75 NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteLooking closely at the picture I notice OldMan Steptoe sitting in the middle , complete with thick black overcoat and homberg hat
Yes the original gent in the homburg is now sitting between Winnie and Batman
DeleteIt looks like Bruce Wayne and Winston!
ReplyDeleteYes, I say Churchill, Batman and Charlie Chaplin or Stan Laurel.I think 79no is looking at the original picture as yes this figure does, indeed, resemble the legendary character expertly played by Wilfrid Brambell and as his son would have said “You dirty old man”
DeleteCorrect WC, BM, CC
Delete75 NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteLooks like Winston is umpiring from the stands but using two fingers for "OUT" instead of the traditional one.
Must have been a great comfort to Winston during W.W. 2 knowing he was friendly with Batman and could call on his services from time to time when a dangerous situation arose.
Charlie Chaplin obviously entertained the crowd during the lunch and tea intervals.
On the far side of the ground , blowing the picture up 10X , I think I have detected Kenneth Horne and Arthur Askey sitting next to each other .
Anyone else spotted a famous face amongst the big crowd?
A long forgotten failure for Winston in WW2, he only managed to get an appointment for a GPO engineer to come and install the batphone into his War Rooms on 7th May 1945 between the hours 8 AM and 1 PM ; he had to cancel it at the last minute as he was busy! He'd been waiting 6 years. In that time the country had lost 47 bat-spotlights in London alone, shot out by Junkers (not Jokers). The Postmaster General did apologise to the country, but not until 1983.

ReplyDeleteIf Sir Winston came to TB today to watch a game there would be a problem .
NO SMOKING IN THE STANDS - and no bringing in your own alcohol .
( vintage claret for Winnie!)

Thought I'd spotted Charles de Gaulle using a mobile phone and with a mysterious briefcase. More likely I need an eye test.
ReplyDelete75 NOT OUT
ReplyDeletePity the poor spectator sitting behind
7ft 6" Charles de Gaulle . Not much of a view
As a kid I used to think de Gaulle’s first name was “ bleddy” because that’s what my mates dad kept calling him. Foxy
DeleteTimothy Lumsden
ReplyDeleteIs that a Zepellin Airship or the Hindenburg ? And Mary Poppins ? Or have I inhaled too much Ronson lighter fuel ?
If Winston is lighting up a Romeo y Julieta or a La Aroma de Cuba, you had better stay well away. Graf von Zepplin was suppling Sky with the aerial aspects that day.
DeleteI reckon Winnie would've enjoyed 'the Cuervo Gold / the fine Colombian', available at the Parr Bar on T20 and T100 evenings only, at the combined bargain price of £175
ReplyDeleteTimothy Lumsden
ReplyDeleteSounds a rather exquisite offering that. Not sure of the Mary Poppins reference but I’m on the small screen of an I-phone6s, the silhouette of the umbrella merges perfectly in to create the illusion(?), so is Mr.Nottsviewer up to his naughty japes?
Bit random(and certainly not the correct posting, but do you reckon people will cough up all that money to see the Who at the Pattonair, 3AAA, Incorra, or whatever Derby call their stadium these days?
You'll have to zoom in to see the statue erected in the TBI (north side) car park and to see Colin Graves flying in to save cricket from all this nonsense.

ReplyDeleteCONCORD CIRCLING THE GROUND . Must have been a pretty early test flight!?.
Yes, 79 not out. Concorde now spotted and also the statue in the TBI car park as referred to above by Mr.Nottsviewer
ReplyDeleteTimothy Lumsden.
ReplyDeleteCaptain Slog….To boldly go….is this the latest to be added to the grey skyline? And are there any Klingon’s out there ?
75NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteAll we need now is a Spitfire plus a Lancaster bomber to complete the picture!? All that stuff going on overhead must have been very distracting for the players.
Is that the Space Shuttle and a pterodactyl in addition to 79no’s request above and also a balloon in the sky?
DeleteThere’s enough “hot air” always coming out of Pravda even without Phileas Fogg flying above the ground.
Perhaps it's a portent that Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs will be reforming to provide the halftime 'entertainment' at The H*****d matches this year.
ReplyDelete75,NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteAIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS MUST BE ON STRIKE ?
Fancy letting that lot circle overhead - all at the same time . Folk who were on the ground that day saw something a bit special.
75,NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteLOOKS LIKE LONG SERVING STEWARD , Les has asked Batman to retake his seat . Other spectators seem to have moved about . Perhaps the clouds of smoke produced by Winstons cigar has proved too much for some ?
The Most Honourable Sea Lord Orac CB, OBE, TOFF
ReplyDeleteI spotted the statue but couldn’t tell it was Nelson. Assume HMS Victory is sailing the river Trent, just off picture?
Rescued from his column in Trafalgar Square and relocated to the TBI car park and stabling whilst his guarding Landseer Lions had been taken away for a clean in 1930, following the Great Pigeon Infestations of 1927 and 1929. The infestations never returned in such great numbers after the installation of Nelson's laser beam eye, the work carried out by Nottingham General Hospital's own specialist ophthalmic pioneer Mr Spock (who was centuries ahead of the rest in his field), whilst Nelson convalesced at Trent Bridge.

DeleteThanks for all the laughs and mad British barmy humour on this thread . It's brightened a few gloomy days up .
But that's it .
Zapped!
