No... fair point. Is there a script anywhere?

But it wasn't what I was quoting!

There's a similar situation to what your original quote describes, but with a cow, not a dog!

I shall have to hunt it out... it sounds interesting...


Here's the full scene where my quote comes from:


--INT: LIVING ROOM SET OF "OH CRIKEY" on ITV

[A man and a woman are fooling around on their sofa. The doorbell rings.]
WOMAN: Oh, no! That must be the vicar! Go answer the door, darling!

MAN: Why can't you?

WOMAN: I have my apron on!

[MAN and WOMAN fling their heads back in exaggerated television laughter.]
WOMAN: I know--I'll go to the kitchen and take it off while you answer the door!

MAN: Right!

[WOMAN exits the set. The MAN goes to open the door. When he opens it, a dog walks in.]
MAN: Uh--no!

[As he moves to retrieve the dog, his pants fall down.]
MAN: Oh dear, my trousers have fallen down and the dog's in the sitting room! Lucky the vicar didn't see.

[He tries to chase the dog and pull his pants up at the same time.]
MAN: No, no, come here, no, hold still...!

[The MAN squats down on the floor, pants still down, and tries to restrain the dog. The VICAR walks in and sees this scene at the same time the WOMAN re-enters.]
VICAR: Oh, Crikey!

WOMAN: Oh, Crikey!

MAN: I can explain! Oh, Crikey!

Did moss bore you in the head? I'm surprised you let him!

Moss, did she spit or swallow. Or ear?

Unregistered user Its architecture still is the best, IMHO. If Acorn were to have continued development, do you think they could have brought us pre-emptive multitasking + multithreading?

Unregistered user From a users point of view - there seems to be no great difference between ROS 2 and ROS 4+. I guess it is the internals that change more drastically than the external features. Take Windows - Windows XP still looks and behaves very similarly to Windows 95 - though its stability has increased enormously since then.

If only Linux could have a ROS desktop (yes, I know about ROX) instead of X, I would be very happy indeed.

Unregistered user Well, it's all been said, really, hasn't it?

So instead, I shall say this:


It's our occupation we're a dancing nation
We keep the pressure on every night
Explanations are complications
We don't need to know the where or why

Taking chances bold advances
Don't care if you think we're out of line
Conversation is interrogation
Get our of here we just don't have the time

Take or leave us only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable
Like us hate us but you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable

Hesistation is just frustration
Give us the music and we're alright
On each occasion for you information
We can look after ourselves alright

Take or leave us only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable
Like us hate us but you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable

Fascination is our sensation
We like to put ourselves on the line
Recreation is our destination
So don't wait up for us tonight

Take or leave us only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable
Like us hate us but you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable

If I promise to keep sane stuff in the sane forums, will you guys keep the insane stuff in the insane forum (i.e. the PlayPen)?

Probably; if Acorn were still around and RISC OS had some money behind it, then anything could happen. As it is, I worry indiff

I really couldn't tell how he felt, to be honest. All a bit over the head.
I'd sum it up as "one of the best operating systems ever created; but now sadly neglected" unhappy

Lolita muffdiver? Jeeez. I don't think explicit usernames should be allowed. Still, as long as muffy doesn't post to any of the real forums it should be ok... wink
I think she's got better things to do than post about RISC OS! grin

Yeah, right tongue
