A fight in the office..........

[Jack]

There is a fight going on in the office this morning between Jamie and I.

Here is the argument;

There is a line from a film and it goes like this;

'Broadsword calling Dannyboy'......'Broadsword calling Dannyboy'

Now I reckon that it comes from the film Wild Geese with Richard Burton, Richard Harris and Roger Moore to mention just a few or it is from Where Eagles Dare.

Jamie reckons I am wrong and is getting rather arsey about it

Can anyone put him out of his misery.................before I do!!

Yours beggingly.

Jack.

 

[Jamie]

Can anyone put him out of his misery.................

I cant put here what I want to say to that!!!!!!

 

[bambodoggy]

It's from "Where Eagles Dare", with Richard Burton talking to London and Clint Eastward with him.



Bam.

 

[george]

[familne]

I think it's from Where Eagles Dare!

 

[Jack]

Nope.

That site is wrong!

 

[Jamie]

see, told you it wasnt the wild geese jack......nananananananana

 

[george]

Of course in the Wild Geese they could have had a television on in the background in one of the scenes playing a re-run of "where eagles dare"....

George, now youre just being silly I won and thats that!!!!! lol

 

[Jamie]

Now Jack is trying to say that Wild Geese was first released before Where Eagles Dare.......(wheres the forehead slap emoticon when you want it???)

Anyone want a business partner? Slightly used, but in decent enough nick....if you dont mind him being leathery etc

If there arent any takers here, might have to ebay him!

The point that I was trying to make to Jamie was George could also be wrong because if a re-run of where eagles dare was playing in the background of Wild Geese then it would be difficult seeing that as Where Eagles Dare was made after Wild Geese so it would be impossible to have a re-run of Where Eagles Dare as it wasn't even made then.

Jack, time to call it a day mate, George was trying to support your spurious and erroneous first statement...only for you to say the above......i dunno, what i have to put up with day in day out.............................

 

[sandbender]

Its from 'Where Eagles Dare'...

Well in that case it is entirely possible that some of the actors in "the wild geese" were going to be trying out for parts in " where eagles dare" . In which case it is not outwith the bounds of possibility (though somewhat outwith the bounds of credibility) that a stray phrase or two has managed to work its way into the soundtrack of the wild geese.

Alternatively...Jack you're wrong...deal with it

Blimey, I reckon that is exactly how it happened.

Thanks for that George.

Erm to save further embarrasment over future movie arguments may i suggest judicious use of IMDB

absoloutley definitive search options including movie plots and quotes

gord knows its been used a number of times to bring me down a peg or two when SWMBO needs to prove a point



( way OT i know but SWMBO has presented me with a dilema having just discovered what the acronym means she says she doesnt like it and would rather i didnt use it ?! open to suggestions as to how to solve this paradox?)

Personally I always refer to the other half as HWMBLT...He who must be listened to....doesn't mean I have to *do* what I'm told though!

Or what about "MLM" my little mill stone.

 

[MartiniDave]

It always amuses me in Where Eagles Dare, you've got Richard Burton hunched over the radio, quickly half wispering "Broadsword calling Danny-boy", quite a bit of urgency in his voice. But, in the reaction shot back at HQ his voice is coming from the radio in his very best "Royal Shakespear Company" tone and enunciation! Continuity - pah!

I know, I need to get out more!

 

[ronsos]

I was stuck in traffic listening to Radio 4,when someone did Burton saying this-made me laugh(is this what kicked off the workplace debate?).I always thought something was missing in Rays ' RealHeroes of Telemark,now I know what.

Make a great ringtone though.....
