We drove to the ford yesterday. It was such a good day, overcast and windy but with the bite of autumn in the air. The moors looked gorgeous, wind swept and strangely colourful in a muted sort of way. We stopped at our usual place and Corey and I had a short walk along the stream as James put the exhaust cover back on the car which had fallen off somehow. That walk was good in so many ways, watching Corey climb down to the stream, his happy face as he threw stones into the water. Watching and laughing at the sheep that stood seemingly glaring at us. But mostly the reminder that physically I am getting better. It's a reminder I need because I get pissed off going to the doctors so often but being there brought back memories of how terrible I felt when we first went there. Sure, my energy levels are shot just now but really, compared to then I'm so much better.

The only bad thing was the amount of litter that had been left. I mean is it so hard to put rubbish in your car and bin it later? Litter louts annoy the hell out of me. It's pure laziness and there's no need for it.

Then we called into Auntie Irene's on the way home and she fed us sweet and sour chicken so we came home happy and full :)

This morning I've been sniggering at something I saw on seiyaharris's LJ and gacked it to show you here. Rainbow was a kids show that was on when I was young ( about a million years ago ) The main characters were Geoffrey, Bungle the bear, Zippy the...whatever the hell he was and George the pink Hippo. George was the campest thing ever, hell the whole show was camp. That's them below.



Becca had a link to what's supposed to be an actual Rainbow episode. Whether it was shown is another thing, but knowing that show anything's possible. Anyway, the link is here. It's really funny and worth waiting for it to download. Or the script is behind the cut.



The sketch opens with Zippy peeling a banana...

Zippy: "One skin, two skin, three skin, four.... "

George: "Zippy, where is Bungle?"

Zippy: "I think Geoffrey is trying to get him up"

We see a view of the door and hear Bungle moaning from behind it.

Bungle: "Geoffrey, I can't get it in"

Geoffrey: "You managed it last night"

Bungle: "I know, let's try it round the other way around. Ooooooh, I've got it in"

Bungle and Geoffrey enter the studio with Bungle carrying a hammer and peg kit

Bungle: "Would you stick this on the shelf, George"

George: "I can't reach, you'll have to stick it up yourself,

Geoffrey (to camera) " Hello everyone, today we are talking about playing"

Bungle: "Playing with each other, Geoffrey?"

Geoffrey: "Yes Bungle, do you have a special friend that you like to play with?"

George: "Yesterday we played with our balls.

Are we going to play with our friend's balls today?"

Bungle: "Yes, and we can play with our twangers as well."

Geoffrey (to camera): Have you seen Bungles twanger?

Zippy: "Oh I have, I showed him how to pluck with it."

Bungle: "It's my plucking instrument."

Geoffrey asks the audience if they can pluck like Bungle

Zippy: "I can, I'm the best plucker here."

George: "And I'm good at banging. My peg's hard isn't it Zippy?"

Zippy: "Well of course it is, Your peg wouldn't go in if it was soft."

Geoffrey: "Let's get back to Bungle's twanger."

Bungle (excited): "Oooooh Geoffrey, we could all paint our twangers couldn't we?"

George: "Let's sing that plucking song."

Bungle: "Rod and Roger can get their instruments out and Jane has got two lovely Maracas."

Singers Rod, Roger and Jane enter.

Rod: "We could hear you all banging away."

Roger: "Banging can be fun."

Jane: "Ooooh yes, and I was banging away all last night with Rod and Roger."

Roger (looking sad): "Yes, but it broke my plucking instrument."

Geoffrey: "Never mind Roger, let sing the plucking song, come on

everybody get your instruments out."

Rod (to Jane): "Do you want to blow on my pipe while I'm twanging away?"

Jane: "Oh no Rod, I was blowing a lot with Roger last night. But would you

like to play with my maracas?"

Zippy: "No, let's just pluck away with our twangers."

Bungle: "Yes, it doesn't matter what size your twanger is."

Zippy: "I've got a big red one."

George: "I've only got a tiny twanger. But it works well and I like to play with it."

Geoffrey (to viewers): "Well, have you got your twangers out? And remember,

you can bounce your balls at the same time. If you haven't got any balls,

ask a friend if you can play with his. Now, let's all sing the plucking song."

Everyone in studio: "Pluck, pluck, pluck away, we're going to pluck all day today."

"Pluck, pluck, pluck away, we're going to pluck all day."

Geoffrey (to viewers): " It's time for us all to go now, but don't forget to

get your twangers out and play with your balls." "See you soon. Bye."



Thanks to everyone that answered that picture meme yesterday. It was cool to see what you all picked, and now I'm off to actually answer the comments. I'm still behind in the flist reading but I've a free day so I'll catch up I hope.

But before I go. You know what's annoying? Idiots who knock on my door and run away and people that phone my house at 1:30 and 3:30 in the morning and withhold their numbers...grrrrr.
