Carry on Camping at Pinewood. Sid James giggles and gurns at Jacob Mogg's Edwardian schoolboy act but I can't bare the supercilious nitwit.
Todays ebay distractions. No.39. Items belonging to Vonetta (Etta Travers) illusionist, magician, dancer, actor, singer and member of the Glasgow Cinema Club.
@TonyDowson5 I assume they will be popping over to Egypt to tell Zahi Hawass that their museums are being disrespectful. Or is this disrespect limited to the UK?
@edwest In Meknes you can see marble looted from the nearby Roman city of Volubilis. Sharif ordered that destruction in 1672 in a break from executing 30k men. Volubilis is well preserved today so 350 years ago it must have been almost pristine. Tantalisingly close to reaching us intact.
@moveincircles I read that as John Tavener (one less r) which still works as a challenge. Apparently Tavener had claimed to be descended from Taverner.

@MysteriosoX@outonbluesix If you have never heard it I would recommend the one off 'Radio Spirit World'. It never became a series but it's one of the best things the pair of them made.
