The Heinz Kruger Palace of (57) Varieties

[SupermassiveLBD]

Strangers are friends you just haven't met, yet. Even when they are baddies and drive science-fiction-y submarines, wearing a smart grey lounge suit.

But one...not buttoned !

They are pretty cheeky though, Spiro...

Is Lee Evans one of these nouvelle vague kind of comedians? We ex-pats tend not to get anything more sophisticated than Benny Hill, mind you.

Imho Lee Evans is extremely juvenile, OTT and sweaty - but he is very popular on the whole.

DD is a total minx for answering back at the moment. Fortunately she pretty much saves it all for me!

Anyone else seen this little gem on Twitter?

Well, YT has just enlightened me, Spiro, and you are so right about Mr Evans.

Lee Evans is very like Norman Wisdom. I went to see him live a loooong time ago - poor man must be almost as geriatric as me - and the whole act seemed to be an hommage to Mr Wisdom.

Girl likes swimming and always seems pretty good to me (certainly better than I was at the same age) but quite a lot of her class have been going to swimming lessons since they were babes, as one of the local schools has lessons in its pool at weekends. So, in this aquatic hothouse, she had been consigned to the bottom group but has now been promoted.

Are those Disney pics genuine or photoshop? -- I have not watched princessy stuff for years and years, Disney or otherwise.

Ah, too slow. The story of my life.

They look a bit fake to me .

::Disney avoider::

In that YT clip every other word he used seemed to begin with ''f''

They are from Cinderella, Maud.

Yes, that was the only one which looked at all likely to illustrate what I was trying to say. There was a lot of gurning and falling over - some of which you could see in the Bohemian Rhapsody clip. As for the language, he's old enough to know better.

::Cries havoc and lets slip her inner Hyacinth Bucket::

Blimey. obviously the Royals decided to have a joke on us, then, Spiro! And we've only just twigged on.

We should have known when we saw the Enchanted Forest.

Oh are they, Spiro? I have managed to suppress the memory. ::wink::

Talking of havoc, Maud, that's why I like those Bernard Cornwell books, they cry havoc quite a bit in those.

Mind you, it's a bit unpleasant for the peasants.

Have just had another look - the ugly sisters pic is from Cinderella. Am.not sure the top one is even Disney on closer inspection.

Ah yes, Bernard Cornwell.

::Thinks guiltily of her unheard audiobook and fears being rusticated from the Academy::

I've picked up this Bernard Cornwall from our bookswap.

You haven't neglected Uhtred of Bebbanburg, have you, Maud?

All that talk of cheekiness earlier inspired to send this little gift to Spiro. Hello cheeky.

So BC is writing as a bird, here, then, Spiro. Interesting. I like his Harlequin books, there is a baddie in those that is a perfect part for a tall dark brooding man with a hawklike profile....

No, I've neglected eek I can't even remember the name it's so long since I played disc 1 ::rummages:: ::finds it under the sofa with mouldy satsuma and slightly crumpled gas bill:: Venetia.

::Tenders resignation from Academy::

Maud, only students get kicked out of the Academy for cheeking the lecturers

The staff have life tenure, so just plonk yourself down on the cheese longoo and relaxez-vous.

Besides if Mr thornton comes round and finds you not here, he will have words with us

I think he's writing with a woman rather than as one Massive.

Ta muchly Maud! I guessed the pic before I opened it .

Off to bed now anyway - sweet dreams!
