    State of of the few remaining telephone boxes

    Here in the United States, the state of telephone boxes (or telephone booths as we call them) is also in disarray. Many have disappeared altogether, as cell phones have rendered them redundant. In all honesty, I can't remember the last time I saw one. They've for the most part gone the way of...

    What Goodies did you all get

    I didn't receive anything, but I didn't mind actually. Christmas has gotten too commercialized and away from it's true meaning -- celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. In the spirit of the holiday, however, I was generous with my giving, especially where my twin nieces are concerned.

    Happy Birthday Frank Thornton

    I'd like to take this opportunity to send my belated birthday wishes to Frank as well. A fine comedic actor he is indeed. Nobody could have played Captain Peacock and Truly Of The Yard quite like he could. Those characters suited him to a tee.

    Just saw the episode "Ballad For Wind Instruments & Canoe"...

    What are you listening to?

    My musical tastes are rather broad. In any given day, I could go from listening to Andres Segovia to Burl Ives to Judas Priest to everything else in between.

    You know it's getting close to Christmas when?

    A bunch of houses in my neighborhood are lit up like airport runways with all the blinking lights. Plus, there's always my new-found tradition of watching the LOTSW Christmas specials on DVD, of which "All Mod Conned" is my favorite!

    From Alan Bell

    This I would have loved to see come to fruition! A shame the BBC doesn't know good, quality comedy when they see it. Apparently, vulgarity and lewd behavior passes for comedy these days, and I find that utterly shameful.

    Re Lastofthesummerwine.net

    When I saw how the picture caption on the main page hadn't been updated for months, I figured something was up. A shame it fell by the wayside. I sincerely hope this site does NOT follow suit, as LOTSW fans everywhere need an online forum to meet and discuss the series.

    Hi to my fellow LOTSW friends!

    Manfromoswestry here. Used to post as compocleggfoggy on www.lastofthesummerwine.net before the site got shut down. I discovered LOTSW on American public TV with an episode called "Sinclair And The Wormley Witches", and I've been hooked ever since. A shame the series got cancelled in 2010, but...
