Ah right - that's a rather different thing!!
Loved that film... Reminds me of my teenage years. 1981 was my favourite year.
Clare Grogan was quite cute, and had a sexy voice. My favourite line from the film was: "Now *THAT* is what ye call a brassiere!!"

I like the scene where the school's camera club is wanting to take photos of the local nurses quarters, hoping to see some of the nurses just wandering around in their undies (as Gregory says "she's wearing a brassiere", as though he's never seen one). They fail and go home. A short while later another group of school chums come along, see what the others have been doing and look up to the window of the nurse's home, where one of them casually says "Ah yes - no knickers" and they wander on without a second thought.

Yes! Actually, on reflection, that's what I was referring to, although remembered it wrongly, so thanks for the correctionOriginally Posted by Barry
That film, and some of the music from the era, evokes wonderful memories for me.

Don't like them. If you're next to a truck or bus, you're too low for them to see and they can flatten you. Also, on a normal bike you use your weight to advantage. you can't on those.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Don't bank on it. They squash enough cars and motor bikes and regular cyclists as it is. I've seen it happen.with my huge flag I have in mind they will definitely see me...
On one of those you can't get out of the way quickly. You can with luck, on a normal bike.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
