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.
You "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.
On 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!
I 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.
Every 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.
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'? The 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!

I 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?
I think carry on is brilliant. I love'em.
Well said
There's a lot of judgementality around, Benny Hill is another that attracts it, and several bloggers.
I loved the Carry On films - they were of their time - good only slightly rude humour

I didn't bother to look.
I love them too. They represent a very specific age in British comedy film history.
I had a friend who worked on BH's show... he was a bit odd!
Very much of their time, and filled with wonderful actors/actresses.
I worked with Bernard Bresslaw's brother in 1969. He said Bernard was a very serious and sensitive person in real life. Odd that.
"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.
I always loved BB's acting, but he must have hated being typecast as a bumbling dim-wit.
His brother hated it for sure.
Alain Delon has promised to play me; reasonably similar I thought.
He wouldn't have wanted to play you.
That was to YP.
I 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.
Light humor and funny. Everybody needs a good laugh once in a while.
People ought to stick to commenting on the post, instead of attacking in the comments. My gosh.
I enjoyed the giggle, Cro.

Very junior humour, but that's what we liked about the 'Carry On' films.
Yes, and nothing nasty in them either.
If only, Debby. I'm afraid I get it all the time. Mostly from the same people!
I'm sure I must have seen all of them too. They still turn-up on TV. Good family entertainment.
You have a wonderful view out that window! I'd be gazing out instead of getting my work done!
