ONE THING YOU’LL NEVER HEAR

 

One thing you’ll never hear,

And there is absolutely no chance

Of anyone hearing a Hindu say

Oh well, you only live once

I’VE GOT VERY SENSITIVE TEETH

 

I’ve got very sensitive teeth

But I can do nothing bold

I can’t tell the dentist because

They’d be upset that I’d told

I WAS IN SOUTH LONDON

 

I was in south London

And this bloke I met

Said he would attack me,

If I didn’t make a bet,

With the neck of a guitar,

So I said ‘Is that a fret?’

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – THE STRAWBERRY BLONDE (1941)

 “The Strawberry Blonde” is a Musical Romantic Comedy, Screenplay by Julius J. Epstein and Philip G. Epstein, from the Play by James Hagan and Directed by Raoul Walsh.

It’s the story of pugnacious but likable young Dentist, Biff Grimes (James Cagney), around the turn-of-the-century, who lives with his ne'er-do-well father (Alan Hale), and they are both are noted for their scrappy personalities and quick tempers.

However, like every other young man in town, Biff has a crush on gorgeous and flirtatious 'strawberry blonde' Virginia Brush (Rita Hayworth), who gets catcalls every time she walks down the street, but he’s joined in his admiration by his friends, Nick Pappalis (George Tobias), an immigrant Greek barber, and Hugo Barnsfeld (Jack Carson), an unscrupulously ambitious young man who doesn't let anything stand in the way of what he wants, including Virginia.

Meanwhile Virginia’s friend Amy Lind (Olivia de Havilland) sets her cap at Biff.

The Strawberry Blonde is a Charming and entertaining turn-of-the-century romantic comedy and a great film to watch on a rainy afternoon, it will brighten your day.

SEERS OF ANTIQUITY

Seers of antiquity, interpreters

Of signs sent by the Gods

Through bird signs, animal entrails,

Or primitive Runic methods

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

But no one could be bothered

To put him back together again
