I’m sorry to hear that. You should do what I do - only invite him round when you need some work doing. I invited him for a cup of tea and he had all the artex off the walls before I could blink! :)

I heard someone say that conserVATION needed to be spread throughout the world.
You can still find pieces of Pilkington K and uPVC door frame in parts of Borneo, Costa Rica, Kuala Lumpar and Chelmsford as we speak.

I watched Croupier at the weekend. What a great film, so i’m going to swap Edward Norton for Clive Owen

It’s just a film… Clive Owen might be really boring in real life, and he might have really disgusting eating habits that will make all your other guests sick. You should think it through - you’d probably be better off with John Inman or someone like that :)

It’s true. I thought Daniel Craig was a pretty good Bond, but in interviews he’s possibly the most humourless boring person I’ve ever seen.

Actually, he’s got quite a delicate touch as he’s (I belive - could be back to dreaming stuff here) a trained vetinary assistant, and has a lot of canaries. He also wanted to be a professional ballet dancer at one time :)

A shocking indictment of the record industry.
Have you ever seen albums with names like ‘200 Love songs you never really liked but the girl on the cover looks so adorable, and don’t worry that these recordings are not by the original artists because you won’t know half of them anyway’?
That’ll be Pickwick…
And really it would be called ‘The Worlds Greatest Love Songs’ or something.

They also did children’s audio books. Or they used to in the early eighties, don’t know if they still do. That’s where I know them from, anyway.

You poor thing - I bet they were awful!!
‘Off White and the Dwarf’ - abridged by some half-witted jobbing actor. Read by somebody who sounds like Joanna Lumley but isn’t, and has the added disadvantage of being dyslexic…

I was going to deny it, but I think actually even then I thought they were bad. I’m not sure… I remember enjoying some audiobooks, and being bored senseless by others. I think the ‘others’ may well have been by Pickwick.

I don’t doubt it for a second! I just tried to find the audio books for a laugh. I couldn’t find anything much, but I did find this which might help answer AS’s question :D

From a ‘Sweeney’ website:
“50 Popular TV Themes” features yet another orchestral tribute. It’s a Pickwick double album from 1977, and recorded by The Bruce Baxter Orchestra.
Other TV themes featured include ‘Dad’s Army’, ‘Crossroads’, ‘The Saint’ and ‘Kojak’.
LOL.
Dear God.
I think we should move on. What’s this thread about again?
