Ray Walston. He was very good in The Apartment as one of Jack Lemmon's sleazy office managers.

Used to make a bow and arrow and tie a sparkler to the arrow and fire it in the air, pretending we were Apache indians.

Just a quick query to fellow scousers and what you think of the new “ Grey Bins” situation, I’m putting mine out tonight, this bin is for waste food, used tea bags, potato and other veg. peelings, I looked out this morning at the other side of my road, whose bins get collected today and I couldn’t see any grey bins had been put out, has any one else, on here, got any opinions about these bins, am I wasting my time in utilising this bin?

The most dangerous fireworks ever produced - sparks flying into uncovered firework tins full of all kinds instantly let off in a crowd - plus stupid kids trying to pick them up after using them red hot causing a bad hand burn - true but sad ...

The problem I have is that I have little or no food waste. I have 2 compost bins and a feline waste disposal operative for any meat. At best it will only get bones when I cook a steak or chicken.

Only if you are a Scouser and live in Liverpool where an additional bin ( grey one) came into use this week.

We used double barrel popguns )the kids ones that shot out a cork on a string) and put a penny banger and a stone in each barrel.
Banger guns,we’d get locked up these days

Remember the sense of achievement when moving on to the next book

Does anyone remember the Terry Wogan Janet and John double entendre fests.
Very funny.

Reminds me of the threat that doing a certain something would make you go blind.
