Fat Bast**d…..

Funny thing is, I always thought that Porridge was set in a real disuded prison facility. When I found it was a set I was prettty amazed…..

I’m not slagging off Morcambe and Wise. they were good. It just seems that until recently, they got most of the limelight whilst the Two Ronnies were overlloked. The balance seems to have been redressed somewhat.

“Are you or have you ever been a practicing homosexual?”

“Wot with these feet??”

A classic line from porridge…..

Sad news….

A very good comedy actor. Could play several completely different characters. Something other greats such as Eddie Murphy would do in later years.

Many may consider Morcambe & Wise as the best comedy duo in British comedy. However, for my money, the Two Ronnies were better. Why?

Because you had two good comedy actors who could operate indepenently as well as together.

For me, Porridge was Barkers best work. Said so himself. Still makes me laff. Open all hours was not bad at all either…

[QUOTE]The man who invented cigarettes should be put up against a firing squad

Do you mean the commercial cigs or people such as native American Indians who rooled up tobacco leaves, lit them, smoked them and thus invented the first “cigars”??

The SOB who discovered the Spice Girls……

I sort of know what you mean, laviticus. I used to do door-to-door sales and telesales. Whenever I spoke with an old (er) person, they’d keep me on the doorstep / telephone for ages. You had to move on to the next house but was sometimes difficult to break away, esp when they told you they’d not spoken to ANYONE in over a month, and all you were doing was trying to flog doulble glazing or security alarms.

V.sad.
