It’s interesting that you say “ more permissive days”. Alf often mentioned Mary Whitehouse and things like nudity and sex were far more restricted in those days, but anti semitism, racism, homophobia were acceptable. Today it’s reversed. Nudity and sex is acceptable on TV , but if you are accused of being a transphobe, homophobe or racist you will be cancelled in a heartbeat ! Sargent Major “Shut Up “ calling the concert party “ poofs” would never work again ! Cheers.

I apologise for what may have appeared as a sarcastic comment, it wasn’t meant that way, and I agree it was meant as a satire. I for one see it in a completely different light now as a “ grown up” than I did back then as a callow youth . Cheers.

Jim Davidson has a show on YouTube. , it’s very good. Cheers.

You mean he was an actor ??? Quell surprise! LOL ! Cheers.

I’m watching a lot of the old repeats but I think Alf Garnett in both versions of the show is a bit dated now, still funny but not as much as it was. I like It Ain’t Half Hot Mum, still as hilarious as ever. Rising Damp and Porridge are still great , and of course Only Fools And Horses are timeless classics. Rab C Nesbitt is just insane in a funny way ! Cheers.

My brother and I were ferreting a bit of permission he had, and a sandal and sock wearing shithouse came by and started berating us while his border collie was chasing the cows around the field. My brother gave him the stare I knew would ,and had in the past landed us in a bit of “soapy” and told the bloke “ get that dog under control and f**k off before I bury you both in this hole I’m digging “ ! The bloke beat a hasty retreat while shouting he was going to ‘phone the police. This was before mobile ‘phones so I knew I had a while to calm my brother down , get our gear together a

You’ve got a fairly wide choice mate ! You shouldn’t lose any sleep over it ! LOL ! Cheers.

That immediately brought to mind an episode I’ve mentioned on here before; My brother was walking his terrier and lurcher when the terrier squatted for a shit. A woman driving past stopped and jumped out of her car and started shouting at my brother “ I hope you are going to pick that up !” My brother stared at her with those dead eyes you associate with a mass murderer, picked up the dog shit with his bare hand and smeared it over her windscreen ! The woman went into hysterics and my brother walked away. He wouldn’t wipe his hand on the grass until she was out of sight

Family should NEVER try to teach each other to drive ! I tried once or twice with my wife but was glad to pay for lessons in the end ! Cheets.

Two old pals of mine, Captain Ron Edwards and “little” Jeff Dickinson, built a boat on the Red Sea in Saudi and sailed it to the Philippines and bought one of those small islands with the intention of starting a Dive School. They soon found it that it wasn’t as easy as they thought, having to boat in water, food, fuel, supples, building materials etc. and it fell through. Jeff headed off to the Florida Keys and joined a gold diving salvage team and was in the film “ The Gold of the Ochatya”. I got a call from his ex wife a couple of years ago to inform me he had hung himself from the m

I got a box for my mothers uncle who was a retired marine engineer. His name on the box and each individual cigar. Im sure I saw his eyes moisten as he looked at them and I’ll bet he was thinking of his time steaming around the South China and Andaman Seas….. Cheers.
-
Not quite; the houseboy used to bring me a box back every time he returned from leave, and I don’t even smoke, but nice to have for guests ! Cheers.
-
Mackem, I’m sure you’ll recognise these; Monogrammed cigars from the Philippines. Cheers.

I like to consider myself a “sophist”, in the original Greek meaning of the word, certainly not in the modern interpretation, although I’m sure there are a few modern sophists on here ! LOL ! Cheers.

LBJ….. True story; I stayed in his log cabin in Fredericksburg Texas . Cheers.

Your omission wasn’t an oversight, mate. As the majority of my intended cast could be best described as far right with Fascist leanings, there was room for only one token Bolshevik and that was reserved for young Hull, he just pipped you because of his lovable , childlike, humour and naivety. We’ll keep you resume’ on file, don’t call us….we’ll call you . LOL ! Cheers.

I knew him quite well when we were teenage mods, and we once swapped Lambrettas. We lived very close but drifted apart in our 20’s, he went to London to find both fame and fortune, I went to live and work in the Middle East , not finding fame, but made a decent life for my family and myself. He often mentioned his early pals in his various programs and he mentions my mother and my late brother in law in his autobiography, and his tv shows. Cheers.

So I’m Dennis then ? Wilf is obviously Wayne. mC is Barry the know it all. Greyman is Bomber. You have the choice of Moxey the Scouser ,Oz the Geordie or Neville the sensible one ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
Fixed that for you mate ! Cheers.
-
Wilfy, get me, mC , Newkid, and Greyman over there. We could be the new Auf Wiedersehen Pet, we could film it . I know nothing about building but Jimmy Nail was my pal and I’ve got a great Geordie accent so I could probably bluff it ! LOL ! Cheers.

Syria issues directive to Intelligence and military units to dispose of all hand held communication devices ! Cheers.

Hand held radios exploding according to reports . Cheers.

Breaking News! Missiles fired from Lebanon into northern Israel and immediate retaliation by Israel with explosions in Beirut and the Bekaa Valley. Looks like it’s escalating. Cheers.
