...'and the next one right in here'.....Michael Miles.....'shall he open the box or take the money?'



When discovered in an untidy condition (with his willy out) on an airport bus, the policeman asked for his name he said

On his next show Hughie started off by saying "this is the real Hughie Green folks"

Jimmy Clitheroe.


SimonM if The Clitheroe Kid is in the vicinity, what with his 'sit-upon' getting a regular tanning from his aggressive, if not vaguely abusive Scottish grandfather, then can can the Navy Lark not be far behind?


Leslie Phillips - 'Good morning, how are you'?

Ronnie Barker - 'I've been on the WT all morning, sir'

Leslie Phillips - 'I'm so sorry to hear that, hope you get better soon'

Ronnie Barker - 'That's the Wireless Transmitter, sir'


They did it every week, and age never diminished it so far as I was concerned.

Really.

I recall a pop group with a similar name in the mid nineteen hundred and eighty period.

The 'singer' would affect a headband sort of affair.

Were they from the North-East or thereabouts?

One can't be sure.

Poking fun using racial and cultural stereotypes. So Bernard Manning, Charlie Williams, Love Thy Neighbour, Rising Damp, On The Buses, It Aint Arf Hot Mum, The Black and White Minstrels etc etc... Sadly poking fun at some sterotypes still remain, eg, Irish, Polish, Scousers, Brummies, Aussies - though in a few years, maybe even these will be thought of as from another time....

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
