Hopefully one of these days he’ll be the victim of a trouser fire while he’s wearing them.

Speaking of Midsomer I see the latest offering centred around a drag show in the village of Elverton-cum-Latterly.Who writes this stuff?Russell T davies?

I’ll have that biled heid with a bilin’ o’ tatties.

They’re all gangin up on me “Help mah boab!”

As for your scholarly detective league table @desperate-dan I seem to remember Morse was near the bottom.Deeply flawed analysis.

Hey @karen68 I lived in Fraserburgh on the north coast for a time and they have their own lingo(Doric).Took me a while to get used to phrases like:

Agree with Dan about the radio shows but the tv series are well worth checking out on Prime or Netflix I…[Read more]

I reckon if Dave Prowse had done those road safety adverts as Darth Vader they would’ve been more effective.Zapping kids with his lightsabre who run across roads without looking would get my attention as a six year old.

Took the boy for what seems like his monthly visit to Specsavers today for repairs.He goes through more glasses than a clumsy waitress.His current pair were being held together with superglue and gaffa tape.My wife said he was starting to look like a young Jack Duckworth.(One for the kids there).

Pretty sure Tufty had a cameo in Life on Mars.

I remember him from the 1970s and Willy Weasel getting knocked down when running across the road for an icecream.
