The Smashingly British Thread

I really like the Fawlty Towers episode with the rat. 😀

"I booked a room with a view when I book a room with a view I except to be able to see the sea."

"You can see the sea its over there between the land and the sky!"

 

[milagros317]

Yes, that's one of the really good lines from that show. 😀

 

[Ignatz]

"You are Orally men?"

My favorite episode, "Basil the Rat," was first telecast in 1979. 😀

 

[amk714]

For Milagros317 ...

Enjoy. 😀

Basil: "Manuel, this is a rat."

Manuel: " Is not rat, is Filigree Siberian hamster."

 

[milagros317]

Ah, the very episode. Thanks for the photo, amk714. 😀

How about that royal wedding that happened a few months ago?

I will not make any Camilla jokes

 

[milagros317]

I will refrain from all Camilla jokes as well. 😀

I love Diana as much as the next person, but I think Camilla should be given a chance. She's not all that bad. But I'm not British, so maybe I just don't care that much about what happens to the royal family. 😛

P.S. If I'm allowed to make fun of Prince Charles, I'd like to say I've always thought his ears were too big for his head.

Of course, the greatest British television show of all time was "The Avengers." 😀

 

[amk714]

Yes, and Emma Peel was the best part about that show.

 

[milagros317]

Indeed so, I was in love with her when that show was new. 😀

 

[amk714]

John Steed was cool too, but he was no Emma Peel. 😛

 

[General Zod]

Three of the best years of my life were spent in the UK when I was in the USAF

 

[amk714]

Where were you stationed at, General Zod? If you don't mind me asking. 😀

 

[General Zod]

RAF Lakenheath From Nov.1987 to 1990 Even though it was a Yank base it had RAF in fron of the base's name

 

[amk714]

Cool. 😀 RAF Lakenheath, England

 

[milagros317]

Let's get back to Mrs. Emma Peel. 😀

 

[amk714]

Whatever you say. 😀

 

[milagros317]

Ah, one of my favorite scenes, Emma in the stocks.

 

[mark 19]

Ohhhh I just saw that on TV yesterday for the first time

 

[milagros317]

When I was 15, I was desperately in love with Mrs. Emma Peel. 😀
