Entertaining Miss Daisy.

dreamdaisy

It struck me, in the small wee hours this morning, that I need to start creating a play list for my MP3, get some new stuff on the Kindle and ask 'im indoors to go to Blockbuster to sort out some films. I thought about 'You need hands' by Max Bygraves, 'Knuckleberry Finn' by Mark Twain and of course The English Patient. I thought Mr DD might like 'Lean on Me' . Any further suggestions will be gratefully received so don your thinking caps, yes? I hope you have fun with this, I'm still thinking but my brain is sludge. :roll: DD

daisy you are something else......................only thing i can think of at the mo is..................hands that do dishes can fel soft as your face mild green fairy liquid..............trust you to turn this into a laugh you are some woman xx

ichabod6

how about "A funny thing happened on the way to the forum?"

stickywicket

OK, this has involved every brain cell I possess - yeah, both of 'em. How about:

Songs
We Shall Not be Moved
Please, Release Me
You’ll Never Walk Alone
Do Not Forsake Me O My Darling
Gimme, Gimmme. Gimme a Hand After Midnight
Thank You for the Loo Seat
Carpal Tunnel of Love

Books
Hard Times
Arms and the Woman
Vile Bodies
The Waste Hand
The Winter of Our Discontent

And, for MR DD:

Knowing Me, Knowing You
I Can’t Stop Shoving You

Yes DD, I like this.

The film "Cool Hand Luke" could be renamed "Cool Hand Daisy"

As for songs,

"Willie and the Hand Jive" becomes "Daisy and the Hand Jive"

"Second Hand Rose" becomes "Second Hand Daisy"

and one from Bob Marley "Brand New Second Hand"

dreamdaisy

I just knew you'd all be better than me at this and thank you for the giggles! DD

DD, you have to HAND it to us, we don't try to PALM you off with any old CLAPtrap.
Did you know, hands are a lot like bells? especially when they're wrung.

refereerick

Songs-
Hand in Glove - The Smiths
I Wanna Hold Your Hand - The Beatles
Slow hand - Eric Clapton
China in your hand - T'pau
Hands Up - Ottawan
And anything by Stiff Little Fingers

Any kind of HAND book :roll:

dreamdaisy

Ye gods refereerick, that last comment is staggeringly, groaningly wonderful and thus provided a massive laugh - thank you, I still believe that laughter is the best medicine! DD

valval

once twice three times a lady or dancing queen (that one for tony lol)

You're far too much of a whippersnapper to remember the Hand Jive, young DD, but presumably any of the very early '60's stuff would lend itself to it.

Mat48

Heck guys - I'm still Standing - and HANDSome with it? Mat xxx

bubbadog

Ho Miss Daisy thank you, thank you, thank you for making me chuckle! I needed that badly! As for the thoughts:-

Songs:-

Move your body
Frozen shoulder
get that dirt off your shoulder
Fingers

Books

The lovely bones
The bone collecter

Inspiration strikes, courtesy of W A Mozart:

La ci darem la mano

dreamdaisy

:? My Italian ain't up to translating that. 'Mano' must be hand but the other words are unknown. :oops: I am sorry, Sticky, je suis une dimwit. DD

Mat48

Okay culture vultures how about this with a festive twist; Mr HANDel - give us some Messiah soon so we can all be happy - and if you're happy and you know it clap your hands (or arthritic mits in many of our cases?!) :?

dreamdaisy

Alas, the one thing (well, one of the many things in the early stages) I won't be doing is hand-clapping - I won't want to burst open my wounds! I like the suggestion though - I for one shall certainly say 'Hallelujah!' when I get out of theatre. DD

Mat48

Yes sing it out gospel style DD and wave both hands in the air (making sure you don't hit a scalpel or a doc/ nurse in the face first though).

In which case you're in good company. Not speaking Italian, I kind of assumed, based on spanish. I thought I was offering you a hand. (Not the best offer in the world, as anyone who has seen mine will agree, but well meant.

I've now looked it up and it appears I was proposing marriage to you :shock: Fond of you as I am, I really feel that both Mr SW and Mr DD might object and, besides, you're not really my marital type. May I rescind the offer :oops:

blueknees

Hope you don't mind me joining in

If you (k)need(ed) somebody by Bad Company

When I (k)need you - leo Sayer

Everybody (k)need(s) somebody to love - Blues brothers

dreamdaisy

Of course I don't mind blueknees, it's lovely to hear from you. My knees are also in trouble so being hand-less for a while is not ideal but hey-ho, where's the challenge in having an easy life? DD

tjt6768

Fingers (things) that make you go mmm
Anything by the POINTer Sisters

Sorry, in pain so can't think reet.

Bless ya DD for keeping the humour going.
Xxxxxxxxxx

dreamdaisy

The POINTer sisters? Ye gods man, how do you do it? DD

PS Sticky, I'm all overcome. :oops:
