TBH I was never a great fan of L and H , although I do appreciate the genius of their work. Didn't know they performed at the Empire though. Stan was born in Ulverston which is near Barrow, apparently there's an L and H museum there. It should be worth a trip for the 40 scummers who make the trip for the Non League opener, to pay homage to fellow purveyors of comedy gold.

Not as scary as Doug and Dinsdale.... Title: Laurel and Hardy Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, July 6, 2008, 11:23:57 Used to watch a fair bit of L&H on SSVC as a kid. SSVC was quite a good channel to watch as a youngster - I doubt I would have had the opportunity to watch some of the classics.
My favourite as a kid - The Phil Silvers Show :D (Granted that was a good 2 decades after L&H peak glory years) Title: Laurel and Hardy Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, July 6, 2008, 11:51:08 Quote from: "Rich Pullen" Used to watch a fair bit of L&H on SSVC as a kid.
