It's not often I moan but . . . .

Another thing that makes my spine curl backwards is any losing tune on a fruit machine that lasts longer than two seconds.

I can do without a ten minute feature that you're convinced is going to pay dividends, only to end up giving you sod all, followed by a losing tune that goes on so long it could be turned into a West End musical.

In fact anything that takes ages to do what could be done in a fraction of the time.

Petrol pumps with cones on them.

On the other side of the coin, pets with cones on them - entertainment genius ! Watching a dog trying to lick its balls after an op with one of those cone things on is a quality way to pass some time.

[mr lugsy]

drunks with cones on are quite funny too.

[Been-Grant-Mitchell'd!]

Does anyone remember that kids show with Rod Hull and Emu called "The Pink Windmill Show"?

[Scott]

Is it the one where they used to sing ''theres somebody at the door?''

[Been-Grant-Mitchell'd!]

Yes, that's the one Scott. Glad to see someone else remember it.

Bloody hell did this use to annoy me.

They'd be sitting round colouring in, or making boats out of newspaper, when suddenly: "DING DONG!"

Rod would ask "Was that the door?"

"It was!"

"It was the door!"

Then they'd all act like they're on acid while prancing round the room singing: "THERE'S SOMEBODY AT THE DOOR! THERE'S SOMEBODY AT THE DOOR! THERE'S SOMEBODY AT THE DOOR!"

Just answer the bloody thing for God's sake!

If I were to dance round my living room singing "THERE'S SOMEBODY AT THE DOOR!" for ten minutes every time someone rang my doorbell, by the time I got round to answering it, they would've pissed off.

And who was it everytime that bloody bell rang?


Grotbags!!!

And they'd all scream before running off and hiding behind a pot-plant or a curtain.

Surely they could've looked out of the window first, seen it was her and telling her to piss off?

Grotbags?

Rod Hull died when he fell off of his roof trying to adjust his TV aerial to get a better picture for a Man Ure Champions League game, apparantly.

Indeed. Crashed through his greenhouse and landed on the concrete floor.

[Been-Grant-Mitchell'd!]

Just had a picture in my mind of him being on the roof with Emu trying to adjust the ariel.

"Leave it alone Emu, Emu stop it!"

Then losing his footing and sliding down the roof.

"Hold on to me Emu . . . "

That did make me laugh :P

So for rod hull, quite ironically, it literally was TV that killed him!

[Nixxy]

The Pink Windmill Show caused a very unfortunate incident in my neighbours' house when I was younger.

Whenever the phone rang (on the show), Rod would go and open the oven door to answer it because it was a 'hotline'. Genius.

Sadly this led to my neighbour (aged approx. 6) trying to emulate this marvellous idea, at Gas Mark 5, no less.

I'm not sure exactly how they explained all this on the insurance claim.
