Heretical thoughts

'Allo 'Allo.

Not funny.

Also, Baldrick isnt so funny now he spends most of his time digging stuff up.

 

[marknotgeorge]

Are they?

pTerry says so. That's good enough for me.

 

[marknotgeorge]

That reminds me. Tolkien writes inpenetrable rubbish.

Nah. Smaug was the best ever on-screen dragon. Even better than the original Pete's Dragon dragon.

I haven't, actually, until just now. I've had to stop it five minutes in because it's so good i'd like to watch it with the children. Thanks.

Not got to the dragon bit though yet...

is this an heretical opinion? I was not familiar with the sketch ,but after 4 minutes I gave up, in agony. Seems very dated to me. Never spent much time with M&W, so I do not have an educated palate. Personally, I'd rather watch an episode of Man about the house

The Beatles are s**te

The Rolling Stones is just a noise to me.

Beatles or the Stones?

Neither - both are overrated

I hark back very little to England's "World Cup Glory" of 1966.






Also, chocolate isn't anything special.

Or Ivor the Engine.

A nice heraldic Welsh dragon, not a lumpen great Imperial dragon, IIRC.
