Jo is fascinated by the calculator watch and now wants one

Who wants to lay odds that this vid starts a mad rush over to ebay?

Wow. Thank you for sharing.
Some of the things & people in the video will come up time to time on the TV. But I will say I hardly recognize any of it. Granted though since I heard Bat Out Of Hell it given me an appreciation for that decade & I like talking and hanging with people from this era. I rarely get along and enjoy company my own age of 25 :) Including a lot of film & music.

Guess what I like most especially the music, the cars .. some of the ladies too, wow

There's some things I like about my time I've had so far (1987 onward), but I often find myself looking further back before I was born haha :)
Suppose that would make me Meat Loaf fan I am. But I'm so involved in his present work like all of us here. What I like now is people my own age don't frown at me for liking an 'older' artist. It's music. Rock on! :)

Curious who was the fella that died on stage?

Tommy Cooper, genius on the stage, but could be a bit of a ~~~~~~~ off it.

I used to love Tommy Cooper when I was a young magician, even did a few tribute acts to him.
I read the biography of him, For The Love Of Tommy, written by his long term mistress Mary Fieldhouse, and it certainly took some of the shine off.
I still think he's a funny bloke, but some of the enjoyment is taken away by knowing he was a bit of a git.
It's not a book i'd recomend to a fan of Tommy.

One story I thought was quite funny in the book was the origin of one of his gags.
He used to say "Went out on a date last night, she was a funny girl" and pull out a bra with three cups.
This gag came about when Tommy's housekeeper told him the hotel in he had stayed in recently had rung up to tell them Mrs Cooper had left her bra at the hotel, would Mr Cooper like them to mail it back to her? The housekeeper knew true well that Tommy's wife hadn't been with him.
Tommy told the housekeeper that he'd attend to it.
He quickly phoned Mary and told her to go and buy two new bras, and get straight on the train back to the hotel. On the way he had her cut one of the cups out the bra, cut the other bra in half, and stitch the whole thing back together. She said she was getting some very funny looks on the train as she hacked away at those bras

She then picked her own bra up from the hotel, and mailed the three cup bra to Tommy, pretending it was sent by the hotel.

It's often the way that the people who are especially funny to a crowd are usually b*****ds in their personal lives, Freddie Starr's another one like that
