Well, I didn't get any work done, but I did chase a pair of partly-clad nurses down the street, along with a policeman, meter reader, postman, cab driver, and newsagent, so it's all good.

WTF is it with Americans and Benny Hill?

I have no idea. I certainly can't stand him.

Me and friends luvvvvved Benny Hill when we were kids. It had something to do with the promise of seeing titty. I think we saw a momentary flash of breast in one episode and we came back each week in hopes of seeing more.

That and the groin blows.

"I've got a lovely pair of coconuts!"

Argh, does it never end?

Hm, I just have an uncontrollable urge to pat my bald head repeatedly...

But that tune really swings!

Are you people DENSE? Do I really have to EXPLAIN it to you? See, the nurse is bending OVER, and her dress FALLS OFF! And then, Benny WINKS at the camera, and makes a move for her panty-clad FANNY. But, just as he's about to GRAB her, he lets off a huge FART! And she catches him! See? How can you not understand that?

I still can't sit through any of the "Carry On" movies, though.

O'Really does have his fans. When we last visited my wife's 9,000-year-old great uncle, who is otherwise a terrific fellow, but a little bit around the bend, it was quite comical watching him repeatedly grasp his large-print edition of O'Really's book and start to wave it at me, obviously about to launch into a familiar diatribe, only to have his still very compos mentis wife put her hand on his arm and tell him gently, "no dear, we don't want to talk about that". He did this several times. It was almost cute. If you can't give the elderly a little slack, you don't deserve any consideration yourself.

Crap. I've mis-slogged. Apologies. Must be getting a little elderly myself.
