#HWM #060 is in the 23rd parallel universe over, if you all wish to join. Consult the doctor, he can transport you there.

DJ GeorgyGirl:

I've started a new work schedule so that I have the last week of the month off, aside from broadcasting :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:10pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

Putting the finishing on #060 tomorrow ;-)

In these monologues, Joyce Grenfell portrays the wife of a vice-chancellor of an Oxbridge university :-)
Avatar 3:14pm
ARB:

charming indeed, this is creating the best mood!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:14pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@ARB - excellent! I'm glad you're loving the vibe :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:15pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

Joyce Grenfell, as well as being an excellent monologist, was also in a number of classic Ealing comedies, and originated the "jolly hockey sticks" line.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:17pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

Probably her most famous and beloved monologue is of a nursery school teacher chatting to her small charges, including continually admonishing a small boy: "George ... don't do that" :-)
Avatar 3:20pm
worldsworstrecords:

She was wonderful

Oh my god! What was this the theme tune to?
Avatar 3:38pm
worldsworstrecords:

Was it Open House?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:40pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

I do believe you're right! It certainly sounds very familiar.
Avatar 3:40pm
worldsworstrecords:

NO! It was the How To Do It sketch by Monty Python!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:40pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

Ooo! Rose candies! I do love those - and violet creams too :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:42pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

There's a shop in Brighton that sells violet Turkish delight which is one of my favourite things :-)

Hi DJGG. Joyce Grenfell"s voice takes me back many decades. DJ Georgy Don't Do That!

DJ GeorgyGirl:

Hello Dave! :-) Same for me - I have a very cosy feeling listening to this :-)
  3:46pm
Dave In St Albans UK:

Did we ever find out what George was doing? ;-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:47pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

I think most people think he's picking his nose - but Joyce would never divulge. She said it was far more fun to hear the theories ;-)
Avatar 3:48pm
Mr Fab:

I liked that fake bagpipe song.
  3:48pm
Dave In St Albans UK:

I think we came up with some pretty outrageous theories at the time, in primary school!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:49pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

I shall post my favourite monologue on the group in a bit :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:49pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

I mean, he could be indulging in some pocket billiards as little boys do ... :-)
Avatar 3:51pm
worldsworstrecords:

...big boys too, in my experience ;-)
  3:51pm
Dave In St Albans UK:

Pocket billiards. Now there is a phrase that I haven't heard in a long time. We generally reckoned that he was playing with his "willy" too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:52pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

Well ... yes. ;-) To both. lol
Avatar 3:52pm
worldsworstrecords:

It's been another wonderful HWM, Georgy. I don't know how you do it every week
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:53pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

Thank you, Darryl! That's made me smile :-)
