My good lady and I are off to York this weekend for a night at the theatre. It's an adaptation of The Railway Children and has had rave reviews from the broadsheets. Interestingly, it's being staged at the York Railway Museum and features a real steam engine. OOO!!! Needless to say, we're making the effort because my pal, Colin Tarrant, is in it. The man has obviously gone downhill since voicing Beau Peep in the ill-fated animation series so I like to offer my support.
Anyway, I'll probably be absent from here, Friday till Sunday, so any burning issues/life-changing questions should be posted immediately.

Hope they let you pull the whistle Cassy Jones.

You're just showing off, Roger. I have actually heard of him - don't know many famous Brits these days. Know in the sense of recognise, that is. Don't know any famous ones either. ;D
-
Oh gosh! Except for you, of course, Roger. :-* Have a good time in York.
-
OK quick poll. Of all the men who are members on this site, is there any of you who can watch the iconic 'My Daddy!' scene from the Railway Children without it bringing a tear to the eye? :'(
Honestly, if I were an actor required to cry on cue for some show, I'd ask the director to show me that bit on DVD before they said action.
I'm filling up just thinking about it....
-
Honestly! Do you think, Zesty, that there's one bloke on this site that will admit to 'a tear in the eye' for anything less than a sledge-hammer in the b@ll@cks! ..0
-
To be honest, Zesty, I can't even remember the scene you're talking about---it's a long time since I saw the film. But there ARE films which get to me. I was virtually inconsolable during Mr. Holland's Opus. Good Grief, man, I used to sob quietly during episodes of Little House On The Prairie.

Home again after a splendid night in York. The play was hugely enjoyable, with the audience sitting either side of a railway track and a real engine puffing in and out. An amazing production and well worth the five stars awarded by The Guardian critic.
Socially, we had a great time as well, meeting up with Colin after the show for a few drinks and a meal. We were also joined by Trudie Goodwin (she was June Ackland in The Bill) and her husband, Kit, who turned out to be a smashing couple---very friendly and unassuming. My ignorance of the current pop scene means that I had no idea their daughter is Elly Jackson, the lead singer of a band called La Roux. I'm told they are a jolly successful beat combo.
Anyway, back to work...
-
We went to Pizza Hut. :(
How the other 'arf lives.
Anyway, back to work...

Did Colin ask after me, Roger?
Do they still go "Eee" in York, as in "Eee bah gum"?
Personally, I'd bar that kind of silly exclamation.
Yes, I'd have a York "Eee" bar.

Oh, dear, Peeps. You really should continue taking the tablets as prescribed. <-

Now, I'm not technologically minded so I dont know how to embed youtube clips and stuff, but if you follow the link, then you'll see it. Just make sure you have tissues handy...

PS, did Colin Tarrant play Bernard Cribbens in the play?

Okaaaaay, so it seems I dont need to be technologically minded. The internet fairy works wonders.....

Yes, Mince set it up, but you might make him get big-headed.

Can't talk. Sobbing.

Try typing instead, Roger.

I went to a rodeo on Saturday - now if you had seen where those bull riders were stamped on, that would be reason to sob. It is a very strange culture.
-
I think that annoying cattle is a very silly sport. I wish they would leave the poor bloody cows alone.
-
I would hardly call it "sport" - big silly sods with cowboy hats annoying cattle is more like it. I blame the country music.
