dead right Brian 8) you do stop for certain scenes...

One of my favourites... Carry on don't lose your Head.

Joan Sims in arbor talking to Charles Hawtrey(Le Duc de Pommes Frittes) about Kenneth Williams..
"My brother"(pause) looks into camera, "The Count...." yes and they did get away with it.. how that got past the censor I still don't know but it is one of the lesser known but most outrageous Carry On moments :lol

And Dean.. I agree with the self narrated Spike Milligan talking books.. I too have cried with laughter especially when he's doing it whilst reading it!!

On a more serious not the unabridged Cornwell Arthurian novels... very good

Hi,
at the moment I 'm watching a lot of the older Doctor Who stories. Usually end up puting the comentary on while painting.

As for carry on Films you can't beat Carry on Screaming or Up the Khyber.

Hi guys,

I do listen to music from time to time when painting but the music depends on the period

Dark ages/ Medieval- Death metal :twisted: usually Zyklon, Grimfist or Carpathian Forest as most of the bands come from Norway it really sets the mood.

Horse and Musket - any classical or folk rock like the Levellers.

WW1 /WW2 etc - tends to be gothic Fields of the Nephilim, Sisters of Mercy or Bauhaus. Not really sure why :? .

Sci Fi - Tends to be Massive Attack 8) again not sure why.

Films tend to be something along the lines of the Harry Palmer trilogy or perhaps Blade Runner even Barry Lyndon gets a run out anything that is mostly dialogue rather than action.

The TV is always on its amazing how you can just use it as background noise with exception of Casualty which I always end up watching no matter how hard I try. (Yes I know very sad :roll: )

Never thought about audio books will have to give them a try.

Cheers, Paul.
C'mon Wakey!
