Good night, sweet dreams, I'm signing out now!

I like that.

About Amish & Andy... Do you have any problem with the Oz accents, djjd? Lots of folk do!

Hi there, Izzie & Dutchy!

nope, i've watched lots of brit and oz tv for years, mother and son, country practice, richmond hill, a few episodes of blue healers

seen a few films, galipoli, the picture show man, breaker morant, the getting of wisdom, my brilliant career

Hey there...

oh gosh, just read back - whole conversation took place whilst I was posting! HA!

Just been on Boida's thread and saw your post - we said the same thing - how funny.

You're practically a local, djjd!

This is on commercial Canadion tv, mainly?

Yes, hilarious, Izzie!
I was encouraged to join in a few times (after posting my appreciation), but sadly I don't have the "it" required to be convincing in the fine art of Hebonics.

yes, our national broadcaster showed the tv shows, and a non comercial provincial station showed the movies

it's weird, living so close to the american border there were lots of rules about broadcast regulations, this meant that the national broadcaster, which showed american soaps and game shows in parts of the country were american broadcast signals were not available, couldn't show the shows in our area, they substituted them with episodes of a country practice and the flying doctors (forgot to mention that one), in the afternoon, and brit sitcoms and mother and son in the evening (7 - 8 pm)

this was about ten years ago, but i loved the shows and still have some on video tape

for awhile in the afternoons we even got a scottish soap called take the highroad

still love that kind of stuff, watch coronation street and most brit tv i can get my hands on

Then I hereby declare you an honorary Australian, djjd!

I can well understand the need to protect the Canadian film & tv industry from too many US imports. You'd be swamped, otherwise!

Gotta run now. I have an appointment on the other side of the city at 1 pm & must make myself presentable. As if that's remotely possible, in this heat! I doubt it.

Cheers till later, all.

Cheers msolga, keep cool.

"Doooooooooooomed.... we're doooooooooomed"

Hey Hamburger - I was brought up as a little girl watching this programme. Still makes me smile big.



Love Yes Primeminister...

gosh - you've just taken me back years!





Stay coooool Msolga - have a good meeting - take some water with you gal!

people seem to love or hate Stephen Fry .... personally I think he is amazing - have seen him interviewed many times - great guy - love Hugh and Laurie....



my faves have to be Eric Morecombe and Ernie Wise.

I STILL WATCH THEIR CHRISTMAS SHOW EVERY YEAR.... Christmas isn't Christmas with Eric and Ernie.

Nite darlin's - gotta close down - falling asleep at the keyboard. Love y'all. Be safe in the heat and the snow. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Night izzie, pleasant dreams.

Brilliant, clever stuff, isn't it, Hamburger?

I have lost track of how many re-uns of re-uns the ABC has run here! (Ditto Fawlty Towers. I think I know every episode off by heart.) The thing about Yes, Minister: it remains spot-on, despite being made so many years ago!

NIte All Down Unders......... hope you keep cool.. Night Up Aboves.... hoping you'll keep one.... lovin' y'all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good night, Izzie.

Good night, all.

I think it's now cool enough (at almost 2 am) to sleep!
