locomotive weighs in around 185 tons per the Wiki. Saw two references to how much it could pull: 1) A speed...

Very creative.

Out of curiosity I did a search to see if Jack the Ripper (1888) and Dr. Crippen (moved to London 1897) were active during the same time frame. Came across this site that seems to have a lot of info on Jack the Ripper - https://casebook.org/ . Have you seen it before, @Pearl ? You may...

Glad you had a chance to make it there. Wonderful landscape picture view of the countryside, thanks for sharing. Sounds like you had a great trip with lovely weather. Much respect for leaving a bit of ashes of your Mom at the bench.

Have seen a few thumbnail images of those about other actors. A kind of 'Where are they now..?' type thing showing the actor in rough state of a hospital bed or something. Very tasteless fakery and disgusting attempt to get clicks. Not clicked on the link so as not to give them any more than...

You are supposed to take the spoon out of the tea cup before drinking from it. ;) I recall a Brit-Com sketch where a patient is told this from their doctor. Because they were poking themselves in the face with the spoon while drinking. Sorry for the bit of levity, did not mean to take away...

Greets and Welcome, atb90. I believe that is an inline water heater. Someone else may know better and chime in. added- Ha, Barry got there too.

Captain, maybe Hobbo was wearing Howard's super tall platform shoes? My DuckDuckGo search shows Russ is 4" taller than Frank. You are right, Frank does seem really tall as Cpt. Peacock.

Great episode, Pearl. Sir Humphrey was beside himself with loss of his key and access to the building. Really like the lady who gave Hacker the idea. Wish she had been in more episodes.

I have not seen much of the newer Dr. Who stuff. Think I stopped following so much after the 7th doctor - mostly due to lack of availability to view the shows. Bruce, I do like Michelle Gomez as an actress and comedian. Thought she was great in "Green Wing". Only saw snippets of her on...

I noticed the other day that our Seymour is in the show "Charters and Caldicott" along with Uncle Mort from "I Didn't Know You Cared" on the YouTube "Classic British Telly" channel. Not watched it yet but plan to soon. side note: The channel also recently posted "Let There be Love" with Paul...

Hi, Pearl. How about these for you and your grandson: - 'The Birds' by Alfred Hitchcock - '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' by Jules Verne - Plan 9 from Outer Space Spy movies for you, if you have not seen already: - North by Northwest - Where Eagles Dare - Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood. (One...

Tails of the Unexpected as you mentioned is another great show. I see that Leonard Nimoy is in the first episode from them. For some reason I feel that there is a series similar, if not the same, that he did an intro or some narration for the show episodes. Found it, "In Search of..."...

Not sure how well a few movies I can think of at the moment would rate with you both. I really liked them when I saw them as an early teen growing up - still like them today. "Death Race 2000" - with David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone. A cross country car race where the goal is to...

I recognize the names of a few of those movies. Sounds like some of them could be on "Mystery Science Theater 3000" or "MST3K " as it is affectionately known as.

Scary frowns. The Angry emote on your post seems to suite their faces well.

Wow, used to love pouring over Haynes and Chilton's Repair books. Lots of good reading info. Great for those who like to turn a wrench or DIY car stuff. I bet Wesley had a few in his shed.
