Sgt Stripes Posted 6 December , 2019 Share Posted 6 December , 2019 Its Christmas time and I'm up for a laugh. In 1980 Jona Lewie had a unexpected hit with STOP THE CAVALRY. One line in the song's lyrics goes, Bang that's another bomb on another town while the czar and Jim have tea. My question is who was Jim. Was he in the Army, Navy or RFC. Maybe he was a spy or a member of HM government or a Ambassador. From ABs to Admirals, Ptes to Generals help me find a suitable candidate and solve this mystery. One clue is that Czar Nicholas abdicated in 1917 so he must have meet Jim before that date. My guess is that he was James Bonds grandfather.

Jim Clay Posted 6 December , 2019 Share Posted 6 December , 2019 I think he was Eccles' nephew, Little Jim, from The Goon Show: Little Jim's single line "He's fallen in the wa-ater" became a national catchphrase. According to a recent TV special about Spike Milligan, the phrase was originated by Peter Sellers' young son. In The Last Goon Show of All, it was revealed that Little Jim was Eccles' nephew, and that apart from "He's fallen in the wa-ater", only Eccles could understand Little Jim's speech, even Little Jim himself having no idea.

Muerrisch Posted 6 December , 2019 Share Posted 6 December , 2019 I think it was: While Luzar and Jim have tea. Thus there is no time frame, and Little Jim is as good a candy date as any. Bloodnok has an opinion but is asleep under the waitress at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancpal Posted 6 December , 2019 Share Posted 6 December , 2019 Who is/was Luzar then, and his connection to Jim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muerrisch Posted 6 December , 2019 Share Posted 6 December , 2019 Bloodnok swears that Mrs Luzar, of Polish origin, was no better than she ought to be. Jim did not stop at taking tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolt968 Posted 6 December , 2019 Share Posted 6 December , 2019 Not "Luzar", "The Tzar". Bang! That's another bomb on another town While the Tsar and Jim have tea If I get home, live to tell the tale I'll run for all presidencies. (I have a theory which I will keep to myself - at least for the moment.) RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
