COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

It resembles "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" over here.
Before I got married for the first time and left for South Carolina for a year, I had another school board job where I worked nights. During my dinner break I was able to watch television. But the only channel I could get was P.B.S. (Public broadcast) And there are always horrible shows on there.
Anyway, as it happened, they started showing some British T.V. show called "Are you being served". I started watching it and liked it. Clearly many episodes weren't imported because the cast switched around quite a bit from show to show.
"One foot in the grave" was even better. But again....not many episodes. (They kept a pet tortoise)

Who wants to be a millionaire is a different format. We have that too

Are you being served? was a fixture of the 1970s which my family used to enjoy. They've just done a one off remake, but it was disappointing.

One foot in the grave was brilliant

Then there was another show I only saw twice about an elderly lady and a man who was death that became freinds.
But death seemed to be having a hard time.

No joke here John, this was playing here when I read your post.


BOB DYLAN
"One More Cup of Coffee"

Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie
But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf
And your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

I sit with drink in hand preparing for bed…sigh…

........sung with Emmy Lou Harrris I believe - I have the album it's on - 'Desire'
Some great tracks on that - some of Dylan's more melodic tunes!

"I do NOT believe it" Good old Victor Meldrew, - that was a very funny show.

Still strange. I got him up again for a soak.
He has eaten - I finely chopped his food and hand fed him.
He won't stay near his heat sources and lies in cooler areas, and when he walks he is raised up well but slow and his hind legs seem to be feeling their way. I can't see a problem with his feet though. I think I may take him to the vet for a check up.

You'll have to go to that place in the sky to find out how heavy your pie is......
