With us being on top of the PPE production for the first time in 3 weeks, I can put my attention to something else for a change!  So, I'll be spending the next few hours carefully checking and cleaning up 100's of Japanese figures for production moulds...!

Banzai!

Doing all that lot its more likely to be wanting  to commit Seppuku:D (Please Don't)

Here's how some New Zealiand ladies are getting through it

I hope they realise a lot of NZ now knows where at least one of them lives

I recognised my old home town pretty quickly and one of the shots includes a fairly obvious landmark

Good on them 

I don't want to know why all four have matching ABBA outfits

That's really good to hear - on both parts.

The celebrations for Captain (now honorary Colonel) Tom provide a moment of pleasure during these diffcult times. Thank God common sense prevailed and the Spitfire and Hurricane flypast was allowed to go ahead. Not only has he raised a phenomenal amount of money, but still going strong at 100 is amazing. It has cheered me up today and I hope others too.

YEP !! 

Cheers - Phil

Yep that was a real good one. He deserves the honours he has been given.

I enjoyed watching it on the NZ news first thing this morning.

Well done, that man

Hear, Hear !....

I look forward to the Beeb's re-run of the Blankety Blank* show he was in. Recorded sometime in the eighties, apparently.

* A rather silly quiz show, for those of you who don't live in the UK, or are too young to remember.

Just a TAD understated there Phil !!

Well....It was done on the cheap*....and the prizes weren't a lot of cop.

Cheers - Phil.

* Now THAT'S an understatement.

What was worse was it was originally presented by the absolutely awful (other opinions are available- but not from me  ) Terry Wogan

The worse things are that a) when it started there were only 3 channels to choose from, and b) you almost certainly only had one TV in the house.

So if your parents wanted to watch Blankety Blank - and it was on at prime-time in the evening - you had the choice of either watching it with them or retiring to your bedroom.

What about Les Dawson and Larry Grayson ?
