JR gets everywhere!

Post by Katharine »

I have been a tourist guide to friends from NZ today. Having ridden the Railway we went to Portmeirion and walked through the woods down to the sands - it was low tide.

What was the first thing I saw on the sand? The letters JR scratched out in a large circle. I looked for him everywhere around - where were you JR?

Whatever you fly or drive, you will feel the JR difference.

I found this on Google. Does anyone want to feel the difference? Could be good as a t-shirt slogan.

Feeling It

Post by Angela Woodford »

I've been feeling it for a while now. Every day and in every way.

And now when I see an unsuspecting guinea pig -

Quite topical really because on Monday JR Ewing got shot in Dallas that is currently being shown on UKGold.
(Not that I watch it, of course!) :oops:

Blimey shoz, you do pop up on the oddest threads.

My kids asked me who shot JR and I had to confess I don't know. Didn't watch it then, don't warch it now.

Wasn't it Bobby Ewing ?

I never watched it either !

Sue Ellen did it. Just happened to have a "gern" in her purse.

Sorry to pop up unannounced but I like to see what's happening from time to time.

It was actually Kristin, Sue Ellen's sister that did the dastardly deed.

Sue Ellen?

Post by Angela Woodford »

No, you're right, it was Kristin. I just checked it out. But Britain simmered in the agony of not knowing for a whole summer. You could buy a "I shot JR" teeshirt in Oxford Street. I loved it. All in the worst possible taste.

Okay, so she didn't, but who cares? This gave me a big laugh!

I have never met Mr Rutley, so why was it that when I read Jeremy Clarkson's column in the Sunday Times today (re stocking tops and suspender belts), it was JRs name that came to mind?

Amongst JR's favourite things

Post by Angela Woodford »

It was a while ago now, Maggie, that JR expressed an interest - indeed, an overwhelming interest - in stockings and suspenders! These rapturous postings must have stayed in your excellent memory.

I don't remember in which topic, however. Could have been somewhere in our Hertford Memories? Although those stockings are best remembered with derisive mirth.

(Only this afternoon I was considering the glamour of the stockings to be found in the lingerie shops of Bangkok. Inspired by Philip, really.)
