We'll have to crowd in behind Geoff then. He looks pretty scary. And he is the ringleader in any case.

I'm more of a 'lone wolf'. No-one's attaching a lead to my ring!

What's that film where they're making a war movie and accidentally stumble into a real war?

[Pigmy Pony]

No. We hit Tesco and Sainsbury's first. Blockade the car parks by 10am. That's half the population trapped in their cars and immobilised. Oh, and put a chair up against the front door of the police station so they can't get out and annoy us.

If you think you can keep the police in by putting a chair against the door, you obviously never watched "The Big Lebowski".

'Blazing Saddles'?

'Blazing Saddles'?

Had to look it up. 'Tropic Thunder' .

I did. Great film, don't remember a bit about a chair though.

I'm always amazed how many people listen to Radio 4. It's either boring or unsettling.

Not in my opinion: I enjoy listening to the arts review programmes, history and current affairs discussion, and of course The Archers on Radio 4. (And as Marco has mentioned, some of the afternoon plays can be very good.)

For political discussion listen to LBC; now that, depending on the leaning of the presenters and of some of the ill-informed contributors, does make me shout at the radio!

For classical (and some jazz), as well as for "world"/electronic/avant-garde music in 'Late Junction', there is Radio 3 (and for the Proms of course).

I've done an inventory:

Weirhauch HW 97k .22
BSA Gold Star .22
Webley Premier .177
Webley Hurricane .22
Merlin Olympic bow
Leaf blower with 2 speeds

What I really want is a Sherman tank though.

Hopefully. We'll need to organise some tasty looking female 'soldiers' for that.

No, "The revolution will not be televised".

You will not be able to stay home, brother
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and drop out
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip
Skip out for beer during commercials
Because the revolution will not be televised

The revolution will not be televised

The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruption
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
Blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Mitchell
General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
Hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary

The revolution will not be televised

The revolution will be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre and
will not star Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
Thinner, because The revolution will not be televised, Brother

There will be no pictures of you and Willie Mays
Pushing that cart down the block on the dead run
Or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance
NBC will not predict the winner at 8:32or the count from 29 districts

The revolution will not be televised

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
Brothers in the instant replay
There will be no pictures of young being
Run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process
There will be no slow motion or still life of
Roy Wilkens strolling through Watts in a red, black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the right occasion
Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and
Hooterville Junction will no longer be so damned relevant
and Women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day

The revolution will not be televised

There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock News
and no pictures of hairy armed women Liberationists and
Jackie Onassis blowing her nose
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb, Francis Scott Key
nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash
Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth

The revolution will not be televised

The revolution will not be right back after a message
About a whitetornado, white lightning, or white people
You will not have to worry about a germ on your Bedroom
a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl
The revolution will not go better with Coke
The revolution will not fight the germs that cause bad breath
The revolution WILL put you in the driver's seat
The revolution will not be televised

WILL not be televised, WILL NOT BE TELEVISED

The revolution will be no re-run brothers
The revolution will be live

I did. Great film, don't remember a bit about a chair though.

The Dude tried to keep the nihilists out of his apartment by putting a chair in front of his door, but the door opened out. Or did I just dream it?
