Rare Lois R Posted July 26 #21528 Share Posted July 26 Hi folks, I thought the Opening Ceremony was fantastic🙂 Celene Dion was amazing. She has been going through alot of health issues and it was awesome to see her! I know it rained but everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. That previous post was an error. OOPS. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DavyWavey70 Posted July 26 #21531 Share Posted July 26 (edited) My first thought was the irony of them putting all of those people on small boats, something they do very well at already. My second thoughts turned to the wokeness of it all until I got distracted by the dyspraxic pony galloping / trotting / lumbering / lurching / lolloping along the Seine. It moved like my Bertie but he has an excuse. It was very distracting. Gaga was superb and Celine Dion was radiant, especially after everything she’s been going through. Everything else in between the first and last few minutes was a little incomprehensible. It was all very French. I Don’t think our skydiving Queen at an opening ceremony will ever be bettered, just like our cheese. Edited July 26 by DavyWavey70 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, although the French make some good cheese too. But nothing to top Stilton. As to the rail sabotage, could it have been Michelle of the Resistance???

Rare DavyWavey70 Posted July 27 #21537 Share Posted July 27 One of my recently discovered enjoyments in life, the incredible Grunhild Carling with her utterly irreverent take on life. It’s a slight Russian Roulette but I so hope to see her with Scott Bradlees Post Modern Jukebox in April 25. I’ve bagged mid front row tickets for the opening night of their uk tour on St George's day at the Royal Albert hall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A relative of mine was Harry Pitch. He played with his band (he called it orchestra) at my 13th Birthday Party and he is considered a great harmonica player possibly one of the best. He played on Last of The Summer Wine and other stuff.

I’ve only ever passed through in a hurry en route to Heathrow. I Think we might take a night at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park for one night and then a night in Charlie Chaplains suite at the Savoy where I had afternoon tea with my mother many happy years ago. Lunch at Wonkies is a must. It’s a shame the Savoy don’t offer the pre&post theatre dinners like they used to in the grill. Starter and main in the Grill pre and dessert and coffee in the Thames Foyer post. I’ll sort it out in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starter and main in the Grill pre and dessert and coffee in the Thames Foyer post. I’ll sort it out in time. I have fears whenever I return to London, which is now increasingly rare. It’s probably just me, but when I was a Londoner I felt a sort of ownership. And I lived where Barbican now is when it was all bomb site and stayed in London until long after we got married. I’d walk from Whitecross Street to The South Bank as a kid on a sunny Sunday morning and rarely see a car or other person. London was a quiet place on an early Sunday summer’s morning. I think I’m scared of the monumental scale and rate of change. Sometimes you want stuff to simply be where you left it and don’t want to be confronted with change. It’s best not to have the memories compromised by new reality. I feel that about Singapore, Vienna, Nice, etc etc. and of course my much loved Soho. I guess I’m condemned to be imprisoned by that fear Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted July 27 #21542 Share Posted July 27 @Daveywavey70 thank you so much for the 'Allo, 'Allo documentary. I started watching it and the next thing I knew my DW was standing at my shoulder – we both know every catchphrase and loved seeing the behind-the-scenes stuff. There were even a couple of episodes that we don't recall having seen before – I don't think they made it on to the US DVD set. Whenever our son got sick he would binge-watch it until he felt better. And I can't look for those missing episodes now because our daughter has 'borrowed' the set. So with us, it's a family affair! That and Are You Being Served? "Are you free?"
