Post by: Clive on February 01, 2010, 09:49: Especially during my brief acting career at school when I played Polonius. I was made up with a bald wig to make me look old. Now I wouldn't need the make up! ;D

Only a bald wig? It explains a lot. :scoot:

Post by: Clive on February 01, 2010, 10:28: Sadly I do have a photo. Next time I go up the attic I'll get the programme down and scan the photo. ;D

Post by: Clive on February 01, 2010, 16:26: I still fancy the girl who played the part of my daughter Ophelia. Is this wrong of me? :o:

Post by: Rik on February 01, 2010, 16:28: It depends on your social taboos. ;D

Post by: Clive on February 01, 2010, 16:35: This is soooo true Rik. ;D I wonder if she still looks as young as she did back in 1961?
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Rik on February 01, 2010, 16:38: Well, how can I put this... Do you? ;D
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Clive on February 01, 2010, 17:23: Thank goodness - no. ;D
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Rik on February 01, 2010, 17:24: Well, there you go then. :)
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Clive on February 01, 2010, 17:31: She, on the other hand, looked positively stunning with her long blonde hair and very cute smile. I think I had to bury her alive. I hope she's still breathing after all these years! :o:
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Rik on February 01, 2010, 17:31: Should have given her a straw, Clive. :)
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Clive on February 01, 2010, 17:44: I'd like to have given her more than that Rik. ;D
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Rik on February 01, 2010, 17:48: I didn't mean to imply anything about size, honest. :devil:
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Clive on February 01, 2010, 18:06: I wish! Strangely she's on Friends Reunited and moved to America to live. Not taking any chances obviously. ;D
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Rik on February 01, 2010, 18:08: I've noticed people I knew doing that too. Will the last person to leave please turn out the lights.

Post by: Clive on February 01, 2010, 18:24: It's not a site I visit very often. Far too depressing for my liking!
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Rik on February 01, 2010, 18:43: Most of the social networking sites are, though considerably less so than Twitter. ':|
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Clive on February 01, 2010, 19:36: Twitterers are very sad people. Readers of tweets are even sadder. 8-) I have never even seen Twitter.
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Simon on February 01, 2010, 21:41: Me neither, Clive, I'm pleased to say. :)
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Rik on February 02, 2010, 09:45: Oddly I looked at it yesterday, as there was a story about the wife of the speaker getting upset with someone revealing her social habits. TBH, I was yawning by the end of the first sentence. Do I really care that she likes Starbucks or fancies a workman? No. If I was in politics, perish the thought, I wouldn't dream of showing myself to be so shallow. Well, not before election anyway.

Post by: Simon on February 02, 2010, 09:56: I wouldn't vote for a candidate who tweets!
Title: Re: Amateur Radio Articles and Newsletter
Post by: Rik on February 02, 2010, 10:05: Me neither. I'm sure they do it to demonstrate how important the minutiae in their lives is. To me, it just signals a small, ego-centric, mind.
