Gracie Fields
« on: April 01, 2010, 11:49:39 PM »
Just watching a bio on TV.

That "Wish Me Luck As I Wave You Goodbye" rendition has haunted me for years. I love the high notes she reaches.

Not very "rock-and-roll", is it?
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

I wonder when that will make it into a strip, Roger..  ;D

I found the programme quite interesting and it aroused great feelings of patriotism.

In much the same way as when World Records are conquered, keeping this nation great:

Geordie claims record for wearing most underpants

That looks eminently beatable to me. I'm going into training... after I've gone into Marks & Spencers.
I apologise, in advance.

That would surely be quite painful, Vulch, and would look stupid.  ..0

I accept there'd be less weight to carry, but I'm sure the boffins behind the world record attempt will have eliminated thongs as an appropriate clothing item.

Oh, and the guy with 211 underpants on didn't look stupid.....?

Just having 211 pairs of underpants on doesn't automatically make you look stupid, does it? It depends how you carry it off.

Let's keep an open mind, please.

Rather depends on whether or not they're Y-fronts, doesn't it?

I wish I too had an 'applause' smiley for that gem. You should be a cartoonist or something.
