    Actors in WWII

    Reading another thread I'm fascinated by the stories of actors who served in WWII. I knew Canadian actor James Doohan (Scotty of Star Trek fame) had served but was surprised that he was part of D-Day. A whopper of a story here. https://www.junobeach.org/canada-in-wwii/articles/james-doohan/...

    December 2023 Summer Wine book?

    Didn't know if anyone had seen this. I've seen a lot of "travel" ChatGPT-written books sold via Amazon print-on-demand. This one seems to have a similar tone (although the preview read is interesting)...

    BBC Shop

    Just received the latest catalog from BBC Shop. No sign of any DVDs our intrepid heroes. Sigh. I think the lads should have gotten into the crime solving game by looking at the popular offerings. In an alternate universe which LOTSW characters do you think would have made for good cop / bad...

    David Lander

    Always known for his role as Squiggy on Laverne and Shirley but I'm always surprised running into samples of his non-Squiggy work. Fun fact: The actress playing Rhoda's sister would later find fame as (the voice of) Marge Simpson. : )

    Are you a Yankee? You might be and not even know it.

    From American writer E.B. White. To foreigners, a Yankee is an American. To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner. To Northerners, a Yankee is an Easterner. To Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander. To New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter. And in Vermont, a Yankee is somebody who eats pie...

    Just stumbled upon this radio episode

    Asking those in the area. Accurate, funny (in a good-natured way) or mean? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b03tt50t
