Yes, also, the "little fingers that stuck out" refers to The Invaders.

Ahh thank you! I was wracking my brain to remember the name of that
one.

Now what was the hero's name, not Steve Austin?

Steve Austin = six million dollar man
David Vincent?

Back in the seventies or so ISTR several series where Aliens were
living among us and running things.

In one they had little fingers that stuck out, in another they had
lizard tongues and in another their knees worked backwards.

Does anyone else find it coincidental that no such series have been
repeated since the BBC (and others) got rid of all their engineers and
relaced them with Deputy Chief Assistant Programme Controllers and the
like?

The Lizard people?
They invented and moved into HR Management
Haven't you notice that 25 years ago HR depts didn't exist

Have you noticed that for every engineer there are 3 HR people?

At least 3, David Icke is right the lizard people are taking over,
first HR depts, tomorrow the world!

No, you can still use finger and thumb without doing the 'Tooting
Bec'.

Of course if your ancestors were of the type to throw wooden boxes of
tea over the side then you wouldn't know.

Ask your 'honourary aunt' how Balham ('Gateway To the South') is these
days! ;-)

That's easy if you've used bone china cups instead of cracked mugs.
The handle centres are maybe small enough to get two fingers through
at best and the lower fingers either hang against the hot cup or
instinctively the user gets the offending finger out of the way.

Actually, one of my ancestors was a member of the aristocracy who
commanded a regiment in the Crimean War. I have distant cousins whom
I see mainly at family weddings and funerals, whose father sat in the
Lords until his death. My grandfather was Colonel In Chief of the
Kings Own Scottish Borderers.

I assure you that none of these people would drink or would have drunk
tea with their little finger sticking out.

OK but do you tip your soup plate away or towards you?

Nowadays, however, I use a bloody great mug as being much more
practical ...

but do you drink from the side of the mug furthest from your mouth? )

You do when you have hiccups.

It depends how big a straw you use to suck up the soup with

I should have looked on IMDB, sometimes I am slow.

Apparently it was redone in the nineties

Not seen that version

They eat engineers.

They're equally rampant in the NHS, according to a friend who works in
a major hospital the number of managers exceeded nurses, and clerical
workers exceeded medically qualified people way back in the 80s. So
it's probably far worse now.

be slightly wary of the term "clerical workers". It includes all
non-medically qualified staff such as x-ray & plaster technicians,
cleaners, porters, caterers and a whole load of support staff without whom
the hospitals would stop working.

I am not (and never have been) connected with the NHS (except as a patient)
