Wow not really a good day for some.

A great character in M*A*S*H brought a little refinement to the situation RIP

Must admit, I thought it was Mobile, but Google lied.

If I had to actually guess, I would have said Mobile Army Support Hospital.

There was one episode that started, as my foggy memory recalls, with Radar stating that Major Burns had discovered that the M stood for mobile, and so had made tge entire camp up sticks and move 50 yards down the road.

I've worked for a few head teachers who were like that.

I just googled it to get a "like".

In the film, iirc, it was called "mobile".

Surreal few pages in the Dead Thread either way!

Surely Major Burns is a completely different unit ? lol

The wummery between him, Hawkeye, Hunnicut and Hotlips Hoolihan, was sublime.

Top quality writing, with actors who complimented each other perfectly.

I still watch Mash on a regular basis and it`s just as funny today, as it was then.

...a major reason why my daughter became a surgeon. Throughout her school days we watched the old MASH repeats because she loved them. Brilliant TV because it’s timeless. Just had a FaceTime with her and Winchester got a mention. RIP Fella and thanks for more than the memories.

Inventor Trevor Baylis has just died aged 80, I thought it was a wind up.
