trogg 2,002 Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Remember the Lone Ranger?. Any truth that the lone ranger was convicted for the murder of Tonto when he found out that " Keymo Sabee" translated to big head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,377 Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 A TV cowboy started one of the biggest rows I ever heard my between my parents. My mam wanted us go out for the day and call for crisps and lemonade on the way back. Dad said no, when asked why - '" Cheyenne is on telly later". Like the old joke, that's when the fight started.

Never heard of Whichwhat before, or if I did I don't remember them, so I've just spent ten minutes working through their stuff on Youtube. Anyway, it's too hot for anoraks today. Just found this. Whichwhat were one of Nottm's 'top' bands in the late 1960s. We booked them into the 360 Club numerous times. They also 'covered' Gimme Gimme Good Lovin' which was a big hit for US band Crazy Elephant. I recall it getting one play on the BBC Sunday afternoon chart show. I think it was just for a change as the US version was in the Top 20 for a while. Whichwhat also did a pretty decent version of 'Why Do Lovers Break Each Other's Hearts?' which if I recall correctly was first done early 1960s by Bobb B Soxx and the Blue Jeans, but didn't chart here. When Whichwhat played the 360 their lead singer, whose name escapes me, would do a very creditable version of Edwin Starr's '25 Miles'. I believe some of Whichwhat's own stuff and album material is now seen as 'classic British Psychedelia', along with the Nerve's 'Magic Spectacles'. Other 'top' bands of the time would include 'The Clockwork Toys', 'Carl's Fables', 'Pete and Billy Campbell and the Mighty Sparrows' and no doubt others I can't recall at present.

FLY2 10,108 Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 All soaps tend to be a bit political in some way, but what is worse is the way they portray ridiculous lifestyles as the norm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,533 Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 From what I've seen of these soaps (Mrs P watches some of them) it seems most of the so called actresses just strut about showing off new fashion clothes Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,071 Posted November 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 Last night I watched the story about facing fears it was A W Lymn's a very well know undertaker in Nottingham. I know another member has posted about this myself I thought it was an excellent piece of work. It gave us all an insight into what happens at the Funeral Parlor. Well done BBC 1. Now how many members watch the soaps? Emmerdale if you don't watch here is an up-date one of the actors in Emmerdale has just found out that he has "Parkinson's"" as I have had PD since 2010 I just found his (Eric Pollard) acting excellent as he trys to hide what he has and pusher's loved one's away, I am going to carry on watching it and see what the outcome is.

MelissaJKelly 2,120 Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 As soon as I left home my knowledge of the soaps went downhill. My Mum used to watch them all! Since moving out me and my partner barely have the TV on. We prefer conversation and music as opposed to the TV 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Annesley Red 80 Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 My Missus and Sister in Law visited Emmerdale recently and they loved every minute. Julie got her picture took with Cain Dingle, I don't think she loves me any more Quote Link to post Share on other sites
