So many fieldfares around this year - super stuff.

I want one more than you, MW!! You've spoilt it for me, Janey, I presumed the avatar was MW himself - it's a bit like being told there's no father Christmas :)

I can imagine how excited you were to see your Fieldfare, Milky, lucky you :)

Yes Janey, you and me both ! He always started me off laughing......so long as you didn't look at him !!
Ha ha, thank you Gee !...lol :-))

I had a fieldfare in myfront garden on the hawthorn tree the other day......

Keep your camera ready, Holly :)

You got one, it is mine I sent it to see you and Ray, I want it back now......please

The picture on Muddy, reminds me of Archie Andrews the dummy on the radio that we used to listen to as children in the 50's.

One of my best Christmas presents as a child was a miniature Archie Andrews ventriloquist doll! Had it for years but I was never any good at it :)

Goodness Lindak....I remember Archie Andrew too.......that brings back some memories......Lol....

Archie Andrews, yes. Who remembers Ray Alan and 'Lord Charles' ? I found him less 'creepy', if you know what I mean. If I'm giving anyone nightmares, don't worry, I'll be changing my avatar picture soon ! :-)

I do!!! The dummy had a monocle on didn't it.

Yes, that's him !

Wasn't it Peter Brough who worked Archie Andrews? I think Lord Charles was a lot later, wasn't he? Who remembers Daisy May with someone called, I think, Saveen??

Daisy May?.......dont remember that one Gee....yes it was Peter Brough, Lord Charles was hilarious.....Loved him...

Did Daisy May have a lady ventriloquist?

No, it was a chap, quite a toff! He also had a real dog as part of his act with a ventriloquist dog too. If you Google Daisy May and Saveen there is a clip there with the dog and pictures of Daisy May. He was popular in the 1950's and 60's.

Just had a look and a listen and seeing the picture I do remember them.

Ray says he remembers them...The chap had blond hair parted in the middle, bald on top and he had a tash too.....is that right Gee?

The real dog looked like a little terrier type of dog.

He definitely had a tash, Milky but was dark haired (or grey as he got older!). I wonder if Ray is thinking of Arthur Worsley, who was another one in the 1950s !!

Reminds me of "Chucky" aaaaarrrrrggggghhhh

He could be Gee.......Ha...His memory is not quite what it was, although he will firmly deny that.....Lol....I dont remember a Chucky either Davey.....but I was a mere babe then.....he he he
