Wham
December 1st, 2005 at 23:26 (1940s)
I don’t know if the British group Wham! has named themselves after this piece of ham. The movie you can guess today is reported to see a remake soon. But I doubt anybody will surpass the original cast. And always remember:
If you ain’t eatin’ Wham, you ain’t eatin’ ham.
A must-see for anyone contemplating embarking on the formidable task of “building their dreamhouse” just like “Mr. Balding”.
Not that it is going to deter anyone from believing they are well-prepared and wary of every potential pitfall. They don’t realise they are in an “I kind of felt that he kind of felt that if I kind of told you that you’d know that he knew that you knew” kind of situation until it’s too late. Throw in a “you’ve been taken to the cleaners, and you don’t even know your pants are off” epilogue, and they realise they have just finished a game of Inca basketball and their “skulls” will be prominently displayed above their newly-acquired fireplace.
There is a Greek saying that if you haven’t had a house built or a wedding planned for a daughter you haven’t experienced life’s real problems. In that respect, I can consider myself lucky!
Not quite…it’s a certain Mr. Blandings (Cary Grant) who wants to build his dream house….see the entry at imdb.
Woof, woof, you definitely are a very strict judge!
I’ll have to be careful with my “s”s from now on.
Of course I am very strict. And a Mr. Balding is not a Mr. Blandings…there’s an ‘n’ missing too…
