WHENEVER YOU'RE FEELING LONELY....

....or you're gettin' in a stew,
Just lend your ear - come over here, and, man, here's what you do,

If you've got the blues,
then I've got some news,
join in the fun in your blue suede shoes.
With the holiday rock, the holiday rock,
the ho-de-ho-de-hi-de-hi holiday rock.


Sorry about that. Its my third night of sleeping with my mask on tonight. I totally love it. I feel just like Yvonne from Hi-De-Hi (although mine is not as posh as I remember hers being, its the one you get free if you fly with B.A.). Its just blue and not frilly.

Which reminds me of the greatest joke of all time...
"The last time I went on holiday, I flew with BA.
It was terrible. He kept shouting: ‘You crazy foo’. I ain’t gettin’ on no plane!’"


Anyway, I digress...

The blinds on my window in my bedroom let an amazing amount of daylight in which wakes me up every morning around 5, I may have mentioned this before.Its tres non bon. But now with my black out sleep mask thing going to sleep has improved a thousand fold. Infact, I'm in bed already and its only just 10 o'clock. It works a treat.

I never understood it as a kid when I saw Yvonne from Hi-De-Hi wear one....the sleep mask.To be honest, I hated her and Barry in it. I loved the child hating Punch and Judy man, cant remember his name - Mr Peacock or something, I of course liked Fred the best and Peggy. Loathed the Welsh one and didnt understand what that old jockey man was doing in it. Looking back, was Jeffery gay in it? You dont understand gay when you are a kid do you. Maybe they do now but I cant remember thinking Larry Grayson was gay when I watched The Generation Game, I just thought he was hilarious. Steven Carrington in Dynasty is when I found out what there was such a thing as gay. Anyway, Im off the point now...

Its time to don my eyemask and go to bed. Im so excited!!!

Then again, I might try and find some vintage Hi-De-Hi on youtube first...


Hi-de-hi-de-hi, ho-de-ho-de-ho, go go go do the holiday rock
Hi-de-hi-de-hi, ho-de-ho-de-ho, go go go do the holiday rock
Yeah......................

To be vintage implies at one time it was good.

Hi de hi does not fit into this category.

Take that back Cress.

I loved Saturday teatimes watching Hi De Hi, granted I hated it as I got older but back in the day it was right up there with the A Team for me.

No.

Even as a five year old I knew it was crap. Don't even try and compare it to the A-team.
