      I got banned from a comedy club in Edinburgh
      for being racist.
      All I did was walk onstage and say "thank you ladies and gentlemen it's great to be back in England".
      Everybody else in Scotland gets the joke.

      +Alan Bland If you're wondering like a lot of people were the "Arsenal" came from, this from Wiki... Some catch phrases developed from earlier sketches. When Eric played an incompetent 'Mr Memory', unable to remember anything without unsubtle prompting from Ernie, Ernie prompted Eric with "Arsenal!" disguised very badly as a cough. Later, whenever Ernie, or anyone else, coughed or sneezed, Eric would shout "Arsenal!"

    LOL! Love the questions... Even though they are supposed to be general knowledge questions, they are all themed towards their level of education! 😅 Ernie, being Professor of English literature is asked questions all relating to literature, Eric on the other hand, being educated at Infants School - his first question is about a nursery rhyme! 😂
