Shandy In The Way Of Control
Ok, I have not had the time to talk about films here for a while. This is because I have either been
a) Working
b) Watching films
c) Drinking.
Not in that order. Nevertheless like everyone else here I had a mini-essay about Control ready to go, which kept being held up by me going to the pub. And then became completely irrelevant because the only comment that needs to be made on the film was sent by e-mail today written by pˆnk s lord sükråt cunctør of this parish which needs further dissemination :
is “control” WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE LIKELY LADS?
ie curtis = bob, new order = terry, deborah = thelma
or is it LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE
ie
CURTIS = COMPO
DEBORAH = NORAH BATTY
BARNEY = CLEGG
HOOKEY = FOGGY
STEPHEN = I DON’T KNOW THEIR NAMES AND NOR DO YOU
however
TONY WILSON = SMILER!! (CF famous ilx gag) (of mine) (but funny all the
same)
er ANNIK = BERT KWOUK

Surely its Two Pints Of Lager. Which Hookey then drinks.
(Actualy 2-Pints is more the New Order Story as Barney is clearly one of the gurls. The one not played by Sheridan Morley).

I have not yet seen Control but if the following is not the case:
Curtis = Fletcher
Debz = Godber
Gretton = Arry Grout
Wilson = Mr Barraclough
I will be very surprised.

Yes you might think that Tim but my spies tell me that:
Curtis = Rene

Hooky = Yvette
Barney = Maria
Stephen = Lt Carstairs

Wilson = Leclerc
The Sex Pistols At The Royal Free Trade Hall Manchester = The Fallen Madonna With The Big Boobies
