Advantages: A game for three Disadvantages: Doesn't end
The majority of games that can be played with the humble pack of playing cards are based on the game of Whist and SergeantMajor is no exception. But as my original opinion was of a quality that could be only described as diabolical, it has fallen to me to redeem my shame and re-write it. As a general rule I like to keep the original tagged onto the end of any re-write but in this case it has been confined to the virtual dustbin – and good riddance. How it ever gained an “H” let alone a “VH” is beyond me as I wouldn’t have given it a “UH”.
I learned to play SergeantMajor in the Navy as it is a game with no ending and can be stopped at short notice, like when Action Stations sounds or “Free Gangway” is announced or the train pulls into your station.

With the flexibility of being able to attach the most amazing attachments, from sausage makers to food processors the Major flexes its dynamism. This is a very robust machine that in my experience does not scratch easily. If you are toying up whether to get a Kenwood over another brand I would suggest the Kenwood for a number ...
THOUGHTS ON CARRY ON SERGEANT
I hadn't watched this film for several months and although I knew the plot I hadn't seen the film often enough to give it an analytical review without watching it again. However, I enjoyed the film more than I remembered it and certainly laughed in a few more places.
I thought the variation in characterizations was very clever not only in their parody of the Army but creating a bedrock for some of the characters that these actors would portray in later films. William Hartnell's convincing authoritative performance contrasts starkly with the ineptitude of his platoon.

And the development of his character as a willing yet ...
