The Bargee is a 1964 British comedy film

-
This movie changed my life. A right angled turn (90 degrees) in ninety seconds.

I was eleven, 1964, my parents took me to (Bridlington, East Yorkshire) see the The Bargee [PG] . My dad did seem quite exited to go.  I fell in love.  Something in the film, no idea what yet, as I am yet about to replay it, just blew me away.  My love [a deep desire/need for more] of The Bargee meant three days later I turned up for the afternoon performance, pretended to be 16 (I was a freaky big ) and the girl on the counter (also pretending to be 16) smiled and took my money. I felt a huge adrenaline (endorphin)  rush, walking confidently into the cinema to bluff my age. I loved it even more the second time around.  Heaven would have looked, smelt and tasted like being The Bargee. Hang on see my Ps.

I have just replayed it and ... I'm hooked and blown away again. Old fashioned British comedy at its best. I can see why life on the water hooked -anchored even - me from an early age.

Lambo

Ps. Thirty years later I would buy - no idea how it worked even - my first boat, a Seamaster 22 for £6,700  located in Ware, Hertfordshire (my commission from selling the Rotunda building in Camden Town) and go on those very same adventures with my then wife Kerry with children Christopher and Emily. Fifty years later I am still hooked.

Om The Bargee.

Rugby Injuries and Cannabis. Harlequins - Holland & Barrett - England - Canada

-

Lambo was a Harlequin. Harlequin is a sativa marijuana strain renowned for its reliable expression of CBD. This strain provides clear-headed effects and the ability to relax without sedation or intoxication. [Leafy.com] Harlequins are probably the World's most famous rugby team. Their replica shirt outsells all bar the international sides. Lambo is their all-time record try scorer (127) holds the record (8) for tries scored in a single match at Twickenham.   A lot of Sativa was smoked, some by folk who are still well known. He played England rugby age 14 to 23, sports car and London life. All ended in Montreal (England U23 tour to Canada) in a lift at 2am. Meeting the manager (Budge Rodgers) in said lift smelling of said Harlequin Sativa was not a good move, the lady with him noticed the smell first, the lady with Lambo thought it was funny. Lambo didn't, nor did the manager. Unsurprisingly, the test team (John Carlton got the nod) did not include his name. His dream was shatte

My Story 9. Normanton High School - Shock - Sex - Drugs - Fame - Girls galore

  Normanton High School for Girls, now has boys. The shock came on Friday 30th December 1965. Colin took his grammar school entrance exam early December and nothing has been heard.  He has spent a very unhappy Christmas, feeling lost, no interest in rugby and just fed up as back to North Featherstone secondary modern next week.  He is talking to himself, I listen, ‘You are a total idiot, what made you write some fantasy bollocks about a boat trip to London, anyone with half a brain, which clearly you don’t have, will see you made the whole lot up'. The horror, of throwing away his golden chance hit’s Colin as the clunk sound of brass on brass rattles the letter box; end of hallway bottom of stairs to right, babysitter room to left,  a letter lands on the floor, mum and I stare at it, Mr C W Lambert, 17 Alexander Road, Featherstone, is typed on the front,  my heart is racing,  preparing myself for the, ‘sorry young man but you didn’t get selected’ letter and then … Woolworths, Ponte

Lambo arrested update. Do I stay or do I go.

14th December 2023 - 167 Sheen Court Richmond. Both Colin & Lambo are about to be arrested.  18th December 2023. This is unreal, surreal, like some adventure movie where survival is paramount. In the photo above I was alone while four police offices, police van and car, threee men, the mother and father of one of the men, entertained the whole of Sheen Court for five hours whilst making many phone calls while  discussing the law of trespass. Aparently I am either a squatter or a treaspasser. Hey ho I have a choice, surender , walk away a free man or have a flasback to the previous time four day after Sheila (her estate own the flat) died. 2nd March 2020, four days after  It started around 1300, Lambo was in his office out the back fetching a ream of paper to download a Cam-Corder manual. 'Colin is that you' he hears. Um, not a voice he knows but, 'yes I will be with you in a moment and all this fucking paper is damp’. 'Colin Lambert, we are arresting you for ha
