Hi Pen,
I have now watched the two series we talked about recently.
Porterhouse BlueThe YouTube quality was quite adequate. I agree that its objective is satirical and it does that quite well. I appreciated bits of it rather than enjoyed it. Part of my problem might have been that if they had not been such nasty people, I would have been on the side of the new Master and his wife. I fully supported the changes they were trying to introduce. But then perhaps I don’t have the understanding of what it is to be an English Gentleman.
Blot on the LandscapeI quite enjoyed this one. The copy I got was just by googling the title and finding a site
dailymotion.com which has all six episodes. The picture quality was very good. A lot of the action was over the top but when it came to the end of each episode, I was looking forward to the next. I wouldn’t say it was one of my favourite series but definitely worth a watch.
Last night we had one of our worst storms for some time. Driving wind, hailstones mixed in with snow and two inches of rain. I think we missed the worst because we didn’t find any damage whereas there were reports of widespread damage reports from elsewhere, mainly to roofs. The ice from the hail was still on the ground in shaded areas after midday today – some 18 hours later.
We also got a phone call to say our photos had been published and that we are to have an open house at 1.30 pm on Saturday (tomorrow). So, at last, we are underway.
This is the lounge/dining area after their styling
Back when clubs and pubs were allowed to open, Blue was having a couple of beers with Sergeant Bookham (Sarg) in the Bowral Golf Club. Sarg told him that earlier in the week two prostitutes were riding around town with a sign on top of their car which said: "Two Prostitutes -- $250.00." Sarg, seeing the sign, stopped them and told them they'd either have to remove the sign or he would take them down to the police station and charge them.
Just at that time, another car passed with a sign saying: "JESUS SAVES." One of the women asked, "How come you don't stop them?!" "Well, that's a little different," Sarg smiled. "Their sign pertains to religion." So the two ladies of the night frowned as they took their sign down and drove off.
The following day Sarg noticed the two ladies driving around with a large sign on their car again. Figuring he had an easy arrest, he had just pulled them over when he noticed the new sign which now read: "Two Fallen Angels Seeking Peter -- $250.00."
He told Blue all he could do was laugh and let them go on their way.
That’s me done for the moment. I’ll try to get back with a puzzle after I have had some liquid sustenance
