Mr Bond, I presume!

I just had an idea about replay.

 

“I’d rather be stirred than shaken by my replay!"

 

Sorry for that awful hashing of a famous quote!

Well yes given that Penny Watts is on holiday.

Posted on: 10 November 2015 by George F

TJ, you have the advantage of me! I am not sure who Penny Watts is!

 

Is she famous?

 

Infamous?

She's David Watts's sister.

Dear HH,

 

I am still none the wiser! Who is David Watts?

 

About forty years ago my grandmother in Hereford had a neighbour called Mrs Watts, but she must be long deceased by now!

David Watts is someone we wish we could be like.

 

He is the head boy at the school

 

He is the captain of the team

 

He is so gay and fancy free......

"We?” As in Nigel and George, or more generally?

 

ATB from George

 

PS: I see you have added to your post!

 

I am not sure that I want to be so fancy free, and whatever else!

 

I would like to rich enough to afford to retire [now] to my own rural country cottage in Herefordshire, but close to a bus route so I could manage without a car ...

Paul wants to be like him too.

Ray wanted to be like him before Paul did.

HELP! I am in a one of those lunatic exchanges where everyone will be laughing at me by now!

Help - no, that's a different Paul. Think Woking.

Someone must be a dull and simple lad?

 

Posted on: 10 November 2015 by hungryhalibut

I wish I had all the money he's got.

Am a dull and simple lad
Cannot tell water from champagne
And I have never met the Queen
And I wish I could have all he has got 
I wish I could be like David Watts
And when I lie on my pillow at night
I dream I could fight like David Watts
And lead the school team to victory
Take my exams and pass the lot

He is the head boy at the school
He is the captain of the team
His is so gay and fancy free
And I wish I could have all the money he's got
I wish I could be like David Watts

And all the girls in the neighborhood
Try to go out with David Watts
The try their best but can't succeed
For he is of pure and noble creed

Steve, you are such a spoilsport. I was going to spend the whole evening on this....

Posted on: 10 November 2015 by George F

Off the hook!

 

And I’d would never have got it!

 

I am off to see the Bond film now!

 

Nighty nighty! From George

I was beginning to feel sorry for George. 

Posted on: 10 November 2015 by George F

Dear Steve,

 

You are SO kind!

 

Best wishes from George.

 

Off to the cinema now!

Paul? Actually, I thought Bruce had something to do with it, or was I thinking of something else?

Posted on: 10 November 2015 by Andy Piercy

Bruce and Paul shared the vocals on David Watts.

Unfortunately after a shower I sat down and went fast asleep so Mr Bond will have to wait for another day!

 

No more taking the Mike either about pop culture I am a complete amateur at!
