Pity I've not got any funds right now - I'm looking for a decent 110 chassis for the infamous minibus project.

I think I may know someone with a 110 chassis needs a rear X member tho' I was waiting for a price ( I have a cunning plan so cunning that it amazes foxes) maybe a bit of a run out for you tho' Austin

is it a plan that would outfox a fox who'd just been made professor of cunning...

bugger, forgotten it.

aha: the power of the interweb...

Baldrick: I have a plan, sir. Edmund: Really, Baldrick? A cunning and subtle one? Baldrick: Yes, sir. Edmund: As cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University? Baldrick: Yes, sir. Voice: On the signal, company will advance! Edmund: Well, I'm afraid it'll have to wait. Whatever it was, I'm sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman round here?

that final scene was one of the best bits of telly I've seen. Seen it again since the original, but it sticks in the mind. I was wondering all through the series how they were going to end it, bearing in mind that it (was then) just a tad recent for piss-taking. The last bit of the final episode was pretty much perfect - all along you thought that they'd blag their way out of it and right at the end they suddenly didn't.

more telling in some ways than "all quiet on the western front", which despite me knowing exactly how it ends, the ending takes me by surprise every time. especially the old version I've got...

Yes the peace and tranquility of a field of poppies after the noise and smoke of going over the top it made me take a deep breath the first time. Do you want an email if he comes back with price? I'm going back to plan A which involves no comically shaped turnips at all and has a lot to do with the 4 series wheels propped aginst the garage Derek

Blackadder: Yes I have, and it's so cunning you can brush your teeth with it Blackadder: I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel!

Baldrick: Is it as cunning as a fox what used to be professor of cunning at Oxford University, but has moved on, and is now working for the UN at the high commission of international cunning planning

is it a bare chassis, or does it have axles/transmission etc?

can't afford it right now, though, so no hurry.

Agreed. An inspired bit of editing. Fade out the actors, noise of gunfire, poppies appear (if I've remembered it right). Real lump in the throat stuff. It was going to be hard to end with integrity a series that made comedy out of a recent war, but they managed it.

Bare as far as I know not a rolling chassis I'm working my arse off at the moment so I can't say when I'll see my mate , the only danger is sombody offering me a 110 with a keggley chassis in the meantime Derek All dwarfs are by nature dutiful, serious, literate, obedient and thoughtful people whose only minor failing is a tendency, after one drink, to rush at enemies screaming "Arrrrrrgh!" and axing their legs off at the knee.

yep, you remembered it right. They don't make 'em like that today...

's slightly like the end of Schindler's list. which, incidentally, comes into my personal top 10 films ever, somewhere near the top, I expect. fantastic bit of work, especially filming it in B&W and using spot colour, reminiscent of Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin.

one film that's NOT in the top 10 is Titanic. A Night to Remember is a much better film IMHO. The best bit of Titanic was the underwater shots of the ship today...

Having said "top 10", it occurs to what passes for my mind that I'd have some difficulty actually making a top 10 films list... and depressingly, there's be several war movies in it.
