I suppose that one or two of you might have sussed that I actually put up the link as it's better to hear the line as a joke, delivered by Coogan, rather than read it as an unfunny crudity in a post; context is all.........LOL

2 - She'd have to be built like a brick outhouse to "throw" a Mellotron anywhere.

Sorry, just me being pedantic

There used to be - and presumably still is - a plaque on the pedestrian walkway on both sides of the bridge giving the Samaritans phone # - maybe the Mellotron Appreciation Society should rent space there, too...........Wink
 
I particularly liked the bit in "Saxondale" where, when his daughter's BF patronises his own GF by praising her wonderful personality (which, as we all know, is code for "she's fat"), he replies with a wonderfully crude, yet touching, & untrumpable response............I daren't quote it in full here...Embarrassed

Yeah, the Mellotron story was great. I also liked the bit when the boyfriend thought he was getting the Richie Blackmore guitar as a gift, but ended up getting a wooden cheetah.

It's just getting better. The Kashmir eulogy was classic (although the wife would have been royally pissed off, since you do NOT make jokes about The Best Song in the World in her presence).

And, yeah "Wasps are b.astards" was excellent.

I have an irrational fear of wasps. If one flys in the room I practically hyperventilate. Dunno why, I've been stung before a few times, but I was hardly traumatised by the experience...

Just thought I'd share that with you...

I forgot to mention "wasps are b*****ds". Very funny bit, and strangely appropriate as I had to pay someone to remove a wasps nest from under my house yesterday (not Steve Coogan).

Good episode tonight, this is turning into an excellent series. Some good "one legged" jokes, a mention of Ian Anderson's flute and cod piece and it ended with Hocus Pocus!
