Weather.

While you people are busy flogging the flag issue, I'm busy enjoying brilliant sunshine and 22 degrees. In fact I'm enjoying it so much, I might traipse o'er the field and imbibe a wobbly-pop or five.

[wolf63]

Does your wife tie a rope around you and then reel you home for your dinner?

[stuey]

Of course not: she sends Bensomemum, the butler, in the Bentley to collect me.

[DTCwordfan]

Is Bensomemum Japanese?

I have heard that the Benso family came across to Toronto in the 1st World War and were famous for setting up knicker (US = panties) washing laundries....

[stuey]

Bensomemum was the name of the butler in the movie "Murder By Death". A really funny movie with an all-star cast.

[wolf63]

Enjoy your boozing. I thought you were snowed in all year round in Canada.

Enjoy !!!

[DTCwordfan]

Doesn't explain the family heritage as to being in Ontario.....

[stuey]

It's not "boozing", wolf63. I have been called to the bar in order to imbibe a few libations with my illustrious cohorts. Here is the cast in that movie I mentioned:
Eileen Brennan
Truman Capote
James Coco
Peter Falk
Alec Guinness
Elsa Lanchester
David Niven
Peter Sellers
Maggie Smith
Nancy Walker
Estelle Winwood

stuey, one of the funniest films ever made.

[stuey]

Great, wasn't it!

[jno]

Jamesir Bensonmum, Alec Guinness wasn't it?

[Jackdaw33]

Maggie Smith is the greatest. I don't know if the TV series Downton Abbey has been shown in Canada, but if it is you must not miss Dame Maggie as the redoubtable dowager countess.

[stuey]

Never seen it advertised here, JD. Alec Guiness was the blind butler, yes. Anyway, I'm off...Cheers.

[Peter Pedant]

and I think BensonMum was played by Sir Alec Guiness before he got rich ( Lucas couldnt afford to pay him for thingey and so assigned him 1% of the profits from star wars )

I didnt emjoy it so much

[cupid04]

Do you call it wobbly pops because it makes you wobbly on your feet?

[Mamyalynne]

Stuey's like a Weeble - remember those?

[cupid04]

Yes, I remember weebles. My daughter played with them. She's in her 30's now!

[Mamyalynne]

Great fun.
