Lovely to see Bill Owen (Compo in Last of the summer wine) 😊 Also Thelma thinking that the distance from Newcastle to Norway is only 100 miles away 😂😂😂
Always loved this as a kid and still do now. I know it was between series but Bob lost weight and got a haircut between the departure gate and the plane!
Things were different then, factory workers and sales exec's having pub lunches, with three pints and a large scotch, then the lads would be on the factory floor, driving forklifts, operating heavy machinery, and at 5.30, clock out, back over the road, three more pints and drive home for yer tea!
you just can't imagine this was made 51 years ago (1973) and is still as good today as it was in 1973 Susan does look very sexy i had a deep crush on her and Thelma i had a crush on both of them back years ago.
I remember when i started on the railway way back, everybody was drunk, driving trains with a carry out in the drivers bag, they were all functioning alcoholics, incredible more train crashes didn't happen, they drove cars to work drunk, drove cars home drunk, life was so different back in those days.🍻🍺
Des Kodur:... Ok, let's keep a sense of proportion, Terry gets the glasses and vodka out, and, by my reckoning, pours Susan roughly a treble, then himself not quite a double he drinks roughly a single in a couple of visits whilst Susan has one small sip. Then he tops them both up roughly a single each, by the time the fone goes, Terry has had just under 2 measures and Susan one small sip. Susan has 2, possibly 3 more small sips during the fone call, equalling no more than a single measure in all. By the time she gets in the car, she's had one measure, one unit, and the law (which obviously affects different people differently) suggests no more than 5 - 6units when driving (35micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath) Susan was MILES short of that, she'd barely had any!
You hope that just a set and not the high standards of BA back then haha! God that thing looks rickety 😆 PET is used abit OTT in this though that'd have drove me bonkers that! Well it has been all way through lol pet this pet that pet the dog n pet the cat! Lol
I call my wife pet all the time! And we live 350miles from Geordieland! I do it to annoy her (well, in my defence, I've had more than 25 years of her shite! Might as well have a little fun along the way, and I happen to know my calling her "pet" is like nails down a blackboard to her!)
@@michaelrawson6261 If you've had more than 25 years of her shite maybe it's time to call it quits. I'm sure she is more than delighted to live with a man that likes to annoy her in order to have "fun".
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
The fixation on Norway is fun to me...since I'm A Norwegian... But the jokes narrative doesn't fit the reality. Norwegian ski- instructors not worse or better than ex.swiss,french,Italians... Other than we're great looking and awfully skilled in the slopes...4 inches of snow Dec.29-2021... a huge disappointment...
. . . Is ' S o l f o n n ' still a ski 'resort'?.. Had a great first week school ( Overend ) ski-ing holiday there earl April '74. Great fun , great memories - thanks Peter Connolly , ' con man ' - best teacher ever ; gave me stick for years for remembering to take in my gloves of the balcony , late in the evening . My room was next to the chalet occupied by the two 'best lookers' on the trip . He made up the rest , the ribbing was relentless . Best of days .
