LK you're a chef aren't you?

You think Shimuls is good?

Incidentally I think Shimul's is "closed for refurbishment" at the moment, wonder what that means

Think its not bad (there are levels of food and you do get what you pay for). Having served my time in Bradford, I can safely say I know my curries.

Last person I spoke to said son had taken over from Dad and he was modernising the menu and decor.

If that son was Tanj, then he's far more suited to what he was doing before organising hip-hop nights in Manchester for Mossides finest. Also the chances are that they will end up dserving dog, the lad is ever the wheeler dealer

Perhaps it really is being refurbed then!

If we're on about film posters, I wouldn't say no to this...

Saw the original Third Man LGM, Cotton and Welles, very atmospheric.

No real surprises here for mine, but I'd go for Gregory Peck and Jean Simmons in THE BIG COUNTRY (one of my all time favourite films)as a close second.

Top film! (Don't suppose you saw it when in was first released in '49.) Fortunately they've never re-made it.

Do street hoardings class as posters?

If so then my favourite's the one from Club 18-30s campaign.

I did. I was ten and a weekly visit to the cinema was a big treat. I remember the zither music of the film theme and a lot of dodging around corners in the dark by old Orson as Harry Lyme and all in black and white. Twas all Edward G Robinson, Edward my Son, Citizen Kane, G.Men, Roy Rogers and all that stuff then. I can remember going to the Capitol on Churchgate to see Larry Parks in the Jolson Story. Had to sit through "Bells of St Mary's" too (pretty boring when you're kids) then a film about Scottish Clans knocking seven bells out of each other with claymores (much more like it). I think it was "The Highlander" or something. Biggest let down was watching a trailer for this film about Arabs on camels, and foreign legion forts and desert type stuff in technicolor( Please, please dad, can we come next week and see it, pleeeeeeze?) Got there all agog and it was a freakin musical "The Desert Song" I was mortified. Burt Lancaster and Gary Cooper soon after in "Vera Cruz" made up for it though.

Happy days and a great time for Maltese Falcons and Casablancas and stuff. And then there was Weismuller of course.
Sorry, got a bit carried away there but Dujon might remember a few of them.

TANGO, mi lad, a weekly visit to the cinema is not a treat, it's a habit. Unlike you rich nobs I only remember going to the flicks twice, both at the place in Crompton Way (which I believe has had a few lives since then). The first was Bambi and the other something involving jeeps and helicopters and vehicles falling into ditches. I have no idea what it was called but, for some reason or other, the word 'eagles' always comes to mind when I think of it. Whilst I recall just about nothing about that film I do remember being impressed by the cloudless blue skies and vivid colours of the countryside. I also think it was set in Africa.

When I was carted out to this country (aged eleven) I did become a Saturday arvo matinee junky; Hopalong Cassidy, The Cisco Kid and similar 'Western' style rubbish. Ee it were good.

Mind you, these were the lead-in to a full length movie - not one of which can I recall, which probably tells you something about the quality.

Talking about the Harry Lyme theme: Did you ever see the Quiller Memorandum? I have always enjoyed the haunting, whistled, theme that movie had. Wednesday's Child? If I recall correctly the opening scene was that of a lit but dank street with drizzle floating around (a bit like Bolton on a fine autumn evening). The movie itself was, well, a bit 'orrible.

Well, I've seen all of them and even own a few but I'm not sure I saw them when they first came out - the only movies I can remember seeing in Bolton at a young age in their first run were Pinnochio (because I collected for Dr. Barnados) and Ivanhoe (where I fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor). I did recover after some of her later movies.

I did, and still do, enjoy watching the monochrome Bogart movies.

If we're going films, then not certain IMO you can beat this one....

.... all a matter of taste of course
