It ain't what it used to be...

[caddyman]

Oh, what happened to you,
Whatever happened to me?
What became of the people
We used to be?

For some reason I woke up this morning with the theme tune to Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads in my head, and I can't shift it. It is just repeating endlessly in the back of my head to the point of annoyance. The essence of even marginally successful BBC TV comedy shows, I suppose.

It is particularly odd since the programme was never one of my favourites - although despite the continual looping in my head right now, I always liked the theme song. Maybe I am off on some unconscious nostalgia kick; if so, I'd much prefer to have Dad's Army wandering around my cranium. Or Man About the House - not because of the quality of the comedy of acting, though it had its moments, but because my febrile teenage libido fancied the hell out of Sally Thomsett.

I seem to have lost control of my own nostalgia, now.

I was thinking more Man About the House. I've always liked a woman with sticky out teeth!
