That's much nicer than the 'they lie in bushes/dirt/long grass etc...all sad and lonely til they rot away or get eaten by butterfly eating creepy crawlies'....that I was going to say  Like I said...the hormones today...pffft.

I think it is reasonable to assert that most TV programmes were pretty much of their time (except for Last of the Summer Wine which existed despite television not being even invented in the 1700s)..it might have been good then but watch it again now and apart from laughing and pointing at the funny hair/fashion/cars/furnishings (until you realise you'll be laughed at in 10 years time for the very same reason) they don't time-travel well. Best remembered fondly than resurrected (unless you are ITV4 that is)

 

 

That's me being profound for 2011

Tis better that you find out these things now Ditty.

 

I can't live a lie any longer!

 

How do you feel about Ever Decreasing Circles?

You mean apart from the urge to punch Richard Briers hard in the face if he 'corrects' the telephone receiver orientation again? ..nope...never seen it

You won't know what a great character ;Paul' was then?

The bodies..now I think Ducky needs to know aswell....

we probably write off dead butterfly bodies as very still hairy bugs all the time..   

 

assuming only their wings flutter off to butterfly heaven of course 

Awww there's noone left to mourn them....

GPS wouldn't work outside the orbit of the satellites because the navigation signals are transmitted from down facing (obviously)  antennas.

 

You simply have not thought this through!!!
