And what's he got to do with bloody Battlestar Gallactica?

I might cry.

22:05 / 25.02.04
I do not understand the Battlestar Gallactica reference.

You didn’t ever watch Battlestar Gallactica, did you ‘Belle? In it Dirk Benedict played hunky space-fox Starbuck. Responsible for giving more straight boys funny gay feelings in their tummy than any other star-pilot in the universe. With the possible exception of Han Solo. Mums across the land think we watch for the spaceships! and the monsters! but really it’s all about the dashing hunks.

Before you say what you’re probably not thinking, I’ll incoherently babble that Tom Baker as Doctor Who doesn’t count because that was more of a long-term relationship-thing.

Hmm. That answers your question as well, Stoatie. My ‘feelings’ on this matter are now embarrassingly clear. Obviously, my attempt to disable the tastechecker have worked. I’ll apologise in advance for the next thing I say.

I didn't no. Obviously I haven't lived. But he looks a bit smooth for me in his picture. And did he really invent Eggs Benedict?
 
 
Bed Head
22:18 / 25.02.04
Yes. Yes he did. And that bit about the cigar is absolutely essential part of it.



Alternatively. If it really matters to you, the very first result on googling ‘eggs benedict’ gave me this:

The classic history. According to A Cozy Book of Breakfasts and Brunches (Prima Publishing, 1996), "many years ago" a Wall Street financier named LeGrand Benedict, a regular patron of Manhattan's ritzy Delmonico's restaurant, complained that there was nothing new on the menu. The chef's response was this dish. A variant myth credits, instead of the chef, the Delmonico maitre d' and Mrs. Benedict. The name of the chef, and indeed any real facts about the genesis of eggs Benedict, are lost to history. The new Joy of Cooking (Scribner, 1997) dates the dish in the 1920s, and says the original base may have been toast.

The revisionist history. According to e-mail to this site from Cutts Benedict, eggs Benedict was born when his father's cousin, Lemuel Benedict, a Wall Street broker, invented and ordered the dish in 1894 at the Waldorf Hotel, where chef Oscar Tschirky added it to the menu.

Any good?

HMMMMM it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when i did into a random thread and y'all are talking bout Templton Peck my second favourite A-Team member

Who’s your number one A-Teamer? If that’s not too personal a question.

Dunno 'bout Puck, but I'd have to go with Hannibal. (Well, not "go with" in that way, but, y'know...)
 
 
The Puck
22:29 / 25.02.04
gotta be Murdock, BA although a great peice of TV is just a meaningless collection of catchphrases and doesnt stand up to close scrutiny as a character the rest are almost belivable as screwed up NAM vets
 
 
Olulabelle
22:32 / 25.02.04
I'm not sure you're supposed to actually study it that carefully Puck...
 
 
Bed Head
22:35 / 25.02.04
Beautiful. I thought I’d be the only one to love Hannibal. Normally this game descends very quickly into lots of atrocious Mr T impressions and misty-eyed reminiscing about How Great Murdock Was, Really, and I’m left alone with my admiration for the doddering majesty that is George Peppard.


I think if you kissed him he’d taste of wine, you see.

22:40 / 25.02.04
Come on then olulabelle, who's your fave?
 
 
The Puck
22:40 / 25.02.04
of course your sposed to study it there carfully, there was the one episode where they get captured by this extremist religous cult, and Amy starts freaking out about how shes gonna die, but then all the a-team start telling her how theyed come to accept death in nam and how they were ready for it and stuff it was fucking awesome, then they kicked everyones ass and Haniabal got his ostrich skin boots back that had been taken off him.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
22:40 / 25.02.04
Bed Head- I'll fight you for him!

(Actually, on second thoughts, I'm a married man...)
 
 
Bed Head
22:50 / 25.02.04
Stoatie, he’s a big man. A standard-issue hunk frame, further bloated after years of being soaked in wine every night. There’s more than enough to go round.
 
 
Olulabelle
22:55 / 25.02.04
I'd have to take them all but for different reasons. I like a bit of variation in my men.

Actually, that's bollocks. How could it be anyone but Howling Mad Murdoch?
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
22:57 / 25.02.04
So that's 2 for Murdock, 2 for Hannibal.

Interesting...

23:00 / 25.02.04
Who's going to pick Mr T? He has big muscles and everyone knows that means problems of the small variety in the trouser department.

Evening all.
Feeling a bit sad- What will we do here, without our mistress of the underground mall?
 
 
Bed Head
23:01 / 25.02.04
I think I just seen gingerbop around, maybe she’d like to do her lateshift duty and cast a deciding vote. Actually, no, I hope she doesn’t, because she’s only go ‘A-Team? Who are they? When I was a kid we had pokemon!’ and make us all feel like the decrepit old fucks we really are.
 
 
Bed Head
23:02 / 25.02.04
Oh, there she is. Doh.

good evening bop! Now it's a lateshift.
 
 
Olulabelle
23:06 / 25.02.04
Bed Head, I think I just seen

This grammar is unsettling me.
 
 
Bed Head
23:13 / 25.02.04
My grammar is always bloody terrible. You’re picking on that sentence?

Correct me if you will, but I warn you it’s a bigger job than I think you’ve realised. Look at my posts. Look at my grammar. I am crap at English.
 
 
gingerbop
23:14 / 25.02.04
Oh dear, thats the grammer of a Crom.

Seeing as Bear was remeniscing, can we do another MFR night? It is.. I dunno, its quite good for local radio. But lets say, it is what puts me to sleep every night.
You know you want to; listenlistenlisten
 
 
gingerbop
23:16 / 25.02.04
Bedhead can't do grammar, and I cannot link.
www.mfr.co.uk : Just incase I fucked it up again.
 
 
gingerbop
23:17 / 25.02.04
Oh and sorry, what am I supposedly voting on?
When I was a sprog, Magic Roundabout was my thing. Not much has changed then? A-team.. um... I mean I know of them, but only of them, Im afraid.
