Is it Friday Night Yet?

[Robert Lambie]

im not long home, cold long day. not particularly hard, just the sever cold winds and ice conditions make the simplest of tasks like measureing a shop front a bloody night mare. i.e. parked van next to kerb at a shop… about to get out the door and noticed the van moving… i was sliding "parked" into the car in front parked… we managed to stop it but was close.

anyway, home now, Rose wine out the fridge… some Itunes on, and going to get some online chores done now. 😀

Tonight I am mostly just sitting watching Alison put the Christmas tree and decorations up.

[Chris Wool]

see captain pugwash has just logged on

[Lynn Normington]

it must be Friday just had a delicious curry home made by Peters fair hands 😀

Lynn

[Martin Pearson]

That’s a myth Chris, that character never existed in Captain Pugwash 😉

[Peter Normington]

yes he did Martin
I believe Seaman Staines was based on your good self
😀

Only jokin 😀

[Martin Pearson]

Sorry Peter but your wrong, the other higher ranked character was based on me 😳 😳

[Peter Normington]

would that be the master then 😀

Peter

[Martin Pearson]

That’s the one Peter, don’t forget I live on my own now 😥 😥

[Peter Normington]

just for the younger viewers
who dont know what we are talking about

It’s frequently claimed that some of the characters in the children’s show
Captain Pugwash had somewhat suggestive names: "Master Bates", "Seaman
Staines" and "Roger the cabin boy". Not so; this is a classic urban legend.
The crew of The Black Pig were: Captain Pugwash, Master Mate, Pirate
Barnabas, Pirate Willy, and Tom the cabin boy. Several British newspapers
have fallen for this UL and were forced to print retractions.

It’s possible that, on occasion, the name "Master Mate" was slyly altered
to "Master Bate". In the episode Fair Exchange (BBC video, "Seafaring
Tales"), the final line, spoken by Pugwash, sounds like "I certainly did
Master Bate." Pugwash’s voice is rather indistinct, so it’s hard to be
sure.

[Martin Pearson]

Oh come on Peter…………… you don’t spoil a good story with the truth :lol1: :lol1:

I know people who swear those names were actually used even when they have been shown proof that someone made them up at a latter date.

[Peter Normington]

Martin do you remember

Torchy Torchy, the battery boy?

Peter

[Martin Pearson]

No sorry Peter, to be honest I don’t really remember much about any telly from my youth, mainly because my parents didn’t have a telly when I was small and as soon as I was old enough to go out to play I was never in until bed time.

[Peter Normington]

I see Seaman Staines has registered on uksb, so he may be a bit older, but still a plonker!

Peter

[Chris Wool]

clang the 1d has droped

[Martin Pearson]

It’s OK Chris, I knew what you were talking about, Peter’s a Little older so you have to excuse him

[Harry Cleary]

Just back from a small party to celebrate my Mum’s 80th….had to cancel a bigger party because of the weather! 🙁 🙁
She has been through the mill recently but is still as sharp as a knife!
Some songs and a poem my wife and I commissioned from a poet friend. Great fun, there is something special about seeing your own children enjoying your parents! A have a wee tear in my eye….or is that snow flakes… 😀

[Peter Normington]

betcha the next registered user will be master batin.
probably whilst looking at Seaman Staines.

I really should not encourage these sad people though.

Cripes Martin – you don’t look old enough to have family never mind a dog that’s 30 in dog years 😕

[Martin Pearson]

How’s my dog 30 in dog years ???

She is only 18 months old and by my math’s which is reasonable that makes her ten and a half.

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Rob I’ve never known you to be a sleeper!
😀
I had a hard time sleeping last night…too much fish sandwich and my hair smelled like the bar and deep fried food.
Not a good combo.
😳

[Robert Lambie]

:lol1: :lol1: :lol1: im not Jill, think i have averaged about 5 hours a night for the past 10 years! i dont know what came over me last night, but feel better for it today. 😀 im catching up on what i never got done last night, then i plan having a few drinks. 😀

[Jill Marie Welsh]

I know when I log on late at night (for me about 8-9pm) you’re always still here.
You must have caught up with the last decade of lost sleep!
My day will be spent with that last little bit of touch up paint.
Then I am not going to do diddly squat for a whole day!

[Shane Drew]

I’ve been trying to work this last week, but the big storms we have been having keep getting in the way 🙁 Had hail the size of cricket balls a day or so ago, made a right mess of my awning.

Its pretty wet here, though not cold…
