The Flights of the Phoenixes - Peter - 05-28-2005
Sorry Ken, just a tickle in my throat there (cough) I meant to say 54 years old. There, Ive said it. And its true, I looked it up. But just how did it happen? I mean how? I'm sure I only turned round for a minute at 18 and here I am.....
Mind you, I like the idea of dog years. I look at the lives my dogs lead and think, I could do that. (Some of the sniffing can be a bit gross but, ah, the sleeping!)

No problemo. I think we've all done that at least once, and then we get the picture.

Wasn't that scene in the origanal?

A light strike on the keyboard? I thought it was deliberate. Four years old struck me as being pretty funny, so I responded with my own joke.

P.S. How long are donkeys years?

The origin seems to be British . . . I thought you might know.

I must confess I'm baffled by the current spate of Hollywood remakes. Is Tinsletown utterly void of new ideas these days? Any big-time producers out there, here's an =original= idea. The time is August, 1945. The ENOLA GAY circles Hiroshima. The atomic weapon is dropped. A mechanical fault!--it doesn't explode! Imperial Japanese scientists figure out right-quick what is it, and how to put it in working order. The hook: Imperial Japan is on the ropes, but now posseses an atomic weapon... How would the US deal with the situation? Well, get it back, or destroy it, with a suicide team. Either that, or... STARRING (write your own names in here) (I can see Ed Norton and Bruce Willis, for a start.) :eek:

Ah, I took it to be another joke. I was thinking something along the lines of "half as long as their heads2" No, in UK it just means a long time. ie I had my first kiss/beer/speeding fine or whatever donkeys years ago. Ho Hum.
Also the bit with the (cough) was meant to be a joke. Imagine I was speaking. OK, I'll get my coat.......
