That still entertains you.

A friend from way back in my misspent youth has shared this on facebook. Without hesitation, my first choice was The Boat That Rocked which brings back happy memories of revising for exams on Ventnor beach listening to Radio London on my little transistor radio.

I scrolled down through the comments and saw that she'd named the same film!!

Happy Days.

How about you?

Oh Blue Hawaii callgirl . I had a friend who was obsessed with Elvis. I went with her to see Blue Hawaii. In the scene where he got married, my friend stood up and shouted at the actress playing his wife, 'take your bleedin' hands off him'. I was so embarrassed grin
