Yep..... flicks!! We used to watch some of those at the Saturday morning matinee, the old black and white Abbot and Costello ones. I hated them, still dislike most slapstick......... then there always seemed to be cowboys and indians as well.... I hated anything like that..... even then I knew that it was all wrong. |

I think it comes from 'Flickering' Jane as that was what the original moving pictures did ( lol that IS 'before my time' I hasten to add !) |

Well, hopefully your batteries have recharged now, and it's all systems go... but do try and take another relaxing day.... after all, it is a Bank Holiday weekend... so you can't organise all those things, can you? So write yer list for Tuesday, tomorrow... and have a good brak. edit: break, even lolol |

I too still call it the pictures.I went yesterday to see 'No where Boy' Story of John Lennon's younger years.It was quite an emotional journey for him. Well worth watching. |
