Yes I know this is tragic but it has snowed quite a bit here and I am waiting for my wife to have our first baby (4 days overdue) but am sat here watching "Columbo Cries Wolf" and I keep getting a glimpse of a 928 at the suspects mansion who incidentally is a playboy style character that owns a magazine called Bachelor world (plenty of bikini clad women) :wink:

Oh yes, the one where the bad guy has slept with every 'babe of the month' for 10 years... that's 120 nice girlies - I'm not allowed to watch it in case I get ideas with the girls from the WI :lol:. So while my wife is sewing the edging trim onto my new luggage cover, I'm watching the professionals 'Cry Wolf' episode - and the girl character is driving a W reg 924.... in a nice brown colour.

It's not as good as Holiday On The Buses that I watched this morning - that really was funny.

They really were classics weren't they. I got really angry a few years back when I read some snotty arse tv critic describe them as a "droll, unfunny 70s sitcom made into a film" Have these people ever had fun? they obviously can't relate to any of it as it's about real life and having a good time!
Did you know Reg Varney who played Stan was actually 57 when in that film today and spent the whole series playing a single 30 something, even more unbelievable is that Stephen Lewis who played Blakey was actually 20 years younger than Reg Varney!

And pretty accurate, my father & two of my uncles were on LT buses & all echoed that it was close to the truth.
