Hunter shit himself though for an 'hard case'

[Terry de Niro]

Fridges, larders...what next..Colour TV's?
and don't get me started on Christmas.
If you didn't wake up in our house on Christmas morn with a hard on, you had fuck all to play with.

BIG time... Go 'ed, Franny lad..

Bunch of fucking snides that Leeds team was then.
Sure they could play, but there wasn't a genuine hard case amongst them.
Bunch of snidey jackals, as was proved with the Keegan v Bremner 1974 Charity shield sending off.

Good for Franny he owned a toilet roll and tissues factory, so he cleans up anyway!

[Mutton Geoff]

my gran had a larder kept her bottles of guinness nice and cool, we were posh we had a pantry with no guinness though!

Mackisons - purely as a tonic

[Zappa]

Probably been done earlier.... but there's a reason so bear with me.

Remember going to the Saturday fleapit and watching all the serial films - the one I remember most was Jungle Jim.

Every week he fell to a certain death off a high cliff or something similar; but when you went back next week some improbable (and often illogical) set of circumstances had occured and he'd walked away without a scratch - until the end of todays episode.


Well I was just wondering

The guy who played Jungle Jim - was he called Hodgson?

[pewithree3]

Went to Leeds, early seventies and we got beat 2 - 1? in an F.A. cup game,
sausage batch in the greyhound stadium behind Elland road, big and lovely.
Alan Clarke tried to nutmeg Tommy Smith by the corner flag but Smithy just
kept going and ran Clarke into the iron railings in the corner. Expected him
to be chipped, there was murder but Smithy just smiled and stood his ground.
Few minutes later Clarke tried to run through with the ball but Smithy went after
him again. The snidey bastard started having a go at others but Smithy
pointed a finger and said a few words which quietened him down.
Mick Jones, Madeley and Reaney were okay for them.

Yes it's our Roy alwight

[Dr. Beaker]

I was at Leeds once, early seventies. It was a dead tense match. For some reason I can't remember anything about the game (even the final score, or who even won!) other than it was one - nil for someone at this particular time in the second half, the tension was immense and then a pantomime cow somehow managed to get on the pitch by the half-way line. I don't even know who's side the cow was on, but I've got a good idea.

[SmithdownAndy]

Oh well see the 9th best manager in the world is begging for his job, more like he's getting his excuses in early the auld get.

I don't know whether it's just me losing me memory but I can't remember it even being this bad under Souness, maybe I've just blocked that out me mind cos it was bad under him, the 2 games that do really stand out though was the Cup Semi's against Portsmouth, now that 2nd game at Villa was awful but I still don't reckon it was as bad as that Wolves game last week.

I know we had that odd bad game under Rafa and sometimes he'd frustrate the fuck out of ye, but fuck me this has been all fucking season long, surely it's time for the trigger to be pulled, pay him up and ship him out, then get ye bullet proof vests on cos there'll be a shit storm from the press.

Larders and pantries were things you'd see in TV programmes about posh people.  We had a cockroach and mice infested dump in Edge Hill with a back yard and an outside bog.  When we moved to Speke in 1964 it was extremely upmarket to us.  With no exagerration whatsoever I remember feeling all dizzy when we got near Speke on the first day as it was the fist time I'd breathed in relatively unpolluted air, as it was the southernmost tip of the city with woodland and farms nearby.

Unfortunately my folks missed the old crappy area we came from for some unfathomable reason so we moved back to Wavertree - the arse end, off Picton Road - with yet another back yard and outside toilet.  I moved down south in 1973 and my folks didn't get an inside bog until a few years later when the housing association moved them out for 6 months (to live actually on Penny Lane itself).  We always dreamt of stuff like larders and pantries!

[Dr. Beaker]

This larder/fridge business reminds me of an old episode of The Beverley Hillbillies, where Ged encounters a freezer for the first time. He's in the kitchen with Jethro, opens up this cupboard (the freezer) and dumbfoundedly pulls out this huge chunk of frozen meat.

"Well if that aint the foolest thing", he says to Jethro, "Fancy stowing food agin' a north wall".

we had a cockroach infested fire place no matter what we did couldn't get rid of the buggers

mainly came out at night when the sneeky bastards thought you weren't looking - remember coming down first thing in the morning putting the light on and seeing loads of them scurrying about

then having to go over and make the fire, hearing their scratchy little legs trying to  hide - not that it scarred me for life or anything - hate em - them and goats

We absolutely loved that programme.

Elly May is now 77

[Dr. Beaker]

I always thought Elly May got murdered by Charlie Manson - don't know where I got that from.


PS How the bloody hell did you dig that out.

She'd have battered Charlie Manson.

Sharon Tate appeared in some of the Beverley Hillbillies. Possibly from that. I think she was also in some Petticoat Junction episodes.

....PS How the bloody hell did you dig that out.

Sorry missed that bit.
I had a vague recollection it was in one of the first episodes so took a guess it was when they first moved in to the mansion.
Quick slide through it and I found it.

Especially with that double-barreled slingshot.

The Film 24 Channel (Sky channel 157) shows the Beverley Hillbillies throughout the day (it's on right now as I type this).  I stumbled upon the first ever episode last week, which was quite a treat.  The channel also shows Bonanza, another classic series from when I was a kid.  Also shows ancient episodes of the Lucy Show

I've just a peep in the transfer forum mate, and noticed you're a mod there.
What sins have you committed to deserve that punishment?

I'm beginning to think I need someone to request a Novena for me.

I used to love Christmas Day when I was a kid.

There was always one of my Dads big woolly socks hanging on the end of my bed and inside a packet of gold chocolate coins, a tangerine, a couple of dates wrapped up in tissue paer and a toy.

I remember getting a doll one year.  About 12" tall,  its head, legs and arms were all kept on by elastic bands and it had a red and white stripey dress on.

I thought it was brilliant.

Then after one of our many arguments my brother cut through all the elastic bands 

[Pheeny]

a tangerine,

we always got one as well about the only time of a year we saw fruit unless it was what we'd nicked from some ones apple tree.

[Jagged Princess]

Me too, never got loads of presents but what we did get we appreciated and looked after them.

It's just not Christmas without tangerines, even today

Away from Christmas, did anyone enjoy sport at school?  I loved it and was in the school hockey and netball teams and I always loved running.  I remember one hockey match when I got whacked on the shin by some girl, god it didn't half hurt and I know I shouldn't have but I got my revenge, I chased her right down the pitch and whacked her back.
