"The Upin Arms"

There you go, JH1980.

Youve been admitted for a probationary period.

I expect to see lots of moaning about the writing on things being too small, instruction manuals being useless, youngsters all being feckless, cost of everything these days, not being able to program/operate technical gadgets, etc etc

Collect your correspondents note pad, trilby (with "press" ticket in headband) from the reception.

"The Principal of Wooton College has to put up with Jas, Ollie, Matt, Chloe and DK five days a week. Her compassion and tolerance is severly tested, but like most sitcom authority figures, she appears to have a will of iron, and an unlimited capacity for masochism."

Kinky!

 

Ok two points -

1) What the F&%k is a Blu-Ray, and why did we need another "improvement" on the video cassette?

2) Touch-screen phones. I can't do anything with them! REALLY annoying! My fingers aren't as nimble as they used to be...

 

I can't do touch screen either.

 

And don't forget the muttering unitelligable nonsense ala Muttley off Wacky Races - yashinfrashingdickdastardly....

Mind you, you are probably too young to remember Muttley

 

Sacrilege!

Penelope Pitstop may well have been my first crush

 

Slag. She was blatantly at it with all those little blokes in the car.

 

You mean "the Anthill Mob"

Ha. Glorious days. Then there was "deppity dawg" - "muskie" and "vince"

And of course....Rainbow! Wonder what happened to all those 70s childrens TV entertainers :

 

PP may have been a tramp, but at a young age I just thought "ooh pretty cartoon lady"

Of course I now realise that had she driven into Trumpton she would doubtless have been nailed by Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb!

 

I wonder if TLC can remember any of this. She was talking about "old old skool"...unless she means one of those reunion things where she goes in her old school uniform

 

Does anyone else remember Number 73?

I swear no one I know remembers it, and I'm beginning to think it was a dream.

Neil a scouser and Sandi Toksvig were the presenters.

 

Sandi Toksvig? Wasn't she that Danish or Norwegian bird?

Don't remember No73 though. What was it about?

 

It was like an early version of Going Live, a Saturday morning kids show with competitions and stuff. If it was a dream, it was vivid, becasue I remember the address was Camden Lock......

 

Dont say I'm not good to you sometimes.

Cheers mate.

Thank God for that, I have had some weird crushes in my time, but I was hoping I hadn't been dreaming about lesbian, feminist dwarf Sandi Toksvig!

 

We've all been there (I hope).

 

Congrats TLC. Does this mean I can keep telling my "married bloke" jokes then?

 

Congratulations TLC

 

I really hope god is not a woman. Not only will I go to hell, I won't know why.
