Rachel,

Thank you for your troubles this evening. You are a star. I deeply appreciate our friendship (blubber blubber).

Here is a present!

Oh I just so love it! :pedro:

I used to really really love this show and wasn't there a cat with strpies called spot??? I'm singing the theme tune as I type...

I also rather enjoyed Grape Ape and Bailey's Comets - what utter ****e I loved as a kid - no change there then!!!!!

Take care and see you soon - MAD weekender watch out!!!:mand: :mand: :mand:

[Nonnie]

Surf these little gems!

I don't remember either if I'm honest!

[eonan]

I absolutely loved Phooey..."Was it the Janitor? Could be..." :mand:

[benson]

I remember Grape Ape totally - it was ****e! Bailey's comets was a ridiculous series about a round the world skating race - also total ****e! Great things we (I) used to watch as a kid... VERY 70s - really trashy... Now **** dastardly and Mutley - that was a different class altogether!!!!!:cool:

[benson]

Thing is I am now humming the Hong Kong Phooey theme tuen and will shortly be reduced to seeing if I remember then whole thing......Or searching for the words!!

[Nonnie]

Now I do remember Wacky Races. I always wanted to be Penelope Pitstop. Oh the superfluous glamour of it all! Protect me from the Hooded Claw!

Could be!

Hong Kong Phooey, number one super guy.
Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye.

He's got style, a groovy style,
and a car that just won't stop.
When the going gets tough, he's really rough,
with a Hong Kong Phooey chop (Hi-Ya!)

Hong Kong Phooey, he's fan-riffic (gong!)

[nik_the_brief]

Was the voice for Hong Kong Phooey.

He was also the janitor (spooky coincidence huh) who spotted the fact that Jack Nicholson's son in The Shining had 'The Shining'.

I used to use HKP as my avatar a couple of years ago on here funnily enough.

Armed with only a purple hat and a white overcoat concealing a variety of strange secret weapons, SS rounded up the most fiendish villains in the world (including Yellow Pinky - named after Goldfinger from the Bond films). But while James Bond escaped from capture by using a laser embedded in his watch, SS used a far more hi-tech approach, a pair of scissors he had hidden under his hat.

I am so proud o call you all friends - our amassed intellectual functioning has confirmed all that I at first just thought....Well done for the lyric Nonnie - I particularly like the (Hi Ya) which I have to say is a bit of a miss piggy!!! Now - while we're at it waht does Fan-riffic mean? I have a clue but it's not printable!!!!!:cens: :cens:

We missed you...

[Nonnie]

We saw Bensons school of motoring in Great Yarmouth last week.

It's a conspiracy I reckon, to take over the world by driving mostly.

wot? no photo!

[benson]

I am astounded by the genius that surrounds me - hurrah for monsters - I personally think it was something in the water at Heacham last year that has transformed us into super beings!!!!! Invasion??? Maybeeeeeeeeeeeee:eek: :eek: :eek:

[benson]

By the way - I'm on TV later - 7PM BBC1...

"You're on a TV quest for the Holy Grail, so who do you send? Paxman? Palin? No, perky, wide-eyed Richard Hammond (me me me me me me!!!) from Top Gear, of course. He (no - SHE I'll have you know!!!) sets off around Europe for this engaging if lightweight look at the Grail myths. I'm sorry to tell you that Hammond does not, in fact, find the Grail. The last shot of the film is not him (how many times - HER!!!!!) pulling a bejewelled goblet from a secret crypt and raising it to the heavens. No, as you'd expect, every trail he follows comes to a dead end. But he (she for feck's sake) certainly uncovers some intriguing medieval stories along the way, including the sad tale of the Cathar heretics of southern France and their bloody end.

[Nonnie]

wot? no photo!
Phone died sadly.

As for the Holy Grail stuff, I wonder if he (Oooops sorry, SHE) is a member of Opus Dei? Or in your case Rach, Opusly Lost!!! Yes, that's replaced Invasion, the bastards. I need to move to America where they might have series 2 showing. I was soooo bored last night without it. Big Brother? I don't think so. Sooo doesn't cut the mustard over here in the heartlands/wetlands/fenlands.

And anyway, the Cathar Heretics? Are they like the Knights Templar? They were cool, sort of.

Knights Templars? Funny you should mention them, my old man is head honcho of said group, he has a sword and one of them white tunics with a big red cross and everything. He does look a bit like one of those chav flags that are currently flying from cars when he's in his regalia though.

[Nonnie]

Chavs Templar. My neighbour is currently flying his periodic patriot from a pole in his back garden ffs. I mean, I can view it from my study. This is not what I had in mind as I sit here with my gooseberry and fresh coriander chutney, is it? IS IT???

[benson]

Chavs templar and the search for the holy nova and mysterious alloy...

Nik the brief - first you know too much about who sang the hong kong phooey song :rolleyes: and then you admit to your dad being a knight!!! :idea:

I mean - I wonder what other secrets you have? :idea:

That avatar for instance - it's you really isn't it???:chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Meanwhile chav flags are everywhere - my neighbours and I reckon that we ought to sew two sheets together and get a red can of spray paint to spray on the cross then wrap our houses in our very own chav flag - beat that huh huh!!!!:nash: :nash: :nash:

Meanwhile watch that coriander and stuff Nonnie - is it legal in Norfolk???:booze:

As for it being legal in Norfolk, apparently it is as is felching.

[benson]

Now that's worrying.....:cens:
