The Colonial Contingent seconds. No. |

// possible to fuse two English stories together. |

I saw Mary Poppins defeat Voldemort recently. |
|
| |
Under the influnce of which substance(s)? |
|
| |
Change your supplier, that's bad stuff you're
smoking. |
|

Ok, for the nay-sayers, I raise the stakes - His Dark Archers on Ice. I can see it doing well on Broadway. |
|
| |
I'm sure Walt Disney never had these problems. "A mouse, with gloves, a pair of shorts and a squeaky voice? Surely, you jest Mr Disney?" |

// I can see it doing well on Broadway // |
|

And we can see your head looking good on a
spike on Tower Green. |

Danny Boyle, I believe it was. There was Captain Hook also, that's at least three. |
|

I'm guessing you can't do public executions there these days, no bugger would be able to get there due to the Circle Line engineering work? |
|

I'll throw my fishbone onto the pile for this one, I think. The Archers is barely tolerable and His Dark Materials, although it has some nice ideas in it, is over-rated. I would have been neutral though had it not been for the addition of the Ice Spectacular, which I hate.

PS: Can I also add, appropos of nothing, that although I do seem to hate almost everything (especially the monarchy, James Bond & Mr Bean), I thought the Olympics opening ceremony was bloody excellent and my bosom swelled with patriotic pride throughout the whole damned thing. |
|
| |
Likewise, and my sense of pride was enhanced by my knowledge of how little of it would be understood by foreigners - e.g. the short snatch of Shipping Forecast. |
|
| |
Of course, I should have seen it, His Dark Archers on Ice, with Mr Bean... |

I especially enjoyed the part about the invention of industrial air pollution. |

Yes, a great step forward; up to then, the range of things that poor people could afford to die from hadn't changed for centuries - and then whole new vistas of premature mortality were opened up ... |
|
| |
Even now, those imprisoned in The Lowest Circle Of Hell are no doubt watching the opening credits of "Strictly Pro-Celebrity His Dark Archers on Ice, with Mr Bean, Daniel Craig , and the Royal Family Parachute Display Team ..." |
|
| |
And when they change from the Circle Line onto the Central Line, the only available destination is Stratford, where they are charged £18 for a 250ml bottle of warm tap water and then forced to stand in the rain for hours watching heats of the shot put (commentary by David Beckham and Orville the Duck). |
|
| |
Quite right, sqeaketh. Yet another thing that wasn't invented by the French! |
|
| |
Finally thought of a film that could be remade in His Dark Archers style..."A Bridge Too Faa". |
|
| |
In case you hadn't guessed, I'm just working part-time these days and have faa too much free time... |

"Helmsman, lay in a course for Mornington Crescent". |
|

Sterling Archer / C.S. Lewis crossover. There. |
|

^ I can see Archer in Perelandra |

//Harry Potter and the Last Crusade for the Amber Spyglass// |
|

That's right, same as in "Braveheart: The Quickening". |
|
| |
Veronica, Jughead, and Betty travel to a parallel universe where they embark on a mission to rescue bubblegum pop from the influences of autotuning, in His Dark Archies. |
|
| |
What about the story of a commercial landlord who specialises in
leasing badly-illuminated workshops constructed under railway
viaducts which are in the shade of tall buildings built alongside ? |
|
| |
It would be called "His Dark Arches" ... |
|
| |
And the fans could all be referred to as Arch Supports. |
|
| |
Of course the sequel, set in the aftermath of a disaster which causes
the viaduct to collapse would be titled "Fallen Arches" ... |
