Funky chicken...



Norman Collier died recently, and just for the memory, I popped on this CLASSIC to remind me of how funny he really was!

Reading his OBIT here, he does seem to have been one of the dwindling genre of comedian who never wanted to upset anyone, and just relied on trying to be funny.

I saw him live in 1978, at 'The Talk of the Midlands', and easily remember all his acts, including the maniacal chicken, but the microphone sequence was always just hilarious...

Michael Caine - 80 years young...



Michael Caine is 80 today, and he is still the icon of the adolescent/maturing/composting/ageing years of a bewildered Scrobs...

Have a drink on me, Gonville/Charlie/Harry, you're the main bloke I'd like to meet one day!

St David's Day Massacre...





So UKIP came second, veeeery close to causing 'The St David's Day Massacre'! I just happened to wake up and hear the result as it happened, so I may be the first non-political blogger to report the result! 

(Actually, there is another blog run by a Mr Grindo Forks, but he may well have been awake as well)!

Daffodils are such a wonderful flower to brighten the beginning of the end of winter, and yesterday, Mrs Scrobs bought her Marie Curie emblem, which was then subsequently mauled by various grand-daughters,, but at least one of them has learned the name of a new flower!

Of course, everyone over The Severn Bridge will have a great day - Bor-eh dah, and I'll play this song, because it looks like he's walking along Camber Sands...
