    Brilliant comedy never dies; it just comes back and reminds us of the crap we're being subjected to at present.

    Remember listening to the audio tape of the "fast show" on a flight years ago. Was literally crying with laughter when the stewardess came over and tried to explain that there was nothing to worry about flying is very safe!. Then again, I was very very drunk 🥴 😉

    Had an acquaintance once who always started a sentence enunciating clearly then receded into a morass of quiet unintelligible words. However….I think it was deliberate due to the line he was in, because listeners pretend to understand and go along, nodding Yes, Yes, but worse, probably agreeing to something they wouldn’t have, if they had understood him.
    Not that I did. Always asked for repetition, Sorry…what ??

    Apart from the poignancy of his ‘lost love’ monologue? There are rare few such examples of Paul Whitehouse’ acting ability as this. The man is a genius thesp and it’s about time he gets the credit for it. In awe. ‘Bonawe’. See whit a did therr?
