Kiss me Quick (unt vatch mein ballroom)

Blackpool Sur Mer (or whatever the German is for Sur Mer )

I think its auf meer, but there are german speakers on here.

Blaupunkt (are they German?)

Or am I asking for another thwaaarting.

Phew

Now how did the song go? OH YES, "HITLER HAS ONLY GOT ONE BALL(ROOM) THE OTHER" ETC ETC, now if he captured blackpool hed have had TWO ball(rooms) .

I bring you a bit of Lanky history and get this.

Towels for the sands anyone?

Yon Pleasure Beach laughing mon would have had to go.

Anyone for a ride on the "Grand National Socialism".

Blackpool am Meer.

Heil !

I don't think he would want it for his playground now. The last time I was there the place was a filthy mess and a complete rip off.

Ve haf vays of making you rock.

So it was on Fylde that 'Mein Herr' concessions were dictated for Blackpool.

He could have re-named it Braunpool.

Braunpool - Mein Holiday Kampf.

You ought to missus.

It was a struggle to come up with that one too, Dostaf but I take your blaupunkt.

[I thought it would be something you might come up with on a bad night.)

I like Blackpool.

says it all really doesnt it.... hitler was truly mad

Not as mad as I am. I'm bleedin' fuming.

I resurrected this owd thread to give the mester a subtle clue to a naughty innuendo. And what's he do?

Blurts the flaming answer out.

Makes me look like some ruffian or other.

The things you have to resort to here.

There used to be a Flume in Blackpool.

Hope you're not still fuming, Dostaf.

Did you know ...

Blackpool is hoping to be the town given city status as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012.

The UK's local authorities can submit bids for their towns to take on city status, to commemorate the Queen's 60 years on the throne.

Will Blackpool rise to that occasion?

Stuart Hall appears again.

I've been doing some 'reaearch' lately and was just thinking what the name for the hats worn by Mr Hall and Mr Jones the Butcher were called. They're known as boaters here, but I think the Americans call them 42nd Street Skimmers. Or Skimmers from some street or other.

Speaking of skimming. Those Log Flume boats/cars weren't flung away, but sold-off and the money given to charity.

City of Blackpool eh? Has a rink to it, Jo Anne.

Do you do, 'reaearch' when you are on the toilet during a particularly difficult time?

See 'St Aldhelm's' thread.

Damned coolie.

Fiddlesticks!

In 2006, carriages from the Log Flume were sold off after it closed.

Lucky children at Singleton Primary School used one in their woodlands walk adventure after winning a Gazette competition to get their hands on the last 'log'

Here

I may be wrong about the money going to charity.

Then again Fair play to BPB

I've just been researching into that - too late was the cry.

Wikipedia - Log Flume - Opened 1967, closed 3 September 2006. On the day the ride closed, the 24 log flume boats were sold off to the public at £25 each.

Pleasure Beach, Blackpool fans will be sold on a unique opportunity to purchase a piece of history. Dozens of items from Beaver Creek are going under the hammer in a gavel-smashing charity memorabilia auction. (Dec 2010)

Speaking of gavel smashing;

I've recently been doing some 'research' and watched a dramatisation of a wartime court scene. The Chairman of the bench had a gavel.

Now-

Not long ago there was a booby trap question on QI concerning Judges and gavels.

Here in the UK they aren't used. It's something that's entered our psyche through films and TV.

a dramatisation of a wartime court scene. The Chairman of the bench had a gavel in the UK?

That's bang out of order.

(I ought to have said I need to get my skates on about my belated research, after you saying the City of Blackpool has a rink to it.)

I've never seen the Ice Drome, Jo Anne.

It is 'The world's oldest purpose-built ice theatre' - so it was cutting edge once.

There was a good fly-on-the-wall series about BPB around twelve years ago. Amanda Thompson was running the show in the Ice Drome (literally) she seemed like a right tartar.

Would she not let things slide?

Oh no, Jo Anne. You wouldn't mess with her.

She'd been to a Swedish finishing school or something like that.

I definitely wouldn't be able to stand up to her then.

She's on youtube.

'Amanda Thompson & Her Wrath'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tRYbpFmToM

She says the B word, and mentions a Jo Anne.

Probably short of some vitamins or something. And I wanted her in that play what I wrote.

Have you any idea of the fast forwarding I've done recently, Jo Anne?

And the beggar was online all the time.

You see what I mean with the Verger's expression.

And I wanted her in that play what I wrote.

Is that Wise?

Probably not.

She'd be after all her own way, by the look of her.
