Richtea57 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The individual wiggles and wobbles of chewy caramel of every single Curly Wurly are spot-welded together by angelic faced and raggedy-arsed urchins snatched by child catchers from the streets of Bournville.

KarenMichelle Lane Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Wow, extemporaneous goodies in a non-sequitur post or are these non-sequitur goodies in an extemporaneous post? Great job.

LlazarusLlong Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I once appeared in a movie (In The Line Of Fire) with Clint Eastwood. You can just see my right knee poking out from behind a pillar in the Arrivals Hall of LAX International Terminal when he, that ugly Russo woman, and a bunch of extras fly in from Washington to let Malkovich try to kill them. Clint looks much older in real life than he does in the Rawhide TV programmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aislin Ceawlin Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 What a coincidence! A good friend of mine appeared in Gran Torino with Clint! She's seen sitting among the mourners in the church at the funeral of his wife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richtea57 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 All this talk of rubbing shoulders and kneecaps with Clint, rather puts my one claim to fame in the shade; In 1977 I played pinball with Gaye Advert in the Crystal Room amusement arcade at the bottom of West Street. What do you mean, you've no idea who Gaye Advert is...that's my claim to fame you're destoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LlazarusLlong Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 One of my mates in college had a leather jacket he had swapped with Jean-Jacques Burnel. He is now the Vice Chancellor of the University of Oxford. [No, not JJ, my mate.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richtea57 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thats the fella. I was queing up to get into the pub where they were playing when I saw her going into the arcade, so, being young, brave and fairly drunk, I followed her, (stalking hadn't been invented yet) we played doubles on the pinball....ah, happy days.

Richtea57 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 That's really quite cool. Funnily enough, I saw them in the 'Top Rank Suite', which is opposite the pub I saw the Adverts...actally, thinking about it, it's not that funny, after all. 'Top Rank Suite', it was as classy as it sounds. They filmed the dance hall scene from Quadrophenia in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the Top Rank. They had one of those in Swansea, and once I had been there I realised why my Dad used "rank" as a pejorative... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoshi Kenin Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 It may - or may not, as your post seemed a mere preamble to matters of no interest whatsoever - to know that curly whirlys are a ephemeral shadow of what they used to be in their '70's glory days. Cadburys is no more, effectively. You do know that, right? Rather like Fender. A fullerton stratocaster is precisely that. A premise, or basic fact, is a must, I am afraid, when posting stuffs online. I had intended to take a break from the forums of these forums of th eundead, but you keep dragging me back in.

Richtea57 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Ah, so that's where it comes from; it's obvious once you're told. In it's defence, it did have four bars...and let me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richtea57 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 I know; it's the same with Wagon Wheels, which used to be the size of, well wagon wheels. And, in a vaguely similar vein (because Wagon Wheels only came from the school tuck shop), I want to know why i can no longer get Potato Puffs. Fact and online? Surely and oxymoron?
