Tell Major Shorthouse to call me an elephant!

Carry On Up The Khyber icons (Batch #1)

Teasers:



So, time for that well-known epic tale of the British Raj being caught with their underpants on. It could spell the end of the Empire (but that's only what Major Shorthouse thinks, and who asked him?), but there'll certainly be much tiffin, Belchers, Burpas, cunning disguises, stiff upper lips, Rank stupidity, British incompetence, and no political correctness whatsoever.

For DW fans, there's Roy Castle (film Ian) joining the regulars, Peter Butterworth in his Finest Hour, Angela Douglas as Princess Jelhi, Joan Sims, Julian Holloway (in his only Carry On role that's more than a cameo: "Oh F...udge!") and unexpected Wanda Ventham.

On the other hand...

As it turned out, the two little girls have started watching DW, so arrived and demanded to see the last episode. Naturally, I volunteered for this testing duty...

( Brief reaction - spoilers. Sort of )

And then we had to play with make-up (my flatmate and I own very little, so this is amusing) and hair (I have about four hairbands in at the moment).

So, how long till Christmas?

It's the Closed Season for Fakirs

Sorry, I'm going to be spamming...

Carry On The Up Khyber icons (Batch #2: The Dinner)
(I didn't make the previous ones today, I hasten to add!) I thought, as the dinner at the end of this film is probably the most famous (and funniest) set-pieces in the entire run, that I would take whatever caps I had from it and do 'straight' icons (or bases) in sequence. This is the result. (I didn't take the caps with this in mind, unfortunately, so it wasn't quite what I thought, but surprisingly pretty in places anyway...)

Total Icon Count: 39

I Surrendered 'quotes'

I did say, spamming, didn't I?

Probably too random to be of any interest, but doing the 30 Days Meme over on isurrendered ended up with me rifling through my scribbled sheets of paper for the two shows for likely 'quotes' and scenes, plus taking some from the snippets I did before. (And somewhere in the process, I've LOST some of them. This is why, of course, you should never have things lying around on loose bits of paper.)

( Random rambings yet again )
