Aw, bless the little kiddies...

Rosie:

Yeah, that's the sort of thing I was thinking of.... And yes, Sam, one of the ticket sellers at lunchtime sighed that someone was bound to try and come dressed as a Nazi... There's one in every year. Not nazi, but eejit.

Waffly, not history, but archaeology, so I suppose if you're interested in the cultural remains of 10,000 years ago, a decade or so last century isn't so much. But I did point it out at lunchtime when I got my ticket and they all sighed "yeah, that was Andy" in a tone that implied that 'Andy' is lovable, but clueless...

And I have ascertained that there will be Glen Miller. Unless the CD disappears mysteriously.

Ahh Andy. Andy puts on a good party, such crazy parties.

Hmm. Sinatra (mainly 50's/60's?), Crosby (the same), Rat Pack (ditto), Champagne (huh?!), Marilyn Monroe (60's again), Fred & Ginger (20's/30's!),
Audrey Hepburn (50s/60s). Nice one. They've put up posters with pics of Sinatra (see above) and Indiana Jones (all set in the 30's).

Sinatra: Anchors Aweigh (1945), On the Town (1949) and others from 1942 on;
Crosby: Road to Singapore (1940), Holiday Inn (1942), Road to Rio (1947) etc;
Fred Astaire: Broadway Melody of 1940 (1940), Ziegfeld Follies (1946), Easter parade (1948) etc;
Ginger Rogers: Tales of Manhattan (1942), The Barkleys of Broadway (1949) etc;
Marilyn Monroe: Ladies of the Chorus (1948).


I hope you're not marking their exams...........



A tisket, a tasket, a brown and yellow basket,
I took a letter for my mommy on the way I dropped it

I know it was from immeadiate post war but (while clearing out a house recently) I discovered my VERY EARLY childhood Ration Book, with pages unused.

Arch, so you won't want my original 10" vinyl of the Glen Miller Story?

How about a box of early '40s plastic singles of Artie Shaw, Spike Jones & His City Slickers etc ? I feel a trip to the attic coming on.

If I let slip I had painted my legs with cocoa, some wag would want to check by licking them...

Im not a wag!

Ahem....whereabouts were you thinking of painting the cocoa?

 

[Tim Bennet.]

Ahem....whereabouts were you thinking of painting the cocoa?

If I let slip I had painted my legs with cocoa

I think there's a clue in there somewhere.

 

[laurence]

this could be the only incidence where cocoa kept people awake.





(i was going to say kept them up, but thought better of it)

 

[Cycling Naturalist]

this could be the only incidence where cocoa kept people awake.

Will I be able to sleep tonight with the thought of Arch's cocoa encrusted legs in my mind?

 

[Fnaar]

I'd have a Horlicks if I were you, Patrick....

 

[papercorn2000]

I think you'd make a very fetching 'Rosie the Riviter' Arch!

Or better still 'Jane'

Is this what you were thinking of?

(How do I insert the actual picture into the text?)

Mind, when I typed "Jane" into image search, some of the results were SOOOO NSFW!

Give me Arch's cocoa flavoured legs any time.

 

[Arch]

Ahem....whereabouts were you thinking of painting the cocoa?

Well, in the kitchen probably...

 

[Carwash]

...which is mildly surprising, as 'Jane' doesn't make the list.
