A diverse offering twixt the interesting, the unusual, and the amusing.
Just the thing for a wet and windy Sunday. The Roly Polys were great.
ReplyDeleteAre you a feeder cro?
ReplyDeleteabsolutely great wasn't he? I also watched one of him at the piano with Shirley Bassey...who just couldn't keep a straight face. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteoh, and the Roly Polys were good too. Couldn't take my eyes off Les !
ReplyDeleteThere was a programme on recently about Les Dawson. Fantastic comedian. His mother-in-law jokes were out of this world. Then someone told him they were not pc and he had to stop them but he said mother-in-laws were his greatest fans and loved them and were always asking for more jokes. He was also a great actor. The Roly Polys were ok, I laughed this morning during our slow start to the day.
ReplyDeleteLooking at this photograph makes me feel slim Cro.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could tap dance like tap. Maybe when I'm 90 . . . On a side note, that big screen that comes down scares the daylights out of me.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought you were going to talk about the bug Roly Polys. When I was a bratty child, I used to get the large ones and break them in half. Teeny white things were squirming around inside. Don't know if they were babies or not. I think they are also called Sow Bugs. No, I didn't grow up to be a serial killer.
ReplyDeleteRoly Polys.......Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
ReplyDeleteJust the thing to raise a laugh Cro - British humour at it's best ! Wonderful comedian - I just had to see him sit at a piano and I started to laugh - what faces he could pull ! Watched the Shirley Bassey skit too - hilarious.
ReplyDeleteSomeone once said that to play like he did, you actually needed to be a very good "straight" pianist.
Well, I've heard references to Les Dawson for years, but had never before actually seen any performances. I thank you for allowing me to see the Roly-Polys vintage tapping while having a very late breakfast earlier today. Now I do get it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sending this fun across the pond.
Best wishes.
