Brief Encounter

This is one film I'm sure I've not seen but would really like to:



And here's the Victoria Wood parody on the BBC:

Home Levitation

How to levitate!
Easy: the foot furthest away's going on tiptoes. Arms whooeah-hooeah!!~ing enhances floaty effects...

WHY I LOATHE CANNABIS: THE MOST BORING BORE'S DRUG OUT

American 1960s Antidrug Propoganda

THIS IS CLASSIC! Purloined here from't Australian Heroin Diaries blog...

Ultralight Trike Flight

THE BRITS and Kiwis call this "microlight" but because everyone else understands it as "ultralight" I defer to the common comprehension...

... isn't this a fantastic video. The view!!

Wicked Witch of the West telephones ad

I LOVE THIS advert for extras by the Orange mobile phone network...

Miracles in Birds

Microlight and Geese

I've seen pictures of gooseflight from the goose-tamer's perspective (isn't it hilarious the way they honk-honk as they go?) But this is a first from the microlightist's point of view...

Microlight Flight

THIS is something I've ALWAYS wanted to do so bad... In fact it's one of my life's ambitions. If I go to my deathbed without at least having done this once, if not many times and owned the gear (a far better type of gear to own than the one I'm used to...) then I shall have failed...

Talk to FRANK: Nasty Cannabis/Spliff/Puff/Weed...

THIS IS WHY I LOATHE CANNABIS: THE MOST BORING BORE'S DRUG OUT THERE:...

Sleep Disorders

Here's a half-hour film (from America) about sleep disorders... which I haven't seen all of (I nodded off..!)

Norma Stupid on The Price is Right

WOW: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS: I've actually found the original game show presented by the original Alan Partridge..! (Lesley Crowther.)

This is one programme I vividly remember right down to the first episode (and what chav-tastic 80s hairdos on the women!!)

Norma Stupid was such a legend in her own lunchtime that her name "Norma Stupid" has been a catchphrase in my family ever since...

Opening Bit of First Price is Right 1984

Even the chime from Central TV brought back memories... of Findus Crispy Pancakes... and a time when ITV still meant Independent Television ~ about 14 companies independent and interdependent upon one another, pouring home-made programmes into a common pot, of which Central was just one... How of course ITV has 4 channels (and dropped their news channel, even though they still, by government mandate HAVE to make newsprogrammes every day... worst of both worlds if you ask me. In it's heyday ITN News At Ten with Alistair Burnett and Pamela Armstrong was THEE evening news. They always did longer features on Princess Diana and showed more interesting stuff... now the BBC rules and ITV are trailing miles behind even Rupert Murdoch's Sky.l..



Norma Stupid shows what she's made of

Hum Di Chuke Sanam ~ Nimboda

संगीत सोमवार

From the film Hum Di Chuke Sanam, which means "Straight From the Heart"

The song's called "Nimbooda" and is about "sour lime"... "sour lemons"... some sort of intellectual subcontinental metaphorical allusion...(!!)

This Indian "Bollywood" style music purloined from TutTut's blog

Efterklang Caravan

Not as visually funky and nowhere near as good in tune as Mirador, this also purloined from Let Nature Be...

Efterklang Mirador

Visually very much more funkier and musically a bit better: what oddness! From Let Nature Be blog...

The Price of Heroin
