AlanHo Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I went to visit a friend this evening - we sat at one end of his lounge for a chat whilst his wife sat at the other end watching TV. She was watching a soap called Emmerdale (or something like that).I happened to glance at the screen and was amazed to see Gandalph with 'is 'at on - sitting at a pub table with a couple of rough looking characters.I trust Irene didn't see this - it might put her off........................

Gandalph Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Well it is a very distinctive hat.Wrong Gandaplh I'm afraid Belatucadrus. I think you are getting mixed up with Gandalf from Lord of the Rings. Mine is the Scandinavian one and also one of my Christian names. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would appear to be a misunderstanding on the translation of Gandalf and Gandalph. Thwack here. Gandaplh is still me when I type to fast. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 All this attention to the spelling of Gandalph is a red herring to divert our attention from the fact that our friend appeared on Emmerdale - I saw him and his hat. It's a jolly good job Irene doesn't watch it or their romance would have at best stuttered and at worst foundered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 The last time I watched a Soap, it was Coronation street in black and white at my Grans house probably about 1970 and Ena Sharples was in it. I've been a long long time getting over it, but I think I've recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I do not scorn those poor souls who need to watch that trite and banal nonsense that is poured out under the generic name of Soap.I feel desperately sorry for them. They need help, and probably counselling. They must have desperatly impoverished lives if they find it at all entertaining or interesting.

catgate Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I saw a little item 'en passant' this morning, wherein Bruccie was being defended from the accusation that he is "a has-been".I almost wet myself. He is really a leading "never was". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 While not a Brucie fan I'll admit that the man's talented. He did a special some years ago with Sammy Davis junior and that was two cracking song and dance men firing off each other and having a whale of a time, it was surprisingly very entertaining. It's just sad that his skills in that area weren't marketable, while being a corny game show host was, and apparently still are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
