...'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


"Hughie Green"


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.

Dire Straights


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....

    • Sue My point being that if you experience something that could potentially be sorted by a GP, you might feel it necessary to go to A&E, which would be clogged up due to the doctors strike.  Just my opinion, but I don't really see that its necessary to close a surgery for half a day for staff training.  
    • A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10! 
    • Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly. 
    • The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time
