But did you know

The Flintstones was the first American animated show to depict two people of the opposite sex (Fred and Wilma; Barney and Betty) sleeping together in one bed, although Fred and Wilma are sometimes depicted as sleeping in separate beds.

I used to wonder about Laurel and Hardy always sleeping together in the same bed...no-one ever said anything !

Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward (his wife) appeared in the film "Winning" and, apparently, in the scenes in which they were in bed together they had to be clothed and he had to have one of his feet on the ground at all times.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065215/

Loved the movie (yes, now you have an idea how old I am) but then those wonderful blue eyes always were a great attraction ... would you believe that it was my grandmother who told me about 'come to bed' eyes?

Anyway, way off topic from Fred and Barney, neither of whom had 'come to bed' eyes

Hope you've all had a great weekend!

Never really looked at Paul Newman in that kind of way before.....

Sounds like a snooker rule. So presumably if he couldn't get his leg over he'd have to use his left hand.

I've been told its ok if you go in off pink. Technically still a foul, though.
