Yes I know, I asked...You're doing a Solomon on me!<br /><br />Yes I know, I asked for it. But I can't bear the thought of that poor dog being smashed to pieces. <br /><br />On the other hand.. I do wonder if you would actually send a smashed doggie to me. Can I trust you with my address, or will you be sending me saucy postcards?<br /><br />I think I'll take the chance.Lithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458550758536692927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971077270766122919.post-69149816801313849682009-05-18T21:12:00.000+01:002009-05-18T21:12:00.000+01:00is it wrong that i find the first one disproportio...is it wrong that i find the first one disproportionately titillatory?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971077270766122919.post-8006328868594663042009-05-18T21:11:00.000+01:002009-05-18T21:11:00.000+01:00But is it Wykes or Bamforths?

He was a movie producer initially and Holmfirth was very much the hollywood of the UK (I'm talking in the very early days of silent cinema here).<br /><br />I actually grew up in Bamforth's old mansion (well a third of it, as it had been made into a rather strange terrace in the 50's. We had the middle section, and had two sets of stairs, one the grand elaborate main staircase covered in<br />ornamentation and coving, and the other an incredibly steep and narrow set of servants’ stairs. My bedroom still had the wires from the butler bell calling system in place, although unfortunately they no longer worked.<br /><br />Not relevant, but I like to shoehorn my knowledge of local history in if I get the chance.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16967074836914863921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971077270766122919.post-41969839279244185232009-05-18T14:51:00.000+01:002009-05-18T14:51:00.000+01:00Ooh, you motherfucker.

Sorry. <br /><br />OK, you are a winner, and as I don't want to get myself a reputation for welching on competition prizes, you shall have your wheelchair. I'm coming down to London on Thursday, so I can bring it on the train with me. Are you in London? If so, I can meet you somewhere on Thursday night and chair you up. Let me know. <br /><br />Oh, and well done.
