MrPin Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Are you 'tooled up' yet for when she comes back as a zombie? You've be watching "Brain Dead"? Yes I have a rotary mower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mum hasn't come back as a Zombie yet, but I can still hear her tutting every time I put an extra sugar in my tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not tea in that cup is it? If you put extra sugar in it, the doctors will think you are diabetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPin Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Well now I have been to the funeral. Nice non religious one. I thought it rather tasteful by my standards. The best thing was a convoy of black extra long cars blocking the A43, by driving at 25 mph in both lanes. I think these funeral directors have a sense of fun. I hope the bloke in the Astra was late for his ball bearing conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPin Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 MrPin's Mum did her bit for the War Effort too. She knew every grease nipple on a Messerchmitt Bf109! Actually you are thinking of my aunt. Not really related, but always "Aunt Elsa" to us kids. She did indeed push paper planes around on a big map for the Luftwaffe.

MrPin Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Very nice Porca. Far too lardy-dah for mum! We had Vera Lynn "We'll meet again", Brahm's lullaby, and a "nice cup of tea", by Binnie Hale. I think my sister chose them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPin Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Eh? She's still dead? She's not the Queen Mother, and will not have a State resurrection, of the "undead" escaping the Cenotaph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did indeed push paper planes around on a big map for the Luftwaffe. My gran also did work on planes. Did all the checks on the Lancaster bombers (I think if I remember right) before they took off near Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland. They may even have exchanged Morse code.

The Masked Tulip Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Is it true that when you push those ones on the map around the real ones move correspondingly? There was an episode of Stargate where they found what they thought was an alien Sims-like video game and so began playing it for fun. Some time later they visited a planet and realised that every move they had been making in the video game had been happening to the people on the planet.

Steppenpig Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I always thought in Pearl Harbour, the aircraft scenes looked like they'd been done with kids running around with models, going "nnyyymmmmmmmm dakadakadaka..." and then airbrushing the kids out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first encountered the poem when I played the part of Arviragus, one of the two brothers who share the song in Shakespeare's original. Loved it then, and then all the more when I encountered Finzi's gorgeous music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPin Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Well I feel completely knackered. My sister did most of the graft/organising. And I can't imagine what dad feels like after nearly 60 years of marriage. I shall now contemplate Chinese Morse code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
