HAIR TODAY

I’m losing my hair so fast now

It’s vanishing without a trace

I noticed it because everyday

It takes longer to wash my face

ARE YOU WEARING CAMI-KNICKERS?

Are you wearing Cami-knickers?

Well might I ask the reason why?

Now they’re deliciously sexy things

Though not really appropriate on a guy

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – LOST HORIZON (1937)

 

“Lost Horizon” is a fantasy adventure drama based on the book by James Hilton and Directed by Frank Capra.

World weary British diplomat Robert Conway (Ronald Colman) and a small group of civilians crash land their plane in the Himalayas, and are rescued by the people of the mysterious, Eden-like valley of Shangri-la, a place of eternal youth, natural beauty, and free from strife, where the lush green valley is protected by the mountains that surround it from the harshness of the weather and the wider world outside, where the clouds of World War II are gathering.

They are greeted by Chang (H.B. Warner) and are treated as guests, and Robert also meets another resident, Sondra (Jane Wyatt) who he grows close to, but one day Conway is invited to meet the spiritual leader the High Lama (Sam Jaffe) and enlightened as to the truth about the valley which affects him profoundly.

Conway wants to stay and feels that he is meant to be there, but some of the group, including his brother George (John Howard), want to leave and find their way back to the world as they know it, but porters to guide them are hard to find.

So will Robert be drawn by duty and family ties to help his brother or follow his heart and stay with Sonja in Shangri-La.

 

There is something special about classic films made before the days of computer-generated visual effects, a time when movies depended on great stories, great performances and great direction to make a memorable film, and that is definitely the case with “Lost Horizon”.

MY NEW GIRLFRIEND IS FROM GLASGOW

 

My new girlfriend is from Glasgow

And when I met her Father and Mother

I found they were incredibly posh, 

They served deep fried Ferrero Rocher

AS WE APPROACHED THE AIRPORT

 

As we approached the airport

The warning light went on

And I had to return the stewardess

To the upright position

I HATE THE ONE PENCE PIECES

 

I hate the one pence pieces

5p’s and tuppence’s

I suppose you think it strange

But I simply don’t like change

I’M NOT SURE IF INDEED IT’S ME

 

I’m not sure if indeed it’s me

Or maybe its intentional irony

But you can hear the approach

Of the daily “Roach Coach”

The chime being the announcer

As it plays La Cucaracha
