I remember that. I had to be quiet when it was on. Oh, and The Forsyte Saga too!

I read the book when I was a teenager If I remember correctly it was a bit naughty
My brains hurting trying to remember these things from the past

WHAT TIMES THE RUGBY ON?


EDIT Just went into the kitchen Can’t remember what for because Z Cars suddenly popped into my mind.
Think I need to lay down in a darkened room

 

[Andy in Germany]

Clearly your cooking is improving.

I admit it: I was showing off.

Same here ! I was looking for a mini 1275 when I spotted a Sprint for sale . I didn't tell my wife what Sprint meant . It was an early 1974 reg model in French blue . It's very rusty .

Mine was 1973 and yellow, my uncle, from whom I inherited it, had to wait ages for it. He originally wanted one with overdrive, but settled for the standard. He didn't do many miles in it, I think it had something like 1200(0?) on the clock when I inherited it.

It drank carb damper oil faster than petrol.

I have no idea of how or why that boat sailed directly into the wind, btw.

Sunny, blustery and nippy here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept really well, face looks like a smacked bottom, but at least it's stopped feeling like someone's constantly drilling into my ear.

Sat here writing and watching the curling. Oh, and I have ordered a bottle of Roket card glue.

Who can forget, Sooty, Sweep and Sue, then there was Lenny The Lion, I cant remember the blokes name, then there was the Flower Pot men, Rag tag And bobtail and the Wooden Tops.

Lenny The Lion was Terry Hall.

I think after that saga came " The Fugitive !" A one armed bandit was seen leaving the scene of the crime ! "Will Dr Richard Kimble be able to clear his name ?"
Life was so exciting in those days !

The guy who plays the one-armed bandit is Andreas Katsulas, far better known for his roles as G'Kar in Babylon 5 and Commander Tomalak in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Definitely Grandstand on a Saturday afternoon

I'll add Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, He Man - The Masters of the Universe, Thundercats and Cities of Gold.

And Grand Prix on a Sunday evening.

 

[Reynard]

And I forgot... 'Allo 'Allo on Saturday evenings and The Big Match on ITV on Sunday afternoons...

 

[Reynard]

Seem to remember the bypass hose was at the back of the engine on the 998, having had to replace one in the dark on a hot engine one Sunday evening as I was on a course and had to drive back to Leafield from SE London. On the way down, I stopped because I could hear a hissing noise. Then I realised it was because the road was wet.

Yep, and putting a rubber glove over the distributor cap to stop the water from getting in and causing misfires...

Did Simon and Garfunkel do them for copyright infringement? Clear shades of ''Feeling Groovy'' (49th Bridge Street Song) in there.
(Looking at the dates, it came too late for me. I was already into girls and underage drinking....)

Lenny The Lion was Terry Hall.
