Who are you calling a women mate? I will take your advice then and post on Gen. Discussion thread. Look in I will leave you an easy one. Sweet hostage? A young serving wench goes in search of her captive boyfriend. Name the film. This is the current Carry On question croft. Thanks Lone State...just kidding. You know of Carry On films? I had envisaged that they would have been as popular in the US as in my country and in the UK. Couple of dummies eh. You know how to delete PMs? No worries Glenn. I will keep playing. I do want some movement on my games from some members too. Q will take a look. My days are endless since retiring anyway. Never shown in the States? They made 32 of them from the late 50s to 1992. There is talk of two more to be made for a release next year. But nothing confirmed. Glenn i asked you on the other thread. Do you know of a way to delete PMs here? Found an O after quite a search. Olympia Dukakis (86) Forget it then. My second boo boo. I am trying to find a way to edit/delete PMs? Shirley MacLaine (83) Obvious that no one likes Carry On films. Rotary clothesline or Hills Hoist..one of the same.. an Aussie invention evidently. The incident of clothes icing up reminds me of an episode of UK comedy One Foot In the Grave. You could say that. He tried to lead me astray but I was a goodie two shoes. What about picture lollies. Mine will be different to yours I suspect. We had licorice flavored Choo Choo bars. Could such them for hours and left lips and tongue black as soot.. Chock coated orange Jaffas lollies (candy) that kids would roll down the aisles and chock chewy caramel Fantales that had a movie star bio on each wrapper. This hard stick like lollie that you sucked to a point then stuck the girls with it. The oddest item was a solid sherbet lollie that you ate while spinning it on a piece of string. I kid you not. So did mine. Often I heard her curse when the clothes got stuck in the wringer. Mums of today never had it so good. What about the disposable dunnies (you call them johns) . We also called then "thunder boxes" ha ha. A burly man would arrive once a week whip the metal container onto his shoulder and disappaear for a hour or so and when he returned you had an empty dunny. I too still line dry my clothes on one of the worlds oldest metal Hills Hoists. We have a built in dryer but for some reason we do not use it much. The wife only uses it for her intimate apparel. They are exensive to run. Gotta say I prefer air dried clothes anyway. Did not sneak into the drive-in but I got to watch it for free as my cousins place was a mere stone's throw from the drive-in. . Only problem was we could not hear the dang movie. Speaking of the movies me and a few mates had a way of getting into the flick for nothing provided we were not copped. We pulled a loose wall board from the side of the picture place and crawled in thru it. When the lites dimmed we would sneak to a seat. Took the manager a while to twig to us and he told our parents and there was hell to play. I was made to work for my ticket price after that. Ditto Glenn. And the breadman. Gotta funny story about bread. My brother was such a menace that he would go around to the neibors house, pinch and eat the doughy part of the bread and rewrap it for when the resident returned and found they had an emply half loaf of bread. I kid you not. He puts Dennis the Menace to shame.. Mum almost had kittens when he once hitched a ride on the postman's horse and was gone for hours.
