    And another one bites the dust

    Blockbusters has gone bust

    DVD rental firm Blockbuster becomes the latest UK High Street firm to go into administration after struggling to compete against internet-based rivals.

    I'm sure you may have something of particular interest or relevance to add to the BBC News Blockbusters blockbuster exclusive, Flossie ... ?

      Perhaps it means he doesn't now need to take back the omnibus edition of Citizen Smith

          Your long-overdue set of Archie Bunker won't be missed now, RM

            Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

            Anyway, I'm afraid your little bon mot was lost on me as I have no idea who AB is. Probably a level-headed balanced-thinking individual who everyman aspires to become. Did I get that right ?

              I'll leave you to fret about that (or to research it, of course)

                      What's all this, then? Surely 'you silly moo' was AG. Did AB use that phrase too?

                      Okay, so you'll tell me I misread your post!
                      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                        AB was the USA incarnation of AG

                            No, your reading was entirely correct - Mr Pee's might or might not be

                              Indeed, I was questioning whether AB would use such a disrespectful utterance as we were used to with AG!
