VILLAMARV Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 On 29/05/2023 at 13:32, Xela said: In the first ever episode of One Foot in the Grave, when Victor goes into the MOT garage place to see where his car is, he announces himself as "Victor Meldrew, the crimson avenger". Its only recently that I realised he's talking about his car - a red Hillman Avenger! I initially thought he was referring about being red faced and angry (he was) about the delay. 4291 is the number for one of the places I ring round here. (Yeah there's area codes etc but in it's purest form and back in the day when it was just 4 numbers that's what it was.) It's how I remember the number and everytime I ring it I not only think of OFITG but that I know you'd get a real kick out of ringing that number 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I've only just found out the Crimson Avenger is a superhero in DC Comics. That makes Victor's entrance even funnier now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Don't know what is going on with my lawn. It seems that every 4 days it needs mowing. I don't have an immaculate lawn that needs to look like a cricket pitch, but after 4 days it starts to look a little like @bicksters head. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyeddie Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 In the 1830's, the wealthy youths liked their own secret language and changed the spelling of words and turned them into acronyms. All Correct became Oll Korrect and shortened to OK. This took off and became mainstream due to the new telegram service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
