Title: Simon Cowell..
Post by: Scrumpy on February 02, 2022, 06:57:53 PM
.. has come a cropper again on his motorised bike..
First time he broke his back.. Yesterday his arm..


Why do people continue to do things that are dangerous for them.?
It's like that guy who went tunnelling underground and got stuck for 50 odd hours..
Rescuers.. costing a few bob.. had to get him out..
And what did he say. 'I shall go back down.'..
He should be made to pay for rescue work..

And Cowell should learn how to ride a bike. Perhaps it was so expensive he thought it couldn't fall over. You see it when rich, overweight tourists have to hire mopeds. They manage to stop at traffic lights but forget to put their feet on the floor..'Blumph!' Sad but very funny seen from behind.. :embarrassed:

I don't mind folk risking themselves - their choice -but I do get annoyed when their choice drags in others and puts them at risk

Maybe it's time he swapped it for a Benidorm Buggy  ?

You're doubtless too refined to have ever seen Benidorm. It was a bit Carry On...

This was Madge...

Presumably a TV programme?

Oh - and I enjoy the 'Carry On' films -so I don't think that I can claim to be refined!

If you can stomach Carry On you'd have managed Benidorm. Been off air a while I think though. Madge went before it finished.

I've never watched Benidorm.. I the cast photo shown there is a guy fourth from the right..
I have seen him before.. He is a great character and never fails to make me smile..
Can't think what I would have seen in him though..

I've decided to grab all I can of Benidorm. Escapist trash that it is I'll enjoy it and there will be loads I haven't seen.

The stuff at Zoonies Video Emporium is lo-res and some is missing too. I see that there are lots of episodes on YouTube and https://www.dailymotion.com/ which look like they may be better quality and https://jdownloader.org/ will download the video from links for both of those. Bit more effort than usually needed but cheapskates can't be choosers.

I'm about to quit a Netflix documentary called 'The Tinder Swindler' after a couple on minutes. It's about women who look for love in a computer and come off second best. Naive at best, short-plank thick at worst..in my opinion of course. Okay. lonely, I'll admit but so are goatherds..
