Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd were amazing. Most people these days have forgotten this pioneering era in motion pictures.
Another forgotten exponent of early cinema. Frankly I wonder how Chaplin became so prominent. Don’t get me wrong he was talented but there were those just as good or better.
Some of their movies still make me slap my knees! Did you know that we call them 'Dick & Doof' in Germany/Austria? That's 'Fat & Twat' in English... Another thought (you might find slightly offset; but that's my offset brain of course): For me actors like Laurel, Hardy and Co. planted the ever returning algorithm of comedy just as Bach and Beethoven did for music; be it the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, all the way to Sting and Bowie: You always encounter the same intricate melody-structures going back to aforementioned artists. Well, someone had to invent the wheel
I am always so glad that tv in this country used to show this stuff on a Saturday morning when I was small. It always seemed like a natural progression:- Laurel and Hardy Harold Lloyd Buster Keaton Abbott and Costello Martin and Lewis Hope and Crosby.
An Ulverston man who ate 15 kilos of lettuce for a bet was admitted to Furness General Hospital last night with acute constipation. A spokesperson said the man managed to visit the toilet twice last night but that this was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
My wife left me because we always travelled everywhere on overcrowded buses. In the end we just couldn't get on.
"No injury to tyres, less likelyhood of punctures" - of course it's true, they wouldn't lie in a newspaper advert would they ?
Nope just everything else would be biased in them. No reason for the advertisers to tell porkies. Now we can see how DD makes his money by producing these tools to save us replacing our tyres too often. We just need a tyre reprofiler for our bikes now DD.
According to the same online news portal the bloke who knocked Ed Sheeran off his bike has been awarded an MBE for services to music...
Yes it's worth a look - another headline is that Brexit negotiators David Davis and Liam Fox have managed to agree to pay full price for a DFS sofa!
A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other if there is sex after death. Their biggest fear was that there was no afterlife at all. After a long life together, the husband was the first to die. True to his word, he made the first contact. “Marion, Marion?” He called to her a couple of months after he died. "Is that you, Bob?” “Yes, I've come back like we agreed." “That's wonderful! What's it like?” "Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast and then it’s off to the golf course. I have sex again, bathe in the warm sun and then have sex a couple of more times. Then I have lunch (you'd be proud -- lots of greens). Another romp around the golf course, then pretty much have sex the rest of the afternoon. After supper, it's back to the golf course. Then it's more sex until late at night I catch some much needed sleep and then the next day it starts all over again.” "Oh, Bob! Are you in Heaven?" > > > > > > > > > > “No, … I'm a rabbit somewhere in Arizona."
