Type-type, I fear! I am covered in embarrassment (and perhaps also chocolate), my only excuse (feeble though it is) being product unfamiliarity, since they don't seem ever to have had deep-fried Kit-Kat in Scotland...Originally posted by EnemyoftheStoat View PostComment

On the subject of cinema, I expect few will here have been to a drive--in. They were popular in East and South Africa when I was growing up, and I have fond memories of many a night sitting in the back seat of the family car with the speaker hooked over the window. The weather sometimes intervened - quite hard to watch a film through thrashing wipers - and sometimes there were technical problems. In the latter case much tooting of horns alerted the projectionist - who was probably dozing - and the glitch was soon fixed.
The national anthem was always played in Kenya, but I never came across that anywhere else. Then there were the newsreels and cartoons that preceded the main feature.

Apologies if this has already been posted... but for me at least no trip to the cinema was complete without Pearl and Dean adverts...
Check out the one below - featuring Lulu who "loves happies" apparently

Marbles. Whose comeliness inspired a reverential stillness in the young Daniel brain. I amassed quite a few in the field of noble battle (it wasn't easy playing in a suit of armour). Both those, and me figurative ones, long since lost in the mists of time.
(Apparently Lord Elgin had a reasonable collection too :p)Comment

Oh I think that tradition continues, for children's fillums. I saw films like Paddington and Shaun the Sheep with local friends with little ones, we went on Saturday morning... (followed by a dim sum lunch - now that wasn't an option back in the day....)Originally posted by Beef Oven! View Post
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Indeed - and most important thing about marbles is to try not to lose any as age creeps up on one...Originally posted by Daniel View PostComment
