Who Do You Think You Are?

HT: oh, no, they don't. Let them bring their ear along and we'll compare them to the painting. Of course, I have the original...
 
Arena sound like a pretty all-round shite company to work for then! I'm sure you could find people more appreciative of your talents, Aunty!

Now how can I be losin' what I ain't never had? Tell them jive-monkeys to stop dickin' around with metaphysics an' all, an' git their sorry asses over here and show me them ears. Or do I has to comes and fetch 'em off myself?
 
Oh Dear. Simmo has been given an initiation test by The E. Dead Group. He was last seen on a Brighton bound train with a piece of cheese wire.

Yes, he arrived a couple of hours ago and we've watched the racing, eaten the cheese and bread, and are just about to go out for a couple of swift halves. The cheese-wire came in handy for re-stringing a couple of pictures, including the van Gogh where he's got his earless side bandaged up. Cheers, HT - please send more useful initiates in future. ;)
 
Can you please send me back the cheese wire, Aunty K - the darts has just been put on - so that's my evening ruined :angry:

So switch it back to your programme! Whose telly is it anyway?
 
I don't mind watching the play - it's those dreadful, shiny shirts that are appalling! Is it mandatory to look like a 1970s pikey in order to play the game?
 
I have another tv in teh bedroom but as we live in a poor reception area it is like watching a snowstorm whereas the one in the sitting room runs through Sky. There is the possibility of getting another aerial, running a wire under the track at the back, over the barn and up one of the large beech trees but I am really not that agile and b/f is watching the darts/snooker/racing/footie..................

I'm sure it must be - do you reckon it is included in the rules of the game? The worst, by a long stretch, is Bobby George - what a state!

Kirsty - for God's sake, clatter him 'round the head with a frying pan & tell him to get that shite off your TV!! :D
 
Anyone watch this programme ? Fascinating episode with Stephen Fry who found out his father's maternal family wee paupers and in and out of workhouses and made a very moving journey to Vienna and Slovakia to find as he feared the liquidation of all his Jewish relatives in the Holocaust
 
Halfway down p.2, you will see that Colin Phillips opened this subject. No need for another topic to be opened. Neh, neh, neh.
 
Back to the subject...anyone on here done their family tree? I started mine a few days ago and with the help of the internet I have worked my way back to the 1820's. I am currently researching my Grand Fathers family. It is fascinating and addictive.
 
I didn't see the Paxman edition and there is a difference between current and old topics .

In any event , Aunty K the usual course is to merge them not witter on about it :P
 
Never really been a fan of Fry, but last nights episode was the only alternative as OH was watching the footy on Sky so I disappeared into the bedroom, anyway I found it very moving :( & was glad I watched it :)

Yes, both the programmes in the new series have been terrific.

Odd coincidence that both Paxo and Fry used the expression "We don't know we're born do we?" on learning about some impoverished ancestors who died in tragic circumstances.
