A, Rod thanks for the picture of you and the ladies in your life.
A, I recognize you from Las Vegas. You sold me some Timeshares and now I'm a millionaire.

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
Thanks Mallory, Derrygal and Barb.
I cooked me and Mum a nice Sunday roast today like I do every Sunday,
today it was Lamb, oven roast potatoes & parsnips, carrots, brussel sprouts & green beans, with a nice stuffing and real fresh mint, Hmmmmm lovely,
Apple pie and vanilla ice cream for desert, and a couple of beers each, Stella Artois, Sunday is the only day I can get my Mum to drink alcohol, my Dad didn't drink either ---- well just a half pint of beer shandy at christmas,
How come Im such a bloody boozer only joking, just my usual one full shot of scotch at night ---- just to keep me blood flowing and everything working you know

OK, I can go along with you enjoying Scotch but to drink a fizzy lager 
with Sunday lunch, come on, give British (or even Belgian or Irish) Real Ale a chance 
see, even the little icon thingy is drinking dark beer. maybe you have been conditioned by all those years drinking Bud in the desert, you know you miss it

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
2 more shows I liked both on BBC - Hidden w/Philip Glenister (my kind of guy) and Death in Paradise. Death is very British in its humor and wasn't sure I would enjoy it but loved it. If anyone gets chance and still available Wales on Wheels was brill as well. I have seen episodes of Little England. Downton Abbey has got to one of best tv series ever in my opinion..

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
My Aussie mate and myself went to the cinema here in New Jersey a few years ago to watch the British movie "Death At A Funeral". It was hysterically funny, a real laugh-out loud movie and I highly recommend it:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Death-Funera...0106981&sr=1-1 (UK site)
http://www.amazon.com/Death-at-Funer...0107247&sr=8-2 (US site)
(You can also dowload the films directly from the Amazon websites, although I still prefer to buy the DVDs).
There was an American re-make of this film with black comedy actors Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan. I tried to watch it when I was on a flight to see how it compared with the British version....it was so awful I gave up after about 20 minutes!

Yes it is an excellent movie. I never saw the US version - no desire to either..
