Bard Report post Posted May 14, 2008 This was mentioned a while back, but does anyone want to get together for a sortie into the Science Museum in South Ken? We can't manage the first weekend of half term, but Wed 28th to the Sunday is fine. If not, see you in Greenwich. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathryn Report post Posted May 14, 2008 I mentioned it a while ago and it got lost in the middle of a thread somewhere, so thanks Bard for reviving the idea. Half term is impossible for me because of work and the play I'm in, but go ahead anyway. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mumble Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Tis more the combo of science museum/lovely peeps that attracts, Mumblie. Now if you could transport the science museum up Helvellyn or wherever ... Now that sounds like a challenge ... It's free to get in the science museum, so I could shift the exhibits bit by bit and they might not notice ... *wonders whether a Babbage difference engine will fit under jumper and set off scanners/police sniffer dogs at stations* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bard Report post Posted May 14, 2008 M*A*S*H* Loved it, saw every episode. There are distinct advantages to this being old...er business, and watching classic TV when it was new is one of them. Saw Sting on Jonathon Ross, turned 50 he is. I remember seeing him in the late 70s when was still an ex-teacher called Gordon. Likewise Sir Bob, and Ian Dury. And the venues weren't even 3/4 full.

Did you ever watch Kung Fu with David Carradine? We bought JP the DVDs as we guessed he would like them & have watched them all together.

baddad Report post Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Nononono, you are thinking of I think it was Master Po? The blind guy who teaches Grasshopper! There were actually 4 different 'teachers' - all very mystical and deep - identical quadruplets, all blind from birth... You got the surname right & their Christian names were 'Ying', 'Hai', 'Tong' and 'Tiddle', (BNNITO) Personally I preferred Monkey - 'Nature of Monkey is irrepressable' but got a bit confused about how much I liked Tripitaka... As well as Tripitaka i also liked Alexandra Basitido in 'The Champions' and Lyndsey Wagner in 'The bionic woman'... so perhaps i had a thing about woment who jumped in slow motion and went 'Boooooooooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggg' For the laydeez there was always zebedee - he went Booooooooooooooooooiiiiiiiinnnnnngggggg! too (but not in slo mo) Though hoppity only went 'diddly-dum-diddly-dee, diddly-dum-diddly-dee' (thinks.... that'll send the daft old bats off into one of those nostelga trips and we can get back to serious business around here... ) Edited May 15, 2008 by baddad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bard Report post Posted May 15, 2008 These ancient series were the beginning of my fascination with ancient China! And The Water Margin, remember the Outlaws of the Marshes? Monkey was a 16th century novel by Wu Ch'eng-en, using characters from Chinese mythology, I have a copy of the text, in the Chinese section of the house library. If I live long enough after I retire, I'm going to learn Mandarin..... and Icelandic. But that's a different section of the library. Having a job gets in the way of having a life you know, I want to buy and watch Kung Fu now, the entire series. Might have to settle for egg fried rice tonight instead.
