Joke Opportunity----Take It Away!

[Roger Kettle]

Tonight for dinner, I had marrow stuffed with mince....

[dslex...dislex...confused]

There used to be a great jingle for those "marrow mince marrow mince...do de do de do...marrow mince marrow mince...do de do de do" [best I could come up with]

[Roger Kettle]

Murray Mints!!! Good Grief, that dates you!

[The Peepmaster]

My Mum used to do that recipe when I was a kid. She'd get a marrow from the garden, slice it up, hollow out the centres, stuff with mince (  ), and bake on a tray in the oven.

Murray Mints!!! Good Grief, that dates you!

No, it doesn't. He didn't remember that the 'do de do de do' was 'the too good to hurry mint(ce)'! 

[The Peepmaster]

If I was a supermarket manager, knew Mince was wanting to do this recipe, and saw him bending over inspecting the vegetable section, I'd grab a marrow and stick it up
to twice the normal price.

Wow vulture that could make you older than me [or at least means a better memory], and technically older than me doesn't actually involve walking the earth any more...

Yes, I have a fairly good memory. In the days of Murray Mints there was only two television channels and we kids used to compete to see who could sing an ad all the way through. (I had a deprived childhood!)
No, I very rarely walk the earth: car or bus.

So it was just me who was singing:
 "marrow mince, marrow mince,
riding through the glen...
marrow mince, marrow mince,
with his band of men..."

?

Yes, it was. Most of these youngster never had the pleasure of seeing Robin Hood in black and white.

I thought he wore Lincoln Green.

I thought he wore Lincoln Green.

Only if Lincoln was free that day.

Black and White telly...then you used to know it was true...maybe we should have a top ten B&W movies of all time, my suggestion would be Robert Donat [forgive if spelt wrong] in "Mr Chips"...if I wasn't such a masculine fellow I'd admit a tear or two for that one..but naturally I used to watch it whilst eating an entire deer...raw.

The thirty nine steps

Was The Thirty-Nine Steps in black and white? The first one I remember seeing was in colour and it starred Kenneth Moore.
