benjamin1945 16,139 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I RECKON my love of 'Only fools and Horses' largely stems from my own life during the time it first hit our TV screens,IE just moved back to Nottingham and struggling as a 'single parent' (just divorced) Grandad moved in with us and i also had/have a 'Soppy younger brother.Anyway with all my probs. at the time 'fools and horses' was a bit of escapism once a week,and it rang a few bells and made me laugh at my own predicament. Anyhow alls well that ends well and i met my very own 'Raquel' and we've lived happily ever after, (so far ) 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,427 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I watched the episode the other night where Rodney got dated by the wealthy heiress. They went to the opera and a shooting and dinner party at daddy's estate. I don't know if it's just me but Del's gate crashing and shear ignorance of any social graces was cringeworthy. I felt sorry for Rodney and the girl and was glad when daddy let him have it and chucked him out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,427 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 They (Alligators) are loose in the Okefenokee swamp in south GA. We went there one time and a bunch of them were laying around the restaurant/gift shop. Some wise guy started yelling they were all concrete fakes and went and kicked one. Folks were scattering in all directions when it got up on its legs and started to run at him while hissing. They are much faster than they look. LOL 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,427 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 We went to an Alligator/snake show while in the park. The guide said that even a baby Alligator a foot or so long packs a mean bite. I don't think Mrs Catfan would like that. :-)))) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 And thank goodness for that Freckles.During my sojourn running my pub in the isle of Ibiza in the 90s the mainstay of daytime entertainment in my bar was every episode from series one of "Only Fools" back to back, the next day was a series of "Black Adder", then "Open All Hours", before starting another 'fools' series, ad infinitum!Believe it or not I used to get quite a lot of people in for an afternoon cocktail or two on the pretext of "Watching some English telly for a change" (Most of them had only just got there too!)
