Subject: RE: BS: Is the Rapture Underway???
Now Rapaire the Big Dig isn't underway....it's completed. ta-da
Only thing is it is seems to be getting underway again as rumour has it they built the whole thing with Lego, upholstery pins and Mechano bits and it ain't holding up!

A little aside:
Do any of the Brit Mudcatters remember Frankie Howard and his TV Comedy series in the 70s called 'Up Pompeii'?.
Seems to me a few expressions from that show that could apply to the either come and gone or still to come Rap-ture!

This line from Howard's character Lurcio sums up those who are amused by the possiblity that SOME (quite a few it would seem) will be left behind.... "titter ye not missus!"

A few of the Characters I recall from the series: (Just for giggles at the names)
Ludicrus Sextus
Ammonia
Bilius
Voluptua
Prosperus Maximus
Scrubba
Erotica
Nausius
Odius
Villanus
There was one female Character who did a lot of "Woe is me"-ing on the Show. Anyone remember her name?


No offers of a free "Estate by the Sea" as yet...but I can wait, unlike the Rapturites that will be leaving us soon. Remember you can't take it with you...:)
Best Wishes,
Jude
