We need the old faces here. We know some of you are Tossblogging away in your new names. The hunt for hokeykokeyalex is driving me insane. OK then, I will retract my earlier remarks: Manchester is not the capital of Yorkshire. There, is that better, HKA?
Keep in mind that there is no such thing as 'off-topic' here. Please feel free to discuss anything and everything that takes your fancy.
My aerial has packed up again and I will not be able to TOSwatch tonight.
Click to expand the historic Thanet pictures, some thoughts on shops and
shopping in Ramsgate and of course a Christmas ramble
-
So starting with some archive photos of Ramsgate shops.
Of course back in the day Ramsgate was full of, "are you being served"
shops, a situation base...

The bare bones of it are that at least you will not be subjected to Davina's rapier like wit.I still hear the sickly "all your grey Mother" from that advert. I am ensuring I can hit the mute button in pitch darkness before the show starts. Toswatch does sound soooooooo naughty, I love it when you talk dirty to us, lol.
ReplyDeleteNice pics.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that Bill Smith is our man t?
ReplyDeletePlease have a look at post 12 - love to know what you think. So false.
ReplyDeleteastroplums 19.24.
ReplyDeleteCould be Sergay from the meerkats advert. Simples................
Bill Smith is blazing away on great form on TOSBLOG tonight.
ReplyDeleteastroplums, re Tossblog #12,
ReplyDeleteThat is certainly not a Russian. It strikes me as the the work of a muddled juvenile mind. We have met him before.
BILL SMITH - who he?
ReplyDeleteI like what he says. He is angry. There is a barrage of exclamation marks. Is HKA?
JH 2002 I thought HKA too.
ReplyDeleteBlogs 12 , 48 , 81. Too childish for words - we have met him before.
Most damning blog for some time...the presenters, their clothes, the guest, Kaye adams bias and so it goes on.
jadedoldie, Your opening post: It's not the aerial, really. It's just that too much toswatching has effected the eyesight - as the vicar warned me it would.
ReplyDeleteastroplums, your #2006: The BBC has produced some of the world's best television, and still does. I believe the the BBC to be the finest broadcaster in the world. I respect it. Therefore, it amazes me why TOS is tolerated. The show is of a consistently poor standard. I cannot overlook the possibility that someone high up has a vested interest in keeping the show on the air. It most certainly is not kept there for the benefit of its audience.
ReplyDelete97 & 99
ReplyDeleteNow that has got to be Hokey, surely. Goes on and on.
JH 20.16
ReplyDeleteDanish people love the BBC programs. Especially the wildlife, comedy and drama. The only reason we continue to watch British TV, mainly the BBC, is because you just can't beat it for quality. With the exception of TOS and the soaps.
astroplums, Your # 2024: Could be. This is like trying to identify the Stig.
ReplyDeleteIf old Hokey got on a roll he just couldn't stop posting.
ReplyDeleteastroplums the posts you have highlighted are reminiscent of a twerp we have met in the past. Actually I think our "Russian" friend has really lost the plot this time, lol.
ReplyDeletejadedoldie, It's him alright.
ReplyDeletejaded
ReplyDeleteI agree. I am also convinced that 'thewonshow' is HKA. The latest one is so similar in style and language usage. What say you?
Boreauxmalc has been missing as well. Hope he finds the link.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that 137 'thewonshow' has been removed. This is the one I thought was Hokey. Are the mods watching this site?
ReplyDeleteI am in complete agreement with you both. I miss bordeauxmalc, after a rocky start he became pleasant and likeable.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope we have not unwittingly "outed" HKA, but I fear it may be so.
ReplyDeleteastroplums, your 2010: Is templar66 at #141 0n tosblog Bordeauxmalc? He tells us that he has an American wife. Google analytics shows that our site is getting visits from Washington DC.
ReplyDeletejadedoldie, I hope not. But he should have come here and told us to belt up instead of leaving us to our own devices.
ReplyDeleteTrue JH so true.
ReplyDeleteAstoplums your 2133. Google Analytics shows that we are getting visits from the BBC. But I cannot tell how many of them are referrals from the link that I put up.
ReplyDeleteI am actually beginning to feel sorry for the new TOS producer, noooooooo, that's an outright lie, I hope the situation reaches a climax in his first week, Damocles sword is swinging now by golly.
ReplyDeleteJH2137
ReplyDeleteNo that's President Obama. Only joking. I thought so at first, but Bordeaux has no reason to 'hide' and the language/ style seem to differ. Maybe we've got two Brit males with Yankee wives.
Jaded 2137
Sorry if I've done that. Just found it all so amusing tonight.
Can I feel the hot breath of Host Officious on the back of my neck?
ReplyDeleteJaded 2142 Is the new producer in...the show still seems to have the stamp of the original.
ReplyDeleteCan't be helped if we have astroplums, we were bound to speculate. It is a sad fact that British males are seduced into taking Yankee wives, but I believe they pay the price, lol.
ReplyDeleteI think we are still suffering under the old regime, it certainly seems so!
ReplyDeleteI put it to templar66 that he was bordeauxmalc. But said that he was not, and that this was his first time on Tosblog.
ReplyDeletetemplar66 does not sound to be in he same age range as Malc, but I may well be wrong, not that I would EVER admit it.
ReplyDeleteI have just noticed your photo of CB, did they have to snap her when she was needing a wee? TTFN, need some meds.
ReplyDelete'thewonshow' without doubt
ReplyDeleteastroplums, I think you are right, but who is Flunklumpard?
ReplyDeleteJH, your comment re the vicar put me in mind of a very unfortunate experience I had with our vicar. He was at my home one afternoon, as usual on the scrounge for contributions, I supplied him with the obligatory [in his case] whisky and nibbles, but was intrigued to see his gaze constantly straying to a rather lovely girondelle on the wall opposite his chair. It was not for some time that I realised my wicked stepson had removed the candle and replaced it with an ornate vibrator!!!! The afternoon progressed with neither of us prepared to acknowledge the thing, and with me on the verge of hysterics. How we laughed the next day when I collared Nick about his "prank".
ReplyDeletejadedoldie 2337
ReplyDeleteDon't know, but he is having fun with the ginger one.
For some reason best known to themselves or Host Officious, the moderators are now removing my posts from the Bernard Cribbins Show. Can it be that my attitude is what they do not like, as posts on later blogs, which are equally or much further off topic, but by persons other than myself, are being allowed to stand.
ReplyDeleteJadedoldie your1237:I think the truth is that whoever is going through these blogs is in a complete mess. They have lost track of what they are doing. I suspect that few other blogs cause the BBC so much trouble. Improving TOS would help.
ReplyDeleteMany complaints re the 'Toffs' piece. Will they take any notice of the blogs or do they just attend to emails? Still find it hard to believe that they get 10,000 emails per night, as claimed by CB.
ReplyDeleteJH
ReplyDeleteHad a look at the B.Cribbins blog and an amazing amount of blogs have been removed. Can't understand why they would do so this late in the day.
I have just been reading about the unpleasant little "rapper" who sent threatening texts to a listener of the Chris Moyles radio show. Apparently the listener, a young lady, had sent a text which was critical of the rapper. The yob was then able to "acquire" her number and proceed to terroise her. My first question, why are the BBC so careless with personal details of those who correspond with them, and secondly, why is the "rapper" not in court? Unbelievable!!!
ReplyDeleteLast nighs TOS blog has become quite unpleasant.
