KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON SCREAMING - NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU
The year: 1966. The place: Swinging London. The venue: a *gear* party in Kensington. Jim Dale flits among the *happening* party guests wearing a lavender paisley shirt and tie and black comedy sideburns. He is a Justin de Villeneuve type. The music soundtrack is Sexy Groovy Hammond Organ Vol 38.
Kenneth Connor is dressed like a 1920's film director. Bernard Bresslaw is wearing a flowery dress, a hat with feathers in, a curly wig and is carrying a hug tote bag. They are conversing.
Bernard (pointing at a young woman dancing in a white crocheted mini dress): "GORBLIMEY REG! LOOK AT THE KNOCKERS ON THAT DOLLY BIRD! I THINK I'LL ASK HER FOR THE NEXT DANCE!"
Kenneth, aka Reg, muttering angrily: "Sshhh, keep your voice daahhn! You'll give the game away! Do you want us to be booted ahht?"
Bernard: "Sorry Reg!"
Bernard (raising pitch of voice to womanish hysterical falsetto): "GORBLIMEY REG! LOOK AT THE KNOCKERS ON THAT DOLLY BIRD! I THINK I'LL ASK HER FOR THE NEXT DANCE!"
Labels: Bernard Bresslaw, Des O'Connor, Jim Dale, Kenneth Connor, Kensington, please don't have nightmares, Swinging London
Comments:
By the way, if anyone related to Kenneth Connor or Bernard Bresslaw comes over here shouting the odds - I actually like them! It is possible to take the piss out of someone/something without having any malicious intent ... for my life ...
You missed out the wah-wah-waaaaah muted trombone bit. Which would probably coincide with Bernard's bloomers falling around his ankles.
Tim - I woke up before that happened. I wonder if it's still possible to buy bloomers on the high street (apart from the sort you get in bakers shops har har).
I just accidentally clicked on Des O'Connor and am now faced with PTS therapy for 6 months. That right eye nearly finished me off completely.
Dick a dum dum.

Speaking of "Carry on," AND speaking of therapy, I've been watching a collection of Carry On movies on DVD.
Voluntarily, I might add.

Rog - good job I didn't post the full colour picture. The eye is luminous and swirls around. If you look at it for more than two seconds you faint.
MJ - They seem to have been on a loop on British TV for the past forty years. No need to buy DVDs!
Arabella - Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me.
