I've only just found this thread and can't believe that no one, as yet, has corrected "Leg of Lamb" to read "Lally of Lamb"....teehee!!

Good find

Watching The Prisoner episodes at a set time, like it used to be in the good old days of real telly, has been quite a good experience - I may try to listen to RtH at two o'clock on a Sunday afternoon...

And then spend all day at school on Monday analysing it....

Today being Kenneth Horne's Birthday, I took advantage of the National Holiday and went to RAF Cosford for the day. I was originally intending to go to Claverton Manor, near Bath, as he had been the commanding officer of a barrage balloon unit there during the war (even though that sounds like the start of a sketch). Unfortunately, Claverton Manor is now the home of the American Museum in Britain and it's not open until next month.

Anyway, I got to see an Argosy again, which still has the nicest 'face' of any aircraft.

On the way in, I noticed signs offering directions to the 'RAF Regiment Breakfast' - I chose to avoid following them, of course. I can't imagine what it would look like...

Today's featured article on - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page - celebrated the great man's birthday.

A Bank Holiday in my house.

I was wondering what to do after reading the hospital thread to cheer myself up. I think along with opening another bottle, listening to a couple of episodes of RTH should do the trick.
