New owner confirmed…

They aren't. Laurel and Hardy were much loved by the public and remain popular.

 

Always good for a finish Balkan... maybe we could get people to post songs that could or should be in the Allams farewell tour ! Anything by Bad Company ... Good loving gone bad maybe.

 

Can't Get Enough would be a good choice.

 

I went in some supposed fashionable (in a hipster sort of a way) eaterie recently in New York and whilst we were comfortably the oldest people in there, they were playing Laurel and Hardy films on a loop on the wall. Quite good actually

 

Can you imagine the Allams being loved and popular in 100 years. Or any ****ing time really.

 

I like Laurel and Hardy

I see i was a bit late with this

 

It’s all in the timing Kemps !

 

Apologies

 

Tbf they will never be loved by any of us and rightly so, but I'm sure there are families out there that will forever be grateful for the fact that some of the donations of money/equipment and one of a kind treatments that Allam snr's donations have funded or made a reality at castle hill etc have kept a family member alive

 

Good point mate. I should remember that it’s not only about football.

 

They were doing that in Welly club 40 years ago.

 

Weep no more.....Simple Man....Gone gone gone

 

In terms of slapstick comedy they are!

 

Me Dad saw Laurel and Hardy at ABC. I think he said ABC anyway.

 

Cryptic?

 

It's probably a Morrissey lyric.

 

Apparently Nigel Pearson is a huge fan of Laurel and Hardy - I'm told that he used to show their films sometimes at training sessions. I don't think he held the Allams in the same esteem.

 

They appeared in Hull twice. 1947 at the New Theatre and at the Palace Theatre on Anlaby Road in 1953.

Was an article about their British tours in the Telegraph not so long back.

Time for a twirl....

Have they gone yet? I don't mean L & H.
