Nigelnaturist - anyone know where he is / is he ok?

I used to love the fast show, even saw them live.

That must have been 20 years ago. Watched a bit of it this evening and it is just not the same. I find this with a lot of old telly. I recently introduced my teenage children to the Young ones which I thought was the funniest thing ever back in the early 80's when I was a youth. I didn't find it funny at all and the kids looked at me as if I was crazy having 'bigged it up'.

Maybe I'm just turning into a 'miserable old git'

While you two were productively discussing this, I followed @ColinJ cue and watched an episode of the fast show.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0078ndl/the-fast-show-series-2-episode-1

relevant joke appears at 5 minute mark

I had to finish watching it though, before coming back here.

think you are wrong about fast show and young ones. But Faulty Towers? Can barely watch that these days. What's funny about mental illness?

 

[Smokin Joe]

It's lovely you guys care. I've disappeared from forums over and over, and no one has ever noticed

Who are you, anyway?

Rose tinted glasses I think they call it. I used to love The Goodies, and remember being in fits of laughter at a particular scene with two of them dressed up in a cow outfit running across a field. I can't find that particular scene but tried watching an episode a few years back and was like "Why did I find this funny again?"

The Goodies was sh$te even back in the 70's!

Entertainment was far less so in the '70s. Still a great stride over the '60s, when the bicycle, a couple of dogs, and some chickens or rabbits were far more entertaining than television. Maybe not the movies, but that all depended. Hoping all is well with @Nigelnaturist

Send him a message and then he'll get a notification in his email account that you're looking for him.

Send him a message and then he'll get a notification in his email account that you're looking for him.

Not if he has the email notifications turned off.

Send him a message and then he'll get a notification in his email account that you're looking for him.

Or if he doesn't logon.

 

[Banjo]

Or if he is being held hostage by the umpa lumpas.

I am touched, just been busy, new pond which took most of Aug, a friends been diagnosed with kidney cancer and other prostate.bowel issues (not sure what yet), a new part computer build (mobo, new cpu to get yet).
I am overwhelmed by your concern guys. I have sort of kept cycling but mainly just as needed (transport).

Good to hear you're OK fella. Sorry to hear about your friend though, sounds nasty.

 

[puffinbilly]

Good to see you back Nigel

Its early days in the diagnosis, so don't know much. I don't have many friends outside of cyclechat (being a bit of a loner and all that).
