HI Dave

I read your earlier post and I have the same kind of choices as to when you watch and what you watch on TV.

One exception is that I like Vera. Watched it on Sunday night and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I think Brenda Blethyn is a great actress. Especially as I read today because she is now 69 years old she is unable to perform her old party trick. I quote " Brenda Blethyn , 69 said she used to be able to balance a pint of beer on her head and pick up a scarf on the floor without spilling a drop".

Surely any man could like a lady who could do that??

At our rugby club we had a guy who used to stand on his head and drink a pint of beer without spilling it. It had to be one of the old dimpled pots.

In that fine Play Mr Banglestein's Boys it showed a guy biting a pint pot and chewing the piece around in his mouth.

This was written by Colin Welland who played local rugby union and was better known in the 60's TV Police Drama Z Cars.

Cheers

Mike
