    New Book

    "You won't do any good until you're 40" was advice given to Frank Thornton. Isn't that the truth? That men don't really hit their acting stride until they've developed deep wrinkles, jowls, receding hairlines, etc. And if you happen to catch them in various shows when they were younger, they...

    I've often Wondered

    There is something that pulls at your very soul when there is a "will they, won't they" what will they do? type of thing that keeps you interested. Once the wedding bells have rung, it's like putting a pin in a balloon. Poof, all of the interest is gone. Also there's no way that Roy Clarke could...

    That Butterscotch Yellow Cabinet

    There is the butterscotch yellow cabinet in Arkwright's kitchen. But that's not the first time it appeared; in LOTSW it was in Compo's living room. It's a nice cabinet and looks at home in both shows as it fits right in, in the down-at-the-heels décor.

    Complicated.

    Sit down with the two 15 year olds to watch an episode, starting with the one where they try to catch the donkey, ride the donkeys, and/or roll down the hill in barrels and ask them if they can relate. Since the premise is the Trio acting like adolescents, then they ought to be able to relate.

    On this very day....

    I would say that Frank Thornton was a very strong presence on and off the set and that he helped in many different ways. And I think that I heard that children were actually forming those words on the hillside and it must have taken some efforts on the part of many to get the kids in all of the...

    Broadband Inter-not

    Our telephone (landline) died and I called on my cellphone (mobile) of course, and set up a time of arrival. The repairman arrived at the stated time and after much troubleshooting, came up with a workable solution. However, I had one concern regarding his plan and he was able to accommodate my...

    UKTV Play

    Well, we have a similar channel with all British shows. That is except on Tuesday where they run foreign shows with English captions, the caveat being that these are the shows that the British like to watch. Anyone familiar with "The Seaside Hotel?" They also run a lot of current British shows...

    Mr. Newbold

    Let's recall that Stephanie Cole also starred in "Waiting for God" which had her in a relationship and since she was good at relationships, suddenly there was Mrs. Featherstone and Mr. Newbold.

    Amazon Woes

    As I understand it, it is not a question of having enough drivers but there is an official "handshake" between USPS and the Amazing retailer therefore this delivery practice.

    Something unusual about the area you live in

    My mother was born and raised in Quincy, Pennsylvania which is outside of Waynesboro which is sort of near Gettysburg. My great great great grandfather was named David Long. He gave the sermon in the Little Dunker Church the Sunday before the (Civil War) Battle of Antietam. The church Bible was...

    Nurse Gladys

    Well, I looked up "render" and the definition was to provide or give a service. So I assume that the house had a makeover of some sort and failed to satisfy the show's producer.

    The agony of choice

    It goes without saying that if you're going to have something yummy, it has to have chocolate. And when you have something called a "Vanilla Slice" no matter how you dress it up, it's sounds underwhelming. On the other hand, "Éclair" just says there must be chocolate and it's going to be good!!

    Another Power Failure!

    Sadly, a lady was walking her dog in a park. She happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Apparently, she was under a tree when a main branch fell and she was unable to escape. The branch was so large that nobody was able to lift it and they had to wait for the chainsaws to be...

    Something unusual about the area you live in

    Growing up, I lived in Falls Church, Virginia (US). First of all, the city was named for The Falls Church (Episcopalian/Anglican) which was founded in 1734, and built by the English Crown. George Washington was a church vestryman there. The City of Falls Church was established in 1875. Also...

    Haircut

    Well, I had been with my hairdresser for about five or so years and then there was the issue of the shampoo chair and my back. Yes, it was a physical issue, so I finally came to a realization,. The realization was that I did not need to sit in that awful shampoo chair to have a perm that I did...

    Colour Blind

    On the old Popeye cartoons, there was a character named Wimpy and he had a stock line. It was, "I'll gladly pay you on Tuesday for a hamburger today." And you just knew that that particular Tuesday would never quite arrive.

    Colour Blind

    I find that the old TV shows in black and white with monotone sound are more comforting to watch. The action was slower, the scenes were longer, and on the whole, less jarring. Also the stories were more intricate.

    Amazon Woes

    There is a truly massive push to get people to use online places like Amazon instead of local bricks and mortar places. So it is most expedient to get the car out and drive to these local places to do your shopping because if you don't these local places will just disappear. Yes, sometimes you...

    Favourite Arkwright selling ruses

    Speaking of sultanas, here across the Pond, there is the issue of the current. Currents, as found in Merry Old England, are banned over here.. So sultanas are sold and called currents but actually they are not true currents. It's something to do with the fact that if currents were allowed to be...
