Bother, my analysis on useless TV detectives has been lost along with the BP archives. That was scholarly work. I seem to remember that Columbo may have been the best (on the basis of body count per solution). Tosh and Calder are heading the other way, up into Midsomer territory. Population of Shetland is less than 20,000 for goodness sake.

Enjoying the latest series of Shetland but more really lazy scriptwriting. Three episodes in and the body count has already reached 4 with 2 other close calls. You just know if someone falls over on a boat there’ll be a handy spike to go straight into their brain. Can’t see this one stopping at 4.

Tuffy was Tufty’s brother who met a sticky end when he went to France (think about it).

If you do want to check Count Arthur Strong out, it’s the radio shows that are comedy gold – the TV ones don’t quite catch it to the same degree. Understand this may be a bit difficult for most of you unfortunately.

Mention ice cream (vans) and I always think of this. Comedy genius. There is bit later in the show (which I can’t find on YouTube) where there is a car chase involving the ice-cream van. The ice-cream jingle is playing and as the van speeds up, so does the jingle. I almost died laughing as the van was hurtling round the streets with the jingle…[Read more]

Did anyone, ever, learn the Green Cross Code? I mean anybody?

Switching to a different kind of Test Match…
Australia were just thrashed by India (in Australia)
This just after India themselves were thrashed by New Zealand (in India)
Makes you wonder what might happen to England against New Zealand later this week.

I see what you did there. Your son’s glasses are a metaphor for the Nest. Or the other way round. It was 1975 when The Green Cross Code Man (a.k.a. Dave Prowse, a.k.a Darth Vadar) kicked Tufty’s butt real good. A Sith Lord versus a squirrel? Only one winner.

Another wretched Dr Who episode (12-7). I’m dreading them now but I’ve come so far I’ve got to try to make it to the end. Only about 12 episodes to go. I must have got through at least 130 so far.
Had to binge watch some stuff on Netflix to recover. The Queen’s Gambit was good.

Surely surely surely any Google search involving squirrels and road safety would have thrown up The Tufty Club. @hunnybunny, you must remember Tufty.

Do we have a bouncer?

Ditto @birdleader.
In a way I feel there is a legacy here to protect in memory of those that have gone before and are no longer here (Rat, Kathy…) but it’s easy for me to get sentimental when I’m not faced with the monumental hard work in keeping it going. We all know nothing lasts for ever – we just hope there’s enough sticky tape on the roll…[Read more]

Bad time to lose the BP back pages and the opportunity to scroll through 3000 of them. Or not as the case may bee.

Looks like you are off the hook @hunnybunny, I don’t remember you having a garage.

Question for the ladies. My friend gygle (name scrambled to preserve anonymity) wants to know who it was in the BP that used to bring out the hunky men in their garage for certain celebrations/parties. This is purely for research reasons and all answers will be treated with utmost confidentiality. Thanks.

I got an email containing a message from @birdleader to @steviep147 explaining that the Challenge will be down for at least a week because he is moving the Nest off it’s (sic) old dedicated server to a more modern cloud set up. Did you guys not get that? That’s probably affecting all sorts of things.

The nest is held together with sticky tape and some glue. Please will patrons of the BP desist from any vigorous movements. That includes all you lot in the booths getting up to no good.

Why this and not for more general Android use? It’s all very odd.

Anyone know what Angry Birds for Automotive is? It’s in the Playstore (as of June 2024) and the description sounds like Classics.
