http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koE_e_LX4c0 I used to watch him when I was a kid...I don't remember what I was thinking but I have loved the game ever since. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkq6ZsYqd5o He still gets mad. LOL! "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." |

Those great days of shorty shorts. Isn't it strange how the men's shorts got longer while the women's skirts got shorter? I think there should be a campaign to bring them back in all sports. http://quantumofire.blogspot.com/ Breaking contradictions in his mind was, to him, like walking through a winter forest snapping twigs underfoot. |

Marzgirl, I usually loathe aggression and anger, but there was always something funny about McEnroe. I don't know what though. I never disliked him. He presented a quiz show here a few years back called 'The Chair', he was a very good host. Sadly it was cancelled after, I think, one series, which is sad because it was better than a lot of the mindless tripe we have to put up with now. |

We were talking about sweets by the quarter yesterday. Loads more variety I think than you get now. Anyoldhoo, another piece of nostalgia by courtesy of Youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4C6Pe86YE4 Did Brinsley Forde go on to be a singer or am I fooling myself? |

Yes, I remember the Double Deckers well, they were always on over the summer holidays. I still vividly remember the episode where they made a hovercraft. It was whacky but full of fun and imagination. And the slapstick is still fresh today. As for Brinsley Forde he went on to found the group Aswad in the 80s. http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinsley_Forde the truth is out there somewhere. http://quantumofire.blogspot.com/ Breaking contradictions in his mind was, to him, like walking through a winter forest snapping twigs underfoot. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDBAJhGoxSc This is not all that far into the past, only about 6 years for me. But as Hugh Laurie is one of your fine imports and he has no accent for his House character I had no idea he was from England. That is until I was flipping channels late one night and came across this program. I think I was more shocked to see him dressed this way, than to realize he was English. LOL!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5H0wUo37RY The above video is the reason my mom would not let me watch MTV when it first started. I had to sneak. Now MTV does not even show videos anymore. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adaYUM5wl7c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPgMTIgwS6s "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.

Silver spoons was never shown over here, but we used to have mork and mindy. How young does Robin Williams look in it? Younger than he does now that's for sure! Here is my most beloved kid's show from when I were a bairn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga23iSxyXO4 And another show which I loved: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVFcIJWe0zE |

Steve Martin just makes me laugh to look at. My three fave S Martin films: The man with two brains The last has the dual attraction of him and Michael Caine. Two best M caine films Zulu (Have watched it over and over again) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHLwVkOA9ic |

Oscar Wilde's Fairy Tales continue to exert the same pull over the imagination and emotions as they did when he first read them to his children in the 1880s.
