There's an amazing punchline at the end of that Kulkarni rant where he... vows never to read the NME again.

Good spot.

I like that the "N" is in scare quotes; like they're somehow sceptical of the "and" connecting "rock" to "roll." "Yeah, the man wants you to think it's rock 'and' roll, maybe it's rock *or* roll, did you ever think of that?"

Bound, gagged and loving it. The people who pay to be kidnapped. Is that what is happening in that Vines picture?

Ummmm... To be fair, that's how "rock'n'roll" is generally stylised, isn't it?

― doglato dozzy (dog latin), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 16:45 (twelve years ago)

the n in rock'n'roll is supposed to have two apostrophes, whereas as voyou says the n on that cover is in quote marks

― Eyeball Kicks, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 16:48 (twelve years ago)

omg I just noticed the quote from Henry V

― soref, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 16:48 (twelve years ago)

the wikipedia article on Hi-de-Hi! claims that Ted Bovis was born in November 1936 literally one sentence before saying he joined Maplins upon demobilisation in 1945.

― soref, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 20:35 (twelve years ago)

the show was set in summer 1959, making Ted Bovis 22 years old

― soref, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 20:38 (twelve years ago)

What's going on with Brian Setzer's nose in that photo?

― Vast Halo, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 20:41 (twelve years ago)

It was Ted Bovis that made Hi-de-Hi watchable. A likeable crook.
