In the late 40s and maybe very early 50s, there was a comedy radio show. I’m trying to remember the name of the show and the comedian. All I can recall is it started with jungle drums and short monologue by the comedian which started, I think: “down in the jungle” and ended “whippit quick”. Nothing to do with football, but it may take a few minds away from yesterdays result.

Yes, I got my replies mixed up. “It’s all very confusing, really…” this from the Goon Show, spoken by the announcer after the credits had been read out. I don’t know why I’ve added this. Just seemed appropriate, somehow…

Appropriate of nothing… I can remember when the Hood was sunk. My mam, my sister and her boy friend were sat around the fire chatting and I was in my pushchair, watching them.. Suddenly the music stopped and the announcer gave what I think was an update. They all went quiet and became very solemn. The silence lasted a minute or two, and was then broken by my mam - “I’ll make a pot of tea”. I didn’t understand what was happening at the time until I asked my sister a little later. I’ve often wondered since if a cup of tea was the salve for every disaster of that terrible time.
Sorry for this - my mind wanders often into the past these days. I’ll climb back into my box!

Did you have a friend called Jules?

I seem to remember “I’m Jules and this is my friend Sandy”.
Not sure which show that was. And of course it never occured to me that they were supposed to be homosexuals. I don’t think I was even aware that such people existed. :emoticon-0109-kiss:
