Spectator Sport by Nancy Armstrong-Thomson

Long story short…lol...I went to emerg last weekend because hubby thought the toe I thought I broke at the beginning of February did not look good. They took Xrays but the doc thought that there was no sign of breakage even though the knuckle was really swollen and red. Late Wednesday night I got a call that the radiologist read the Xrays and it showed a bone chip fracture. Yesterday after gardening I came in and my whole foot was so unbelievably itchy, swollen and red I went back up to emerg to make sure it was just Athlete's foot from the buddy taping I'd been told to do. Yes, just Athlete's foot…:) But the toe won't heal for another six months and I can't do any weight bearing exercises like running so it's back to the swimming pool for me and I'll put the recumbent bike in the driveway to get some fresh air…lol. One of my goals of turning 60 this year was to take part in the Women's Triathlon they have here every summer. Spectator sport now! There's always next year! :)

105/365 "Take five Bokehs, three Peppers, two Tylenol, and call me in the morning." --Doctor's Orders by quepasaboy

Gosh darn it. This tummy ache has been teasing me for the last three days...

I will go to bed feeling fine and dandy. Then I wake up 3 hours later to splitting pain.... It's so random. By noon it's gone and everything is fine. Someone cure me!

The only reason for today's idea was because of my friend. He came over last night and left his Dr. Pepper can on my table, not even opened. I own this Dr. Pepper shirt, which I happened to be wearing today to school. When I got home I put two and two together! Viola! I'm a Pepper!

However, I'm not much of a Dr. Pepper kind of guy. It's ok on occasions, but my love is with Sprite and Coca Cola. I did used to love Mr. Pib though, before it became that gross Pib Extra or whatever it is called now.... :(

This brings me to my next question of the day..... What do you think bokehs taste like?

I think they taste fizzy!

Special Thanks to Juan for the Bokehs pictured above!

Have a good one my Amigos! =)

When I arrived home from work, I found this note on top of a Red Velvet Cake.

"Prescription for Sore Throat - Take 1 slice before and 1 slice after dinner. Dr. Baxter"

I was sure to follow the doctor's orders very carefully. I've had the one slice before dinner. Now for dinner. What else? Nutrisystem!!!!!!! :-)

The Sneaker business- Spin Doctor by errol

Age? Old enough to know better.

Occupation? DJ / Promoter / Connoisseur

How many pairs do you own? Not certain but in the region of 200 I guess. Never been inclined to count them as although I do collect kicks I have never considered myself a collector as such. I would never buy a pair if I did not intend to wear them.

What are your favorites and why? AF1's of pretty much any style. They are a design classic that you can rock with anything. If I had to pick one pair I would say the Thompson's.

What's more important sex or trainers? We all wear fresh kicks to look hot and appeal to ladies to get laid so it has to be sex! When my girl moans about me spending money on sneaks I tell her it is "love insurance". If I did not look hot her eye would start wandering. She therefore thinks that she is so important that she is why I spend all this money.

Leslie Fuller 1890-1948 by Owen Smithers

3

Leslie Fuller was a British comedy film actor. He was married to the actress Nancy Bates. Albert Leslie Fuller was born in Bethnal Green, London, although many biographies wrongly state Margate, as he had a lifelong association with this seaside town. His father was Albert Fuller and his mother was Amelia Lepley. In 1891 his father was running a coffee house, but by 1901 he was a self-employed printer and as a boy, Leslie would help his father in the business. From an early age Leslie became obsessed with show business and started performing in a small schoolboy minstrel troupe. Blessed with a voice of sorts (he described himself as a ‘bad baritone’) and with a repertoire of only three songs, he joined a troupe playing on Brighton beach. He then moved on to join a troupe in Maidenhead, playing in a small marquee by the river and during the regatta on the river itself in a small punt! Between 1909-1912 both Leslie and Dave Fuller performed in ‘The Silloth Pierrots’ at Silloth in Cumbria. In 1914 at the end of a summer season in Weston-Super-Mare, Leslie married one of his fellow entertainers a 26 year old dancer and male impersonator Beatrice Witham.

Leslie had also become a keen cyclist and held various cycling records before the Great War. On the outbreak of that conflict Leslie became Second-Lieutenant Albert Fuller of the Huntingdonshire Cyclist Battalion. When his show business talents were discovered he was asked to form a Battalion concert party. There were many men in the battalion with talent, including a young Charles Laughton. The concert party was a great success and Leslie became one of the leading comedians in the British Army concert party circuit.

On his demob he acquired all the rights and property of the concert party and, retaining some of the wartime members of the troupe, he started up his own venture. Beatrice was a talented clothes designer and seamstress and together they set about putting ‘The Ped’lers’ onto a commercial footing. They arrived in Margate for the summer season in 1919 playing to appreciative audiences at the Clifton Hall which was attached to the Baths at Margate. The couple moved into 25 Cliftonville Avenue and had two sons, Roy & Donald.

By the 1930s Leslie had become well known as ‘The rubber-faced comedian’ and spent his summer seasons in Margate. In the winter he and his Margate ‘Ped’lers’ toured the Oswald Stoll theatre circuit, including The Coliseum and The Alhambra in London. He was also appearing in radio programmes. He was becoming noticed and was offered a part in a film by producer Joe Rock who had produced Stan Laurel’s comedies. This was the start of his film career and he went on make around 26 films between 1930-1945 many known as ‘quota quickies’. He even leased the old Neptune studios at Elstree and produced his own movies under the name ‘Leslie Fuller Pictures Ltd’. During this period he was a very big name and drew massive crowds at any public appearances.

In 1930, just as his film career had taken off, Leslie was hit by tragedy, as his wife Beatrice, who had been ill for about two years, died. It must have been unbearable for Leslie to be away filming a comedy whilst his wife lay dying. Life went on and Leslie made many more films and whilst he was filming ‘The Pride of the Force’ in 1932, he was to meet the woman who was to become his next wife. Nancy Bates was appearing in a rather exotic role as a bare-back elephant rider in a circus. She had appeared in concert parties doing tap routines together with her sisters Helen and Cecilia and her brother Johnnie, so had a lot in common with Leslie. They married and bought a house in Teddington, Middlesex and became the parents of twin girls, Anne & Sheila, whose godparents were Renee Houston and Gracie Fields.

It is hard for us now to appreciate Leslie’s popularity and huge following; Pathe News filmed the girls christening and the studios dubbed Leslie as Elstree’s Clark Gable. Funny man though he was, he was certainly no Clark Gable! With the onset of WW2, few films were being made. Also Leslie’s style of comedy was beginning to look a bit dated. In 1945 Leslie made one last film called ‘What do we do now?’ in which he only had a minor role supporting another comedian George Moon.

He sold up his Teddington house and moved back to Margate, taking up residence at 20 Cornwall Gardens. He stood for and was elected as an independent councillor for the Cliftonville Ward in 1945. He was a man of energy who busied himself in local affairs and often turned out to play in charity cricket matches. He revived ‘The Ped’lers’ again for the 1946 summer season at the Lido Theatre, Cliftonville, and this new production was a great success. In 1948 Leslie died at home after a suffering a severe brain haemorrhage. He is buried at Margate cemetery.

In almost all his movies he always played and named in the part as Bill.

Would like to thank John T. Williams a Margate Local Historian, Max Tyler of the British Music Hall Society also Geoff.J. Mellor and Geoff Walter for supplying some of this information. Via Wikipedia.
