General Chat

A real tongue twister at the speed it is sung. I enjoyed the R Variety performance, thought it was a lot better this year, some good entertainment there. Perhaps that makes me a saddo, but at my age I am allowed. Was disappointed in Cliff, but thought ollie NJ was quite good and she looked good too. Liked round the Horne, Tommy steel and the 3 Billy Elliots, thought they were fantastic. also liked Shane Ritchie. Not bad entertainment for a Wednesday. Ann Glos

ALL: With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse. With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse. With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore, And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore. ALL: And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

ALL: But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, He is the very model of a modern Major-General. Now that's catchy!

i thought it was a load of boring rubbish, how can anyone sit in the audience, i dont know if it was just me, i felt guilty at sending my son upstairs to watch car film on 3, no decent acts on there, and the guests introducing each act were rushed on and rushed off, cant say ill watch it again

First time Ive ever watched it all the way through and I may sound sad but I quite enjoyed it! Thought that Ennio bloke was hilarious! But the ones that clinched it for me were the three lads from Billy Elliot...........I thought they were great! Nice to see Tommy Steele (thought he had died) and Liza Minelli, though I have to agree she wasnt on form! The only disappointment really was Cliff Richard! Okay song but what was that dance all about? He looked in pain to me! Not a bad show overall but I think it might be a few years till I watch it again!

That you have met any is a definate worry

The campest pirates I've ever seen. (Not that I've met many pirates)

Very.

Round the Horne? Eh? Ooooo, Carry onesq.

Well Im older than you my expectations are probably lower :) Oh good "round the horne" are back on

Nah, A bit so-so that Will Smith.

Well I suppose it saves on the washing. Will Smith was veeeeeery funny

I watched it until 10. I am no monarchist but why do we have to do this to the Royal Family? I suppose they sent Charles along to teach him a lesson. What a load of wanna be and has-beens (ecept for the quick-change Italian). Len

I do that everytime I get a bath :-)

Are you shocked Master Longman? Oh come on its only a chap taking a bath:) Weird though

Utter Filth. Agree ladies? Of course you do.

Round the Horne was pretty entertaining too.
