But then we in the USA have good old Benny Hill Show and Keepin Up Apperances with Hyason (excuse my spelling if wrong) from the good old UK. These give us a good outlook on life in the UK.

Hi, Guys! I saw some Goats on Afghanistan TV lately! No matter what system they use.. it looked Great! They play kind of Polo with it. Much more amusing than Benny Hill, we are plagued by that in Holland too. By the way, I once owned a British van, Bedford, and yes, it leaked oil. The UK manufactured outboard engine I had was worse, it leaked (spit out) shaft bearings. And failed, the Bedford didn't. Are we not getting very,very off-topic now? Just wonder... Write this to test my signature too.. tried to find a thread where I would not disturb anybody... To provide for the possibility that my signature still doesn't work: Bye to you all, Wim van Bemmel Robert Nelson wrote: {Quote hidden}> But then we in the USA have good old Benny Hill Show and Keepin Up Apperances > with Hyason (excuse my spelling if wrong) from the good old UK.

I understand that "staring at a blank screen" is the view most non-hollywood film makers have on action movies... :-( [] > We're blessed with a lot of both US, and (nowadays, thank heavens) [] > UK material on our screens here.
