It's mad all these girls/boys clubs faded away - you met people from other schools.
Some of the roughest some of the kindest - it was a common bond 
I don't think anyone turned on me 
Some nutters though

Exactly 
When we moved house I left that Scout Group as it wasn't functioning as a scout group. I didn't bother to join the group in my part of town as I had become fed up. Having said that the local scout group would have been a much better group ans is still going strong nowadays.

If the BBC can headline this with "All baa myself", then I'll add "Ewe'll ever walk alone"

@slimfern you might like BBC Two's film this afternoon at 13.20 - "Designing Woman" (1957). It's a romantic comedy, not a film noir and stars Gregory Peck as a sports journalist and Lauren Bacall as a fashion designer. I think it's the sort of comedy that Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn made..
Will be on iplayer afterwards.

Yep. got BBC2 on already 
Thanks for the heads up El

Actually, it was quite a fun film...chaotic, but fun
Somewhat different to Gregory Peck's previous film which I've never seen. Based on one of the most famous novels ever written, one of those novels which, unless it was part of an exam syllabus, I suspect most people haven't read the whole book.
The film was directed by John Huston who adapted the book with Ray Bradbury, not that the film was a science fiction film.
You will probably know what the film/book was when I tell you the first line "Call Me Ishmael"
Orson Welles did a 2 act play which he sort of adapted from the book. The first production was in 1955 in London. I'll list the better known people who were in that play as it was quite a cast. Besides himself, there was also Christopher Lee, Patrick McGoohan, Joan Plowright and Kenneth Williams

Moby Dick
Not a book we had on our syllabus.
We did however do 'To Kill a Mockingbird', which he starred in
As you say, quite a cast...a real mixture at that

Peck was perfect in "To Kill a Mockingbird"
I thought I would list the cast of that stage adaptation as it's quite something
Kenneth Williams did quite a lot of stage work. The wiki article for him mentions that one was a West End revue called "Share My Lettuce" The article says that his did the revue with Maggie Smith and that it was written by Bamber Gascoigne.
@Moonie posted:I see Cheltenham Town won today El
Yes, first time they've won away this season. Still well and truly in the relegation zone but have moved off the bottom. I had wondered if they might beat Port Vale who have only got 1 point from their last 5 games whereas Cheltenham have got 7 points from their last 5 games.
The Cheltenham manager had been sacked by Port Vale back in April so he was delighted to win today

Hopefully that first win be the first of many and you will eventually be climbing up the table
Thatâs a good coincidence for your manager El

Slim, a couple of possible films on the Talking Pictures tv channel.
On Thursday at 15.10 a rare opportunity to see the British 1931 film "Sally in Our Alley" which was a comedy/drama/musical and I think the first British musical of note. It was the first film of Gracie Fields who was one of the top British film stars of the 1930s and in 1937 the highest paid star in the world. The film includes the song "Sally" which became her best known song.
Next Sunday at 22.05 is the more serious film "A Child is Waiting" (1963). Burt Lancaster as the director of a state institution for children with emotional difficulties or learning difficulties, Judy Garland as a new piano teacher who challenges his methods. A worthwhile film but not particularly entertaining.
Velvet, the film has Gena Rowlands in as well, who I believe is your favourite actress.

Thankyou El
I wouldn't say Gena Rowlands is my favourite actress, not sure I have a favourite tbh
She is very good though

I'm much the same, can't say that there's any actor or actress who because they are in a film, I make a point of watching the film. It's more a case of do I want to watch a particular film rather than who is in it.

Am guilty of not watching something because a particular actor/actress is in it

The exception being actor/comedians such as Buster Keaton, the Marx Brothers, Laurel & Hardy as they are what makes the film.
