What are you watching tonight?

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

I wore one at 14, but you legged it home rapido off the bus and got changed. Things like that were a serious health hazard up Halliwell. :wink:

Bolton School blazers always went down a treat in Halliwell... Particularly popular with the rough boys of Whitecroft Road... :wink:

Never had a problem with mine in Adlington. Worst was a bit of verbal bashing with the most astounding lack of wit I think I have ever heard. Friend of mine was walking home with his blazer on, the crest of which for those who don't know is a big cockerel, a big massive cockerel, or cock for short, if you like, on the blazer. My friend is accosted by a would-be comedian, who points at the badge with a look of amusement in his eye, 'here we go' thinks my friend, another lovely tired joke about cocks... 'here, mate' the other boy begins, 'is that a chicken on your blazer? hahahahah you've got a chicken on your blazer hahaha'. Wonderful.

But never any trouble, which I find surprising, given, as we all know, kids these days are a bunch of hoodie wearing knife brandishing hoodlums, with no respect, whereas back in the day everything was sunshine and light, and nobody never did nothing wrong because we all knew old Hargreaves the grocer would give us a clip if he caught us scrumping any apples. It were a more innocent time I tell you. [/i]

Really? Always found it a load of tediously predictable rubbish, am I missing something?

saw half of one the other day for the very first time - they were camping somewhere - was basically a vehicle for them not very amusingly hitting each other - about as funny as a nasty groin rash. (though I may be missing a subtle sub-plot?) anyway - had to turn it off due to extreme tedium...

You were there? Are you a re-incarnation? :wink:

Till you turned sixteen and started doing the town, ties were only worn for church and school photos. Death by strangulation could have occurred. :D

I watched that Green Zone the other night, was pretty good – bit sensationalist, Bourne but in the Army, still enjoyable.

Watched 'The Boat That Rocked' last night. Really enjoyed it, but read some unfavourable reviews of it afterwards. Music in it was top notch as well.

Aye, but St Josephs had already moved by then. Used to be in Hobart Street, only a couple of hundred yards away from our mortal enemies. One being a Catholic school and the other a Protestsant one didn't help relations much. Just another reason for everything from snowball fights to more serious issues. Anyway, bck on track, watched Bolton get cheated out of at least a point last night. :wink:

watched an old creepy on Monday night with the kids - "The Others"

they were acting all brave and un-creeped until the door slammed and they all jumped - moments like that should be bottled! 8)

Mad Men is quality! January Jones is a bonus!

Isn't Mad Men the title of that 90 minute fireside chat between three men in suits on ITV at 8.30 tonight?
