Is the film really that old?
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

When I were a lad, the best bit of that film wasn't the Welsh fighting spirit, or the English stiff upper-lip.
It was the boobies dance at the Zulu camp.
There was no internet in those days.
A wanker AND a pansy apparently.
Oh, and a wimp, and 'not a real man'.

Funny you should say that, it had quite an effect on me. I was about 10 and having watched Hollywood starlets with clothes that enclosed apparently cone shaped breasts that didn't move the variety of size and shape and sheer jiggliness of a woman's wossnames was quite an eye opener.
