Up Pompeii 1971. Frankie Howerd



Great fun

I was a big bourbon fan. Had over 40 bottles once. Lol

I prefer it to some malt whiskies, as it's richer and smoother. Different flavour though, as you know. This is the chap being savoured: https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskie...iABEgI8F_D_BwE

Have you tried that one?

Ive heard of it but not tried it. it from the same stable as Rowan Creek etc; the Willett distillery I think. It will be well aged anyway, although with Bourbon thats not always a sign of being better bourbon.
Might be nice. whats the abv...?? 45/50

45, mate. Just makes a nice wee change from malt

Be nice. Good bourbon is hard to beat for satisfaction.


Now watching the Powell and Pressburger film from 1942. One of our aircraft is missing

Right now, just settling down to watch this, with a nice a nice bottle of red and a good cheeseboard. It's a latest release (from this year) on Virgin Movies:



Looks good!

Carry On Cleo. 1964. The lovely Amanda Barrie as Cleopatra

The tv show not the film.
It's a quality show don't get me wrong but they had a scene in the operating theatre, young lad going under the knife. He's supposed to have just come out of combat shot in the leg. So he's been in the fighting, got, hit, been transported by stretcher,helicopter and jeep. But his hair is perfectly coiffured (and way too long for a soldier, especially in the 1950s) it looks like he just shaved ten minutes ago and there's not a smudge of dirt on his face or in his hair.


I mean it would take 2 minutes to smear a bit of dirt on him and plaster his hair down so he looks like someone who has been in a battle, shot and been in a lot of pain for at least an hour or so. Why do they so rarely bother? Not just MASH that is guilty of this ofc.

I used to be a real MASH addict - must have seen all of the episodes at least once. So the wounded soldier didn't look dishevelled, the surgeon's gloves were never bloody either. It was never intended to be an accurate 'docu-drama', just a wry and entertaining comment on the American participation in the Korean war.
