Yeah, but to be fair Chris pretty much does what Ray tells him to anyway :biggrin

Thanks for the link CS.

That does look like it's going to be a very funny scene. :lol:

And it helps to explain MG's Tweet yesterday too.

I spy some red balloons in that second pic as well!

I think that deffo counts as the single most BIZZARRE Ashes thing I have ever seen :shock:

Oooooooh! Red balloons behind the Gene one?

I am loving the fact that Alex appears to be kicking Genes but by quite a margin in the scores!!

As he should, because Ray's a DS and Chris is a DC...

The Gene character in that article puts me in mind of the caricature of Ronald Reagan from the Frankie Goes To Hollywood video Two Tribes!

(For those poor souls of us old enough to remember that.... :paperbag:

***Many Spanish festivals include costumed figures known as gigantes y cabezudos, roughly, “Giants and Big-Heads”. An example:http://www.flickr.com/photos/flydime/4284876448/. We could adopt them after the episode :lol:

Haha!

That looks brilliant. Blow-up Gene's ears are a bit like Prince Charles' though aren't they?!

Am I the only one finding the concept of a blow up Gene and Alex a bit Pervy??? :lol:

Funny you should say that GG*, because it brought back memories of Spitting Image to me, which was pretty much the same thing... (and yes, that gave me the heebiejeebies too.... do you remember Reagan had a removable brain?)
