Re: Past Comedians
Hi All.
Such is the dearth of comedies on TV these days we play our own DVDs we have stacks, Dave Allen Fools and Horses, Victor Meldrew,
Absolutely Fabulous, Open all Hours, the old and the new one, Billy Connolly's tour of Scotland though at times a bit risque he's a good laugh, plus loads more, Last night we watched for the umpteenth time, "Cold Comfort Farm" if you haven't seen it get it out from the video shop
" I saw something Nasty in the woodshed"
Cheers Des

For the woodshed Des I find a spray with a strong disinfectant will get rid of mot of the nasties, unless of course the mother in law has found her way in there.

Re: Past Comedians
#5..Ref. Peter Kay, he was the one in a car accident wasn't he. If so met him on a flight coming down from Karatha to perth about and hour and a half. He was with a party of entertainers and must have been up in Karatha doing a show. I was on my swing off a ship based in Dampier. He came up the aisle to go to the toilets and I reconised him and unthinking grabbed his sleeve as he went passed and said what the heck are you doing here, he replied stuttering on purpose Im Im Im just just just going going to to to the the toilet. Started ad libbing straight away to a complete stranger. Don't think anyone else on the plane reconized him. JS
