Brid - my fond memory is this... a brilliant summer season...

'64 and my parents spotted me with a cig in my mouth as I was collecting fares on the back of a bumper-car on the ride in Brown's Amusements.
It did not go down well being a 17 year old staying away for the summer for the first time.

Good job they never got wind of me waking up in a farmer's field just outside Driffield after a particular heavy drinking session - a bloody cabbage patch to boot.
Never found out what happened to the lass I was with that night !

The jukebox in the cafe attached to the Brown's Arcade was salvation...

Planned to make my first visit to Bridlington when I was last in Hull in 2010. Was part of a day trip to also see Bempton Cliffs, Goathland(I love Heartbeat), Whitby and Scarborough organised by my sister-in- law. Spent too much time at Bempton Cliffs, Goathland and Whitby(queuing at The Magpie) and as we had to be back in Hull for a family event had to miss out on Bridlington on our way home via Scarborough

My husband worked when a student in the 50's at a fish restaurant in Bridlington on the Esplanade(2 summer seasons) followed by a summer season in Scarborough. Yardley Tiger also worked with him in Bridlington for one summer season.

Never tire of watching the reruns - same with "All Creatures Great & Small". Wonderful earthy characters, and the scenery sorely missed.

It is currently on here 5 nights a week having started from the beginning a few months ago with series 1 to 7 and will end in a week or so. Watch it over the evening meal and love how the music from the sixties blends into the episodes. A favourite covers a foot and mouth event and a featured song by the Moody Blues.

The last overseas trip before retirement by my husband was arranged so he could attend the Heartbeat Concert held in Birmingham in 1986. Unfortunately I could not get away from my job to join him.

Seeing as we're wandering down memory lane, happened on this compendium of episodes of what I'd forgotten was a brilliant TV series.
If you have a couple of spare hours, lots of laughs & social history here...a slight tech blip at around 6:00, but plain sailing thereafter...

Brings back memories Nights in White Satin. Last time I saw the Moody Blues was in Oct '69 @ Leeds U.U. Sat night hop. They played most of the tracks from "Days of Future Past" - up there as one of the best live performances I've ever seen.
LUU was brilliant for getting quality acts, and were a favourite venue for many big acts.
Line-up either side of Christmas '70 is a sampling of the quality. Any wonder I stayed in Leeds for 7 years.
Happy days.

Finished watching The Pacific last night. Not ashamed to say there was a couple of times when I shed a tear. Excellent series to show how brutal the war truly was.

I rewatched that recently, it's very underrated. That scene where he is lobbing pebbles into the dead soldiers skull is a really haunting image, its the same actor who is playing Freddy Mercury currently in Bohemian Rhapsody

Just watched I Am Mother - cerebral sci-fi. movie, up there with Moon. If you have watched it, can anyone tell me what happened to the dog and what was the significance of the paper dog left behind for the woman?

Okay, I'll have a go.

The Woman was actually Mother's first project and was part of the exam for Daughter. We know that there were others before Daughter as the bones of one are found in the incinerator and the start of the film shows that around 40 years have past since Mother first cracked an embryo out which would make it the right age for Woman. Daughter watched a documentary about domesticated dogs and Woman complained that Daughter wanted to keep her like a pet. But essentially, Woman is Mother's domesticated pet, whom she uses to see if Daughter will be responsible enough to raise the new human race as Mother sees fit.

This was horrible to write and I'm sure it's worse to read!
 
Yep, I am with you.
The paper dog is to tell Woman that she is a "pet." A usable malleable commodity that can only survive by the dictates/whims of her Master = Mother. I was miffed though by the physical absence of the dog thereafter.
