Best decisions ever made

Just the opposite of the other thread

October, 1987. Going over to Holland and decided to go on the boat train rather than the bus. If I'd chosen the bus, I would have been on the Herald of Free Enterprise.

I was about five when my dad said "stay here and play dolly's with your girly sisters or come to the Goldstone for a game that will last you a life time"

I chose well.

I very much doubt it as the Herald of Free Enterprise sunk in March 1987

My apologies Ernest, you are correct it was March. I used to go over 2 or 3 times a year back then (married to a cloggy), and couldn't remember exactly when it was.

I remember it very well as it was on my birthday and due to the extended lunchtime news there was no Wrestling on that week and it ruined my birthday not seeing Kent Walton and the boys

BBC to offer David Jason the part of Del-boy. Eventually. Amazingly, he was third choice.

Cor, I like that one!

What about the Sumarian who accidentally left some barley in a tub of water overnight, only to discover he'd invented beer and hence is directly responsible for the cretins who piss in my garden every Friday night.

Am I right in thinking that Clive Dunn was 1st choice??

No it was actually Jim Broadbent who played DI Slater (Raquel's husband).

Don't get me started on that! If IBM hadn't been so stupid as to allow Microsoft to sell MS-DOS to other manufacturers, we'd probably all be on Linux now.
