RIP John Ryan, who died recently. And here is Captain Pugwash.

DaddyPig said...: Hear hear; and cheers for Mary, Mungo and Midge too... I learned from the Guardian obituary that he once worked with Anne Wood, giving a line of succession to the Teletubbies.

There is, however a Siemans complex in Staines. Call em to see how they answer the phone.; July 27, 2009 at 11:14 PM
DaddyPig said...: Shoey, the Guardian obituary (link above) refers to that particular legend. But the German micro-electronic manufacturing is a new and amusing piece of info for me !; July 28, 2009 at 10:16 AM
GarethI said...: Seaman Stains and Master Bates were rumours spread by Victor Lewis-Smith. He also claimed that when Brigitte Bardot was on Desert Island Discs in the sixties, she asked Roy Plumley for a penis. He couldn't believe his ears, and asked her again "What's your next record?" "A penis," she repeated. "We'll come to your luxury later, dear," he muttered, before realising that what she was asking for was 'Appiness by Ken Dodd. A few years later, I found the same gag in a book of political quotes, attributed to a French ambassador's wife in the eighteenth century.; July 30, 2009 at 12:45 PM
Shoey said...: Love Victor Lewis-Smith. He used to do cut-up versions of the Queen's Christmas speech, but can't find a copy anywhere.; July 30, 2009 at 6:42 PM
