Don't make me come over there! LOL!

 

Or me to Glacier National Park...which I haven't been to.

I've been to most but strangely still not ventured to Big Bend in my own State!
(Well, you know what I mean )

 

sounds familiar. is it "Faulty towers"

 

I think you'd love it Lenny. It's beyond beautiful.

Once I'm home and able to up some pictures, I'll point you in the direction to check them out. Very hard to describe with words.

No....It was a US series first aired in the 50's.

As I said the show is still seen regularly here in the UK (And other parts of the world), but never was quite so popular in the states, which was strange because it related to a particular US institution.

The main character often yelled the quoted line at other people in the cast. He wanted them to do things but was reluctant to do them himself.

He was in musicals, was a great friend of Sinatra, Milton Berle, and other legends of TV and the silver screen.
He had 4 lovely daughters who I have been fortunate to meet at a Star ceremony on the walk of fame.
It was posthumous as he died in 1986.

More clues later until someone gets the beer.....if anyone's interested !

 

How about Sgt. Bilko on the Phil Silvers Show.

 

" That's my boy !! "

Now all you have to do is get over to the UK to claim your free beer !

Or after September 1st just pop down to South Texas....and you can visit the King Ranch on the way !!!

Seriously .... well done .... and we'll sort something out about a beer or three.

 

Way to go Gearhead!!

Hmm... I see a faint resemblence...



Say, has anyone seen or heard from that girl on the far right lately?

You *%^$*&%$%$ &&^% $£$%%^&^%% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even I had forgotten about that particular photo.
In fact if I have one I don't know where I filed it !!!!!

PS My wife still carries her King Ranch handbag everywhere !
You should recognize the leather !!

Skagel...where are you...still in Houston ?!

 

Actually I don't mind being likened to Phil.
He was a very clever man and one of the all time great comedians.
I have some early tapes of him with Milton Berle and they really did set the groundwork for a lot of modern comedy.

And of course as Mess Sgt. Ernie Bilko at Fort Baxter, Kansas, he was just the best.

I collect Phil Silvers memorabilia and thanks to his eldest daughter I have a gold watch given to him by Sinatra when they were appearing together at Las Vegas.
I also have his original screen contracts and many personal items courtesy of the family when we were invited to Hollywood for the Star Ceremony.
While there we got to meet with a lot of very famous film stars (Jon Voight, Al Pacino etc.,) but possibly best for me, the only living cast member of the Phil Silvers show, who played Ernie's sidekick, Henshaw. (Played by Allan Melvin)
I expect you're all too young to remember this stuff but there might be an odd one or two out there who understand what I'm drivelling on about !!


Allan Melvin as he was 2 years ago at the Star Ceremony., for those of you that may have seen the show.



And there I think we better leave it as we are just a tad off topic.
In fact the only tenuous link to the forum recently is my wif'e KR handbag !!
But you can blame our dear moderator for that one !!!

 

Heck, I get blamed for everything.

 

And your point is....!!!

Tee Hee !!!

Anyway as far as the pic......well remembered, as I'd forgotten all about it !!

 

You heard from her lately Lenny? I tried emailing to the address that I have for KROC a few months ago and it bounced...

 

No....perhaps I'll try E mailing Dave and see if he knows anything, but he's also been very quiet lately.
