Started a new show called Outsiders about hillbillies in Appalachia going up against the local town, only 2 eps in but seems decent
I don't think they do, the hicks invade the town on quad bikes, empty the local walmart and leave a little carved wooden bird as payment But their mountain is full of coal so the local authority wants to evict them and mine it
I'm older than ya'll think: my daddy fought in WWII and he loved Dad's Army, so I watched it as a kid, though the earlier episodes were before my time, too. My daddy was 45 when I was born and I was the baby of his daughters with big gaps between us, hence why I'm so hip now I was weaned on WWII. There were rumours years before he passed in 2006 about another Dad's Army starting up and he wanted to join! The TV series is NOT **** it's funny and you don't need swearing and **** to make it so. Keith Lemon is funny; Little Britain is funny; but they rely on swearing etc. No ****ing need!
I didn't think Dad's Army was a patch on It Ain't Half Hot Mum, and I too am old enough to remember both.
Why did he piss you off? Did you know his cousin was Ethel in Eastenders?! and he was made OBE to boot.
It Ain't Half Hot Mum was good but it grated in places. Loved Gloria, Sergeant Major, Lofty and La-di-dah Gunner Graham but the rest were pale for me. DA even had extras who could act like Private Sponge! It was nothing to 'Allo 'Allo, the spoof on Secret Army. Absolutely loved that and me dad, who was captured at Arnhem - he was in the parachute regiment - roared with laughter at it.
Wow, your dad was a Para at Arnhem? respect. My dad was towing gliders in his Stirling. Said the only time he was really scared in the whole war was the second day of Arnhem when they were waiting for them, but, as he himself pointed out, he was only dropping them there and could fly away - they insisted on taking their gliders (or simply parachuting in) to certain death/capture, as by then they knew they were surrounded by a whole Panzer army that was rotating in the area. Must have been hairy being a POW in Germany in the final months as all law and order disintergrated.
My sister had an operation to take her's out. Like a tosiliectomy of the arse. N othanks. just eat less iron
See Batman v Superman is getting an R rated version for Blu-ray.. Interesting..do I wait for that instead of cinema release?
Yeah, me dad was at Arnhem, captured during Operation Market Garden. He was in 156 battalion, put in a POW camp after being taken prisoner (don't exactly know where, he never used to say much though I asked; painful memories I suppose) I know he escaped by strangling a German guard with his helmet strap. He was ashamed of that, but he also said it was the duty of a POW to escape. He said the German guards were OK though, human beings not Nazis. Apparently, the South Africans were hated more than the Germans, they liked to grass on the Brits. He died in 2006.
Hard men - hard times. A former colleague of mine in work was the son of an SS soldier who was captured in North Africa. He settled in this country after the war and was loved by all those who knew him. I wouldn't have wanted to get in a fight in the car park outside the pub with him though. Hopefully he'd just put me out with one punch. My uncle, too young to serve, was a guard in N Wales at a POW camp there. Said the Luftwaffe boys were always bragging that they knew the way to Liverpool at night time as they flew up the Irish Sea from Brittany and all the way there and back there was navigation lights (not just city lights) along the coast of the Republic to guide them there.
Isn't it strange? My hubby is two years older than me and his dad was too young to fight in WWII; his granddad was a civvy prisoner in Changi because he was the manager of a plantation in Malaya (where my fella's Mum was born) as he was taken by the Japs. I'm too young to remember the Beatles though my dad served in WWII! Just a late baby the youngest of four girls; an accident, and actually, the only son Mum and Dad had (tomboy! ) Before the paras Dad was in the Liverpool Kings. He was a soldier from age 15 (lied about his age) until he left the TA sometime in the 50s. I wonder about Klopp; evidently being German he probably has a family history in the war. If my dad were alive now he'd be out for his blood!
