Subject: RE: BS: P.O.E.T.S. From: Mark Clark Date: 19 Oct 01 - 10:53 AM I'm familiar with the acronym P.O.E.T.S but CRACKERJACK as an acronym is not meaningful to me. Lyndi-loo, help me out here. - Mark |

Subject: RE: BS: P.O.E.T.S. From: Noreen Date: 19 Oct 01 - 11:37 AM Meanies! Mark, there was, all through my childhood it seemed, a childrens' programme on the BBC which began: "It's Friday, CRACKERJACK!!!!" The final word being yelled at great volume by all the children in the audience. Hence Lyndi-loo's response. Important things like that lodge permanently in the memory banks... Happy weekend, all. :0) Noreen |

Subject: RE: BS: P.O.E.T.S. From: Dead Horse Date: 19 Oct 01 - 03:06 PM I've only just got rid of my Cabbage. The wife gave me an ultimatum, it was either her or The Cabbage. The Cabbage did hum a bit after all those years, and it couldn't darn my socks. So, regretfully, The Cabbage went. .....(sigh) I do miss it. AND THE PENCIL !!! |

Subject: RE: BS: P.O.E.T.S. From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 19 Oct 01 - 05:49 PM And it's Crackerjack
Aren't search engines wonderful!
And aren't acronyms as well. Such as NORWICH, even though it's spelled wrong. |

Subject: RE: BS: P.O.E.T.S. From: Cappuccino Date: 20 Oct 01 - 03:56 AM Apparently Peter Glaze of Crackerjack had a very distinguished comedy history - with the Crazy Gang at one time. He even did a one-man show at the Edinburgh Festival about 20 years ago. Oh dear, why do we remember these things....? - Ian B |

Subject: RE: BS: P.O.E.T.S. From: Gareth Date: 30 Nov 01 - 06:08 PM And there we were, 5 pm on a Friday night at the claims factory at Swansea. The building was empty by 1702 hours. Well Nearley empty, Just ME and the Manager. and no I wasn't grovelling, the managers car was blocking my car in. In days gone by I had dealt with Marine and Aviation Claims ME " I've seen films of people leaving burning Aircraft slower than this place on a Friday evening " Mnager " Yes - and the only reason your still here, is your waiting for me.!" A fair comment I suppose. Gareth |
