Gone for a Pee indeed! There's nothing better than a 'Carry On' film for lower IVth form innuendos.
The 'Carry on' films were, and are, a British Institution. Here are a few of the regulars, doing what they did best.

N.B. If you wish to annoy me, or try to make out that the 'Carry On' films were sexist, non-PC, anti-woke, scurrilous, propaganda, that is harmful to children; then please go elsewhere. I've had enough for one day. I want a peaceful life.
ReplyDeleteYou "want a peaceful life", Cro. That is to be respected. However, considering it's a blog, a public space, inviting people to comment, what do you expect when you bring up a controversial subject?

PS My comment above with reference to today's earlier post you took down.
DeleteOn Carry On films I have no view. They were before my time and, if it kills me, I shan't say a word. Other than that Barbara Windsor was an absolute gem in that famous pub in the East End.

Look, at the top of my page is says that I offer 'The interesting, the unusual, and the amusing'. It says nothing about inviting conflict or annoying nonsensical opinions. When I write something vaguely amusing about 'conspiracy theorists' I don't expect to be lambasted and criticised. The problem is that certain people have absolutely no sense of effing humour, which is what this page is based upon!
DeleteI am saddened to see that you took the previous post down. I just came back to see if YP had answered Ursula's question. Did he?
ReplyDeleteI didn't bother to look.
DeleteI worked with Bernard Bresslaw's brother in 1969. He said Bernard was a very serious and sensitive person in real life. Odd that.
DeleteI always loved BB's acting, but he must have hated being typecast as a bumbling dim-wit.
DeleteHis brother hated it for sure.
DeleteI think carry on is brilliant. I love'em.
ReplyDeleteWell said
I love them too. They represent a very specific age in British comedy film history.
DeleteThere's a lot of judgementality around, Benny Hill is another that attracts it, and several bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI had a friend who worked on BH's show... he was a bit odd!
DeleteI loved the Carry On films - they were of their time - good only slightly rude humour
ReplyDeleteVery much of their time, and filled with wonderful actors/actresses.
Delete"Carry On Blogging" might be next in the "Carry On" series. I would like Sid James to play me even though he died in 1976.
ReplyDeleteAlain Delon has promised to play me; reasonably similar I thought.
DeleteHe wouldn't have wanted to play you.
DeleteThat was to YP.
DeleteI had to watch it a second time to get it. I knew the key was to do with what was on the board but I missed it the first time.
ReplyDeleteVery junior humour, but that's what we liked about the 'Carry On' films.
DeleteLight humor and funny. Everybody needs a good laugh once in a while.
ReplyDeleteYes, and nothing nasty in them either.
DeletePeople ought to stick to commenting on the post, instead of attacking in the comments. My gosh.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the giggle, Cro.
If only, Debby. I'm afraid I get it all the time. Mostly from the same people!
DeleteEvery one needs a good laugh from to time. Us Brits do it in in a different way to you Americans Debby. I wasn't attacking YP if that is what you are suggesting here. I was extracting the Michael. Keeps him grounded.
DeleteI remember the Carry On movies, I think my dad must have seen every single one, which meant I did too. I should look them up and get a few laughs again.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I must have seen all of them too. They still turn-up on TV. Good family entertainment.
DeleteYou have a wonderful view out that window! I'd be gazing out instead of getting my work done!

Who could ever forget the likes of Bernard Breslaw's 'Bungdit-Din', Sid James' 'Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond', or 'Sir Rodney Ffing', Kenneth Williams' 'Khasi of Kalabar', or Charles Hawtrey's 'Private Widdle'?
ReplyDeleteThe Carry On films were so wonderfully, innocently rude, and perfectly English in their humour, brilliant stuff!
I can still do a very good 'Frying tonight' as Fenella Fielding's 'Valeria Watt'!
Oh I so wish I had Fenella Fielding's glorious voice!
