69115 2002-08-09 05:26:00 Bruce B. I don't think is was Bletchley, I have a feeling there was one before that, about 1938? Or am I getting mixed up with the first TV? That was by a Scotsman I think. There is more fog between my ears than there used to be, plays havoc with the memory cells.Old Poppa John :( Poppa John (284)

For the record, when I was 13, I was programming in BASIC on my Vic20 that plugged into my TV, saving to a standard audio tape.

I was not mouthing off at people who were wiser/smarter/older than me. I had respect. I also knew to pay attention if I wanted to learn anything.

Don't EVER, compare me to TimYang.

69118 2002-08-09 07:27:00 After 53 postings (or 54) can we let this thread drop off the end and into oblivion? Please.

If Tim posts again, and behaves, answer him. If he misbehaves, just ignore him. If he repetitively misbehaves, Bruce has a big (metaphorical) stick.

69119 2002-08-09 10:48:00 For what it’s worth I think this thread contained some of the finest wit and satire since the days of Sellars, Seacombe, Milligan & Bartine.

For those of you politically correct and deeply concerned about the welfare of what I suspect is a 30+ year old, uni student, doing a thesis in “goon baiting”, he wins!

First pass!

Tim will be pleased!

69120 2002-08-09 10:58:00 B.M. Yeah another Goon Show fan, there has been nothing like it since. Secombe & Milligan have "shot thro". Haven't heard anything of Bentine for a long time. Sellars is still going tho, isn't he? Remembering Poppa John :D :D Poppa John (284)
69121 2002-08-09 11:17:00 Sorry Poppa,

I think Sellers was the first to go? Wife was too much for him as I recall. (What was her name) Would have killed me too! Bartine may be the only one still be alive? Sure brings back great memories. Yea, they wern't just funny they were clever with it.

I suppose your going to tell me you know what a 1Q5GT or a DL36 is, and which was best to listen to them with?

Cheers

Bob
