How did Moxey ride all the way from Merseyside to the banks of the River Tees without knowing how to stop (or even slow down) the motorbike? Surely at some point on the journey he must have needed to slow down or stop for some traffic, a traffic light or zebra crossing? I know I'm going back a bit ...

I have read all 43 pages of this, and have been howling with laughter at some posts :) There were 24 hour tattoo studios in Dusseldorf in the early 80s. Some people don't know that Stevie Nicks is female. (I laughed and said "who's he" under my breath when this episode was first on, so my Dad then t...

Welcome 'Skeef'.... im the git that does the banners and i added Staveley because of Barry mentioning it of course... ;) Like I said, I never realised it would stick in anyone else's minds except ours (or other peole who knew the place) really. I think all the banners/avatars are great but of cours...

Hi Skeef 143, yes,I am 'Staveley', I picked the name because I had a mate there, it was not a fashionable place at all back in the days of Auf, hence Bombers saying to Barry " Bomber does not want to go to Staveley!" when they are looking for some 'action.' I had a college mate I used to go and sta...

I'm glad it's not just me who has puzzled over how come the Swedish air stewardesses knew Wayne's surname, or how come Bomber was living in the hut when he'd clearly been there a lot longer than the others! One for me is, bearing in mind Dennis and Barry had worked together previously, they didn't s...

Afraid I shall have to pop your balloon my friend - the 1985 snooker final was on a Sunday night. If you saw it on the Saturday, it would have been the second session of the match, not the closing one. AWP was definitely on the Saturday night, so it must have the earlier frames of the snooker, my a...

Velcome mein friend ! Put your things in your hut. Hut??? What about the hostel :D Hi Tracy - I hope you don't mind me mentioning this, but I've had a look over some of the longer topics the last few days, and you've mentioned speedway a couple of times, I'm a Sheffield Tigers fan "I know this plac...

I don't know if this has been brought up elsewhere, but I watched this episode earlier, and I noticed that Dagmar was handing out what looked like the Brits' pay packets.... I thought this "vas not their responsibility", but Herr Pfister's.....

Auf Wiedersehen, Pet was actually on telly that night too, you may remember Series 1 was repeated on Saturday nights in early 1985. I remember this night well, as my parents and I were returning from a holiday in the Rhine (not the Tyne ;) ) Valley, and we were staying in a hotel in London that nigh...

I know I'm bringing up an old post, but this episode is my favourite of all - the moment Wayne tells Oz that Hedley was cremated will make me laugh for ever just as much as the first time I saw it....

The look on Wayne's face when Tracy says "I'm only 16 remember" after Bomber says "Get a Schnapps down you girl" after she's asked for a Coke when they go to the club after they are reunited.

In "The Girls They Left Behind" when Margery is trying to hide the bloke's tie when Oz comes in, also when she is quickly noseying around Vera's kitchen earlier in the same episode. Dennis doing the chicken impression when they get served prawn curry in the Indian Restaurant - it's prawn, y'knaa squ...

Hi, new member saying Hello. Been a huge fan since Who Won The War Anyway? - at this time I was studying A Level German (although I was later to give it up) so I could understand Herren Ulrich und Grunwald's discussions :) I've been having a look around the forum and I'm highly amused to see one of ...
