I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.

Well this has certainly brightened my day  lol: which isn't bad after being together for SUCH a long time .....

Imagine this............

BM is playing background music of Don McClean and also shuffling around the kitchen pretending to play the background bongo's  scared2:

Then he says:

What was that film we watched the other day?????
The one where the guy had squatters in his flat - you know he was a workaholic (the guy not the squatter) and was estranged from his wife and daughter - then the squatter taught the guy to play the bongo's to relax..........

Why are you laughing at me LL  ::) ::) ::)

 noooo:

The Production Code
When a series of off-screen scandals inspired an anti-Hollywood backlash in the early 1920s, the major studios joined forces and hired Republican politician Will Hays to head the new Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), an organization formed to restore the industry's reputation by censoring film content and . This alumni of President Harding's scandal-ridden administration surprised everyone by taking his job seriously. Hays forced a number of superficial changes in the film industry, then settled into the background. When the advent of sound film -- and a series of off-screen Hollywood murders and sex-scandals -- brought a new public outcry, Hays instituted the 1930 Production Code.

Along with forbidding nudity and profanity, this code included a long list of rules that now seem laughable. A few examples --

Screen kisses had to be close-mouthed and were limited to six seconds.
Whenever two characters embraced, at least one of them had to keep at least one foot on the floor.
No plot would present evil "alluringly."
Even if married, a man and woman could not be shown sharing the same bed.
Seduction could not be the subject of comedy.
No religious minister could be a comic or villainous character.
Such words as "broad," "pregnant," "Lord" and "hold your hat" were prohibited.
In fact, any line, costume, character or situation Hays deemed "unnecessary" could be forbidden.

Apart from playing 'air bongos' have you been out standing on any hot driveways today have your legs melted do we need to call you 'Stumpy'.  So many questions. noooo:

In Connecticut, lonely widowed Professor Walter Vale has a boring life. He teaches only one class at the local college and is trying to learn how to play the piano, despite not having the necessary musical talent. Walter is assigned to attend a conference about Global Policy and Development at New York University, where he is to give a lecture about a paper on which he is co-author. When he arrives at his apartment in New York, he finds Tarek Khalil, a Syrian musician, and Zainab, a Senegalese street vendor, living there. He sympathizes with the situation of the illegal immigrants and invites the couple to stay with him. Tarek invites him to go to his gig at Jules Live Jazz. Walter is fascinated with his African drum and Tarek offers to teach Walter to play the drum. However, after an incident in the subway, Tarek is arrested by the police and sent to a detention center for illegal immigrants. Walter has just hired a lawyer to defend Tarek when, out of the blue, Tarek's mother Mouna ...

Yes I admit I did say that specific retort  redface: apologies to our pub goers

However BM is still churning the grey matter and still can't prove I have seen it, indeed even if he has  rubschin:
