It is also a game to give you something to do while you wait for internet. Hit the space bar on your keyboard to activate the game, then use the spacebar again to make the dinosaur jump to avoid objects (disconnect from wi-fi if you want to try this, the game can be quite addictive).

Yes and it was sung by Bud Flanagan of the once Crazy Gang troupe. In a drama based on the making of Dads Army Roy Hudd I think it was, is seen portraying Flanagan discussing the tune.

By a staggering coincidence to the above that programme We're Doomed! the Dads Army story is being shown this weekend on BBC2 as part of their 50th anniversary at 7.30pm with the afore-mentioned Roy Hudd.

Did you know.....?

According to Mike Summerbee, it took Pele more than twenty five attempts to score his bicycle kick goal in the film "Escape To Victory"

On the 23rd of March 1994, a scheduled flight from Moscow to Hong Kong crashed, killing all 75 people on board, after the relief pilot allowed his teenage son to sit at the aircraft controls.

Unbeknownst to the flight crew, who believed that the auto-pilot would remain in control of the plane, the boy applied enough pressure to the control column to override the autopilot, causing the plane to bank right, gently at first but then to an almost 90 degree angle, and lose altitude quickly. The increased g-forces prevented the pilots from re-taking control, as none of them were sat in their seats in the cockpit (and in fact it was still the teenage boy who was in control of the plane, on the blackbox recording the captain and co-pilot can be heard desperately yelling instructions to him). The autopilot pitched the plane up in an attempt to correct, causing the plane to stall. The plane then nose-dived. The crew managed to re-take their seats at the control column, but the co-pilot then over-corrected, causing the plane to stall again. By the time the plane was back under qualified crew control and levelled out, it was too late, and the plane crashed, killing everyone on board.

Due to Linda Hamilton getting herself knocked up and selfishly (I would say) declining to do more than a few Beauty and the Beast episodes in season three. The show wasn't renewed for a fourth season. Because to figure out a way to cope with her quitting the writers needed to throw out their until that point carefully planned story arch. Performing an about face in all plot lines. Which naturally wasn't embraced by the viewers.
Bah

For want of a pill .
A condom or being prepared to work while pregnant (Something the majority of women do the world over and in professions a hell of a lot more demanding) she cost the jobs of a couple hundred people !.

Bless her

It didn't do Ron Perlman's career any real harm though, He went from TV dramas to Hollywood movies.

True enough

Although he has stated that regretted not being able to finish the original story/show as planned (Something that odds on he would have been allowed to do, if she hadn't pissed off) since loved the character of Vincent , and wanted to see him done justice

Yeeeeah look at Linda

Like butter wouldn't bleeding melt
