First film I can remember seeing is Calamity Jane. It was on a Saturday afternoon with my Mum and my Nan.

I remember all the wonderful songs.

I REALLY WANTED TO BE CALAMITY JANE.

Saw it again a few years ago. Still wonderful to me.

Got the video and watched that until I could pratically talk along with it.

I dont like to connotation some people have added to Secret Love.

Hee Hah.

whip crack away.

Oh my god, I forgot the whisky for Stephen, will have to buy a bottle tommorrow, sorry about that Stephen.

Rita you have bought back so many memories,talking about the old time picture shows.
I think nearly every town in the country had a cinema called the flea pit,and my god they definately lived up to their names. We always came out scratching,and mum would make sure she stuck us in the bath,and rubbed us down with carbolic soap. It was a luxury when she changed over to Lifebouy soap.

South Pacific was a great favourite of mine. " I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair.
I remember when the sound of music, the film first came out, we had to go by coach up to london, to the cinema to watch it. Now that was a great treat for us as kids, to go anywhere other than the flea pit was luxury.

Maddie, the name Calamity Jane, is what my parents used to call me, when I broke anything. I used to be a real butter fingers, still am if the truth be told.
Champagne and cake coming down the cyber hatch Maddie,do you want strawberries as well.

HELP !

All this talk about films from years ago has set my mind wandering back through the decades.

My mum took me to see all the musicals and there was one, if my memory serves me well, it was called......

'Skirts Ahoy' and starred Esther Williams.

Am I correct ?

If not can someone correct me.

Hi all,

Just put young one to bed....I'm tired now ..LOL

I can remember the film White Christmas , with Bing Crosby I was only about 11yrs and we had to walk 4 miles to the cinema and back, but it was the best Christmas that I ever had It really did snow that year and all I could think of was Rosemary Clooney & Bing Crosby and singing white Christmas over & over again.

Maddie I too remember Calamity Jane .....I think the Daffodils song comes to mind !!
And she waved her magic to paint all the rooms pretty ....in Gingham curtains with a white fence all around the house .

Now have I got the right film .....LOL

Pauline I don't think my whip would work on anyone else but Pete.....as it almost talks to Pete before I lash out on it ...LOL

Stephen, I have just googled Skirts Ahoy,and yes you are right. But I have to admit to never having seen it. I much prefer to wear jeans myself these days.
You are surrounded by skirts my friend, us lot. And you being a kilt wearing Scotsman, know how we feel when we have to wear them, it gets a bit chilly round the nether region otherwise.

Hi Marilyn, keep that whip under control, we don't want Stephen getting excited.
It must be nearly worn out now, with all the lashings poor Pete has had to put up with. LOL

Stephen,

It was Eleanor Powell that played the leading roll ........ Goggle told me ..LOL

Mo, I've brought a bottle of 10 year old Malt, so you can pour Stephen a drink. I'll have wine please, can't drink anything fizzy and whisky's too strong for me.

I can't remember the first film I saw but it definitely had Gabby Hayes and Roy Rogers in it. My parents used to take us every Saturday to see a cowboy film. My dad always had to carry me home and mam carried my little brother, because we would fall asleep before the film finished. My sister complained because she had to walk.

Skirts, Whips !!!!!!!!

Am I on the right thread?

Next it will be High Heels and Fishnet Stockings.

Poor Pete ......or does he like being whipped ????????

Loves it .........!!!!!!

I've just googled Skirts Ahoy and it said Esther Williams, Joan Evans, Vivian Blaine were the 3 main ones in it.

My God, I was only off a couple of seconds and it's gone from Esther Williams to whips, and fishnet stockings ............how did that happen?

Stephen ,

Are you a dab hand on Scotch Whisky ?

I have in my possession a bottle of Glenfiddich pure single malt special Reserve Scotch Whisky aged 12yrs. in a casket .....

Now is that a good one ??????

Cheers Pauline, I was a bit worried about forgetting Stephens drink.
Right one glass of wine,and a double for Stephen coming down the cyber hatch now. Cheers everyone.

Pauline didn't you go to the Saturday morning Matinee's. I think my mum was glad to get rid of my brother and I, so that she could get on with her work.
We even watched Zorro at the cinema, now that was exciting.
Mind you, I was a bit of a tomboy,and used to enjoy trying to scalp my brother,as he always wanted to be the goodie when we played coyboys and injuns.
One day I got hold of the scissors, from the kitchen drawer,and actually gave my brother a haircut. He ended up looking like a monk, with a big hole in the crown of his hair. Cor did I get a wallop for that.

Well you know what sailors are>>>>

OPPSss....

Now how did I get Eleanor Powell playing Tullulah Winters the leading lady ,
Have I got a different Google ?? LOL

Marilyn,

I very seldom touch alcohol but when I do I have a really good Malt.

Glenfiddich 12 yr old......is good.

My last Malt was at my birthday celebrations nearly four years ago.

My toast for my wedding drink was Irn Bru as was my best mans. From a distance it looks like whisky.

CHEERS MO !!

That was excellent. A good nightcap. Should sleep soundly.

Night Night all, speak to you tommorrow.
Don't work to hard tommorrow Stephen at your nieces place.

Mo we weren't allowed to go out of the street on our own, Saturday night was our family night out..........don't think they had a baby sitter.

Thanks for the wine, just what I need.

Marilyn, how'd you manage to do that?

Night Mo.

What happened to Shelly?
