Bronco Lane was another favourite.

Fertile ground here, but I'll behave myself!

I watched them all!

Here are two more to make you think :

" Wells Fargo " Which my family used to watch every saturday night just before " Dixon of Dock Green" came on. ( an early BBC TV show about a policeman who solved every crime and helped everybody to solve their personal problems as well! ). " Wells Fargo " starred Dale Robertson. He was a " Special Agent " and caught all the crooks who were robbing Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo got robbed every week. You'd've been safer sending your gold bricks by carrier pigeon. Dale never missed. He always had a trick or two up his sleeve....and caught them wearing a charming smile!

and

" Elephant Boy " with Mickey Dolentz ( much later a star of The Monkees ). This show was all about a travelling circus in the wild west. The only thing that I can recall is that the eponymous E.B. got to sit on an elephant wearing a Kepi. He also got lost a lot.

I'm off to Crakov for a week. I'll be visiting Oscar Schindler's factory and also making a visit to Auschwitz, among other things.

I guess that there is a store there where I can buy models or diecasts. I'll just check around. I'll post my impressions when I get back.

Be good boys when I'm away. I don't want to return and find complaints from our poor, over-strained angels of the cyberskies!

Go out and play and no pulling hair....and let your sister play too! Just untie her, ok? You can come in for milk and cookies in an hour. All except that disgusting skunk. How did he get in here? Go away, you bad boy!

Meanwhile, ain't it good that our soldiers and sailors made it back to the U.K. on the same day that I did. I dare say that a few hangovers are in the making, as we speak. We're all delighted that they are back home, and I'm sure that you'll all wish them a happy future, free of devious complications.

Just back from a few days down in sunny old Galloway.

I had to paint the garden shed! It was way past the time when it should have been done, and I had been avoiding this particular chore until I thought that it was sunny enough to get out there and get busy with the Cuprinol all-weather garden covering to bring back the semblance of respectability to the damn thing!

Four hours later, and covered in brown goo, I was finished. The shed ( a little wooden house which Brits have in their gardens to keep mowers, tools, illicit cigarettes, gnomes, Skunks, etc. in ) looked magnificent, but I did not. I was not allowed back into the house until I had divested myself of shoes and shirt :

" Arghhhhh! Get those feet off my floor! Get upstairs and shower! Don't come down until you are thoroughly clean! "

It never ceases to astound me that ALL floors belong to women in this country. You'd think that after we allowed women a degree of emancipation that they would rethink the philosophy of cleanliness being next to Godliness...but no!

After all my hard labour and sweat, you'd think that I would be the Hero of the hour. But all I got was the shaft!

Next time, Mrs MoMo can do it!

Oh boy that so true. At my place even the cats have to wipe their feet before they come in.

Dont leave the seat up, put the top back on the toothpaste, put your coffee cup back in the kitchen, Heck I have just worked a 10 hour day while she sits outside in the sun( when we have some).

I am sure you have heard them say " Well dont think I have been sitting out here all day I have been washing and ironing your shirts". Oh yes and how many bl..dy shirts do I have then? Do I change them every five minutes or what?

Its also funny how they have been working so hard but they know every story line on every TV soap on daytime TV.
Its a fact MO you just can't live with them and you can't live without em.

Well I couldn't live without my Lorraine thats for sure even if she is as I tell her, high maintenance.

I wonder what they say about us when we are not listening. Perhaps its better not to know.

As you say, it is better not to know!

I wonder how many of you ever saw " Fireball XL5 "? This was a show which was put out by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson ( of ' Thunderbirds' fame ) between 1961 and 1962 in the U.K. It lasted for about 39 episodes and was a great laugh. The characters were all interesting to us kids and had funny voices which everyone in the school playground would copy. It also had a hit song which did well in the top twenty and rocked the start of every show.

Venus had the sexiest voice on childrens' T.V. ( I think that there was a lot of Marlene Dietrich in the voice ) and Zoonie, her pet, was always screwing things up for the crew. Robert, the robot, had a brilliant robotic voice which the BBC stole for the Daleks in " Doctor Who ".

Steve Zodiac was a stereotypical hero from the USA. The 30 minute show was in B&W. It should have continued and gone into colour, but it just missed the boat. Gerry and Sylvia had other fish to fry!

Characters:

COLONEL STEVE ZODIAC The handsome dynamic pilot of Fireball XL5
PROFESSOR MATHEW "MATT" MATTIC XL5's bespectacled navigator and scientific officer
VENUS The crew's medical expert and Steve's romantic interest.
ZOONIE A strange looking creature called a Lazoon who is Venus's pet.
ROBERT THE ROBOT The transparent mechanical companion and co-pilot to Steve
COMMANDER ZERO He is the head of Space City (XL5's base) and coordinates all Fireball missions.
LIEUTENANT NINETY Assists Commander Zero in Star City.
