My Blackberry Is Not Working
The Two Ronnies
|
It seems the British public can be merciless.
Following on the heels of the Two Ronnies Four Candles (Fork Handles) sketch we promptly received emails telling us about Ronnie Corbett's frozen blackberry.
As if Blackberry weren't having enough problems since the launch of the iPhone, here is a sketch that takes their name in vain and has the audience "laughing in the aisles". (Isles?)
Here is a comment posted about this video about 3 months ago "I lived in England when these comedians were so active, the world was a better place with them around . May I also include Harry Secombe. I loved them all especially " the cleaning ladies song" by the two Ronnies Brilliant in every way."

Goldwynisms Galore
Today's quote was just one of Sam Goldwyn's "Goldwynisms" - Like Thatcher, his larger than life presence let his sayings become 'isms', only in Sam's case they most often made people chuckle.
Here are a few to dwell on; though it may be that like Robin Hood he was finally given credit for deeds that were not actually his (on the basis that they well could have been):-
- Gentlemen, include me out.
- They stayed away in droves.
- Let's have some new clich�s.
- Tell them to stand closer apart.
- Gentlemen, listen to me slowly.
- Our comedies are not to be laughed at.
- A bachelor's life is no life for a single man.
- You've got to take the bull between your teeth.
- I've gone where the hand of man has never set foot.
- An oral contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.
- The next time I send a damn fool for something, I go myself.

Qantas First Overseas Passenger Flight
| Avro 504K - Replica |
Qantas first overseas passenger flight took place on 17 April 1935 and marked the start of an illustrious journey that has lasted right up till today.
The airline was formed and commenced operations in December 1934 flying between Brisbane and Darwin using obsolescent DH.50 and de Havilland DH.61 biplanes.
Regular international flight commenced in May 1935, when the service from Darwin was extended to Singapore using newer de Havilland DH.86s.
Imperial Airways operated the rest of the service through to London. In July 1938 this operation was replaced by a thrice weekly flying boat service using Shorts S.23 Empire flying boats.
The Sydney to Southampton service took nine days, with passengers staying in hotels overnight. For the single year of peace that the service operated, it was profitable and 94% of services were on time.
The airline's first aircraft was an Avro 504K (pictured above) purchased for �1425. It had a cruising speed of 105 kilometres per hour (65 mph) and carried one pilot and two passengers.

We Didn't Own an iPad
No matter this Golden Oldie is sentimental about the 70's and 80', YouTube mastery is still evident.
Suggesting that' despite the old saying' you can still teach and old dog new tricks - Who says Golden Oldies are not adaptable?
Of course Golden Oldies originally referred to music from the 1950's and 60's, but now we are in age iPad they have relocated to the 1970's and 80's and are now sometimes titled Classic Hits.
For those who need a memory jolt the 1970's saw the rise of disco, which became one of the biggest genres of the decade, especially towards the end of the decade, but it also included funk, smooth jazz, jazz fusion, soul and hard, aggressive rock.
The 1980s saw the emergence of pop, dance music, new wave, soft rock and adult contemporary. It is commonly associated with the usage of synthesizers and other electronic genres featuring non-traditional instruments.
Seemed state of the art for the time - seems cause for nostalgia now.

The Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy
If you think you are familiar with the Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy here is something to make you prick up your ears and listen again.
This video clip shows what it sounds like when all the instruments are made of glass; and when the whole piece is played by just two people, who spend all their time standing up.
The piece is played by GlassDuo on a glass harp - a very rare and extraordinary instrument.
It's the only glass music group in Poland, one of a very few professional ensembles in the world. The Musicians play in duo and with various chamber ensembles and even symphony orchestras.
GlassDuo's glass harp is the largest professional glass harp in the world and is not made up of glasses containing water, but very high quality glasses of differing sizes.
