Some people walk into a bar

Was bit murky when I looked in but swore I saw David Threlfall...


..and a local match seller told me that the 'international/world famous' star referred to was Hugh B. not Mr Mac.


Giggsy was definitely practising his inswingers though.


Believe Sheerah and Ms. Logan were in another bar altogether.


And Monty was in the old bar with Andrew Marr and Fred the Shred before it got bulldozed

The Premiership footballer confessed all to his wife the other day, wife subsequently "devastated", Ryan Giggs doesn't play for Man Utd against Arsenal today as he has 'a touch of flu'. Team mates realise identity of super-injunction holder, play sh-t and get beaten 1-0. Just a theory, mind.

Wasn't i being obvious enough? i did credit Gerald Wiley (Ronnie Barker's nom de plume) and he used it thus "Tonight's news will be read in broil. I'm sorry I'll feel that again..."

Hmmm maybe but... Cook first used it in 1976 on Derek and Clive (Live) and I think Barker may have already used it by then so maybe Cook stole it from Barker? (cries of "surely not!" "never!" etc)


ETA: the quote -(circa 197?)


Scene, Barker taking off a BBC newsreader, shoulders and face shot looking straight into the camera, very serious....


" And that was the news for our sighted viewers. We now continue with the news in Broille....."

- pause, with puzzled look on his face, looks down at his hands floating over a big book

"Sorry, I'll just feel that again!"

    • FredMarsh Started conversation: 6 minutes ago I must agree ! Shopping in Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill has become very unpleasant ! The erection of coral fencing  to herd us all in one direction so that we can be observed by security prior to getting into the "shop" is quite horrible. The fresh meat counter has gone . The fresh fish counter has gone. The fresh cheese counter has gone. Most of the staff have gone ! Just a couple of attended checkouts left,  sometimes just the one with people waiting quietly inline But most people are herded into the payment coral and wait just as long to do a redundant cashiers job. unload your own shopping, place your bag in the right position so that it can be weighed and the quietly pick each item you are about to purchase , look for the barcode and pass the item across the scanner. Then put item in shopping bag.  What could be easier or more efficient ? If something goes wrong or you are trying purchase alcohol, just look round nervously, not wanting to make a fuss. If nothing happens start waving to the overworked member of staff in a sainsburys uniform  running up and down looking after a few dozen self service checkouts Don't forget to take your receipt (piece of paper that will be screwed up and discarded discreetly  shortly afterwards )  It's essential to present your receipt in order to escape the coral. There's nothing pleasant about Sainsburys any more. ! Why do I go there? Because I can get the whole thing over with and not get a parking ticket !! And NO !   I'm 77 completely knackered and am not going to get a bike

    • We do not go there anymore, it used to be a pleasant experience, but now shoppers are made to feel like criminals and the prices are not great. The till receipt gates to stop us nicking stuff do not work half the time - I would rather shop somewhere that makes me feel welcome. We also want to support our local independents, so we are trying to eat cheaper using less costly ingredients and buy local - it's a good way for us also to lose some weight! Veg and pulses.....and less booze 😞
    • Has seemed really empty over the past few weeks, with hardly anyone in the store on Thursday lunchtime, have I missed something or are people shopping somewhere else?
