I'll be accused of being homicidal but - if you choke a Smurf, what colour does he turn?


I know I am sad but I am still laughing at this gem!!

Ah well, you can't say I didn't try!

doing it now!

yes Ann thats a good idea
coz i dont know how to change the title anyway lol
Rosex

shall I start a new thread called childhood memories and leave this one as it is?

Go on then Ann
i love listening to other ppls memories
Rosex

wasn't meaning to blow my own trumpet there with the word "brilliant" - just that people seemed to like it

I've got a brilliant childhood memories article - very long - I'd have to try and copy and paste of our local website - it was used in an exhibition in our Cardiff Central Library when they had wartime memories of Cardiff running! Want me to try?

Rose - how about "Childhood memories" for a title?

Owt you like as long as it doesn't mention bears or refer to that joke or have any racist connotations! lol

Ann lol
i feel better knowing that now too
Rosex
Ps Jeanette have not got a clue what to change it to

and the fourth member of the panel was Ghislaine Alexander - there I feel better now!

I didn't see the joke but I did see Ann's thread saying that she had removed it and I knew exactly which joke she meant and the inferrances of that joke. People then went on to say what spoil sports some people where. Did anyone stop to think why these people might have been offended?

As you didn't see the original joke and there is nothing offensive in this thread I can understand you not wanting to delete. So how about a change of title for the thread? C'mon I'm trying! ;-))))))

PS. if this thread goes woosh it's got nowt to do with me!

Just remembered - Barbara Kelly - married to Bernard Braden!! Knew I would remember it - she used to wear what were considered to be outrageous earrings - not these days I suppose!

Hi Jeanette

i just thought i would say sooty is yellow ,after reading a thread that went whoosh,
and i mentioned about other oldie tv programmes and asked ppl to add which they have , also im glad i did because reading anns post as made my day .
i wont be deleting if there is anything bad on this thread then im sure gr would be happy to delete it .
Rosex

Sorry Rose, I'm going to have to have my say! ;-)))))

My OH was sent this joke in a text the other day. When he told it to me I didn't laugh as I found it somewhat racist and un-pc for this day and age.

Can we please accept that some people found this joke offensive and not deride them for their views. And could I ask you Rose please to remove this thread so as not to carry on the bad feeling.

Thanks for listening

In 1953 [I was just seventeen] HRH got crowned and that's when we got our TV. First people in the area to get one - no we weren't rich - Dad had been in a horrendous motor-cycle accident [he was a pedestrian who was knocked down] and he got massive compensation for his injuries - so the TV arrived! The day of the coronation our house was full of relatives and neighbours. We lived in a two bedroomed cottage in the middle of nowhere - Mum made masses of sandwiches and gallons of tea and it was like a massive party. From then on I supopose our lives changed for ever. Only one channel, BBC which didn't come on air till 6:00 with newsreaders dressed as if they were going to an important function and speaking in very clipped accents. Programmes were few - and shut down was around 10:00 pm if I remember with the Natonal Anthem. Always on a Sunday night was "What's my Line" with Eammon Andrews hosting and the panel were Lady Barnet [who later committed suicide], Gilbert Harding, a grumpy old man, Barbara somebody who was married to Bernie sombody[!!] and a lady with a French name, memory's going! This was always followed by the Sunday play which was televised live so yo could be sure of a couple of mistakes. House always full cos everyone in the area gravitated to our house. The interval in the play had subjects like I described earlier and was long enough to make tea and sandwiches. We also sat in the dark to watch!! This was a regular Sunday night occurrence until gradually others got their own TVs and then programmes started earlier in the day and finished later. Long time before ITV came on line and we were fascinated by the advertisement - "You wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent" - how naive and innocent we all were in those day - but lovely times nevertheless. I'll try and think of more if anyone is interested - See ya!! Love Ann XX

I would just like to say that this thing about Sooty started out as a Racist Joke..to which i found very Offensive..and to which lairy admitted to not seeing

Crougar, I had one, a big cuddly one. Guess what his name was? I loved him so much, and I gave him to my littlest sister after I got married, when I went overseas to live, as she was heartbroken that I was leaving her.

Love
