heheheh!
ReplyDeleteIt's a heavy price to pay. TBTG Tom and I were never in that rat race. Of course, working for government agencies takes another kind of toll, and we are both glad to be free at last.
DeleteThe Bee Gees music brings back happy memories of that era.Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteMy children introduced me to the Bee Gees, along with Three Dog Night and other worthies of the 1970s. My sons took Three Dog Night's "Joy to the World" to school for a show and tell of Christmas music, and the teacher advised that was not quite what she had in mind.
DeleteThis does bring back memories...embarassing ones.
ReplyDeleteWhen the sequel to this film, 'Stayin' Alive' was at the cinema (almost said 'picture house' there), some of the kids at a youth club I helped at had some German exchange students over who wanted to see the film. I duly helped organise a trip en masse and went along with about 40 kids, around half of them German. This was in the days when there was a trailer film rather than the 'Coming Soon' ads of today; we had all got settled, the lights went down and up on the screen popped an emabarassingly jingoistic documentary film entitled 'How the Spitfire Won the War!', involving fifteen minutes of German bombers and fighters being shot out of the skies.
I think I invented the word 'squirmish' about 30 years before Momma Palin, right after my wife asked "How was it?" when I got home.
Oh dear! How embarrassing. What was the response of the German boys?
DeleteWe went to the picture show in a movie house back in the day. We had short subjects, which were either Movietone News, a comedy show, and on Fridays and Saturdays a serial that ended in a cliffhanger that showed the sure death of the hero, only to have him/her back the next week after an impossible rescue.
"...serial that ended in a cliffhanger that showed the sure death of the hero, only to have him/her back the next week"
Delete"He didn't get out of the COCKADOODIE CAR"!!
The German boys (and girls) were...let's say 'bemused' and leave it at that. For myself, all I could think of was the classic Fawlty Towers 'Germans' episode. Well, I say classic; only 12 episodes made and all classics in their own right.
From memory:
German guest "Mr Fawlty, will you please stop mentioning the war, you are upsetting my wife".
Basil Fawlty "You started it".
G.G "No, you started it".
B.F. (voice steadily rising to near hysteria "No, you started it; you invaded Poland"!
I watched the show when it showed over here the first time and then the reruns. After that, bought the all the episodes on video. At times, I can recite the dialog along with the actors. To me, FT is one of the most hilarious comedy series ever. I still laugh out loud when I watch. It's a wonder John Cleese didn't have a real life heart attack in some of the scenes.
