They didn't in those days. It was a Jasper Carrot parody sketch, not produced for TV.......but it was so popular that it's gone into folklore. A bit like Max Bygraves never saying "I wanna tell you a story."

You would have to be very careful what you say in comedy nowadays, especially if it was to a big audience. There’s still room for some great comedy and there’s always old ones to fall back on, if you can find it

nothing wrong with that. When I first worked for Siemens in the late 90's we actually had a sizeable office in Staines and it was de rigeur to tell any new girls on the switchboard to answer with 'Siemens Staines, how may I help you?'

Many years ago I and a colleague were on a training course at a hotel in north London. We travelled in his company Maestro complete with some Company logos. On the second day some lowlife wandered into the hotel through the back doors that were open due to so refurb work, went up a staircase and kicked in a few doors. On of which was the room my colleague had been allocated. Being a cautious person he had hidden the car keys in his washbag. The door kicker immediately found them,complete with corporate branded key fob. The car was parked outside on the road - the carpark was given over to the building work. Reprobate was smart and spotted the connection, opened the car and drove off, watched by staff who reported the incident to the police. Some days later the police made contact to say they apprehended the thief as he was attempting to throw away the keys for the car. Colleague lost some expensive driving gloves, sunglasses and a few other things that he could not prove were his when the thief claimed ownership. Taken to court he was charged with receiving stolen goods. At which point he said he could not possibly have received them as he had stolen them. Let off with a small fine that, reportedly, he paid peeling some large notes from a wad in his back pocket. Less than the value of the personal property. It seems the law has long been just a game. |

That is the theory as presented. Does it REALLY stand up to logical consideration? If it does and the vaccine becomes as intimated, an annual development battle, then can we expect all non-essential activities to be banned for at least the next decade? I think the greater risk of having an accident is that you might well end up in Hospital somewhere, possibly far from "home", where , like Colonel Tom, infections can be readily obtained. A few weeks ago a lad was stabbed in Leicester near his home. For treatment the medical services took him to Nottingham. 30 odd miles away. Presumably they had their reasons but one has to wonder about such a decision and the rationale behind it. |

I am too young to remember “The Navy Lark”, instead I decided to live it!
Double entendre’s, black humour and generally taking the “P”out of each other is what often got us through. If someone was being nice to you, then was the time to worry, hence the phrase, “beware the pat on the back, it is just the recce for the knife!” |

Yes indeed and that was the reason for my concern. However I looked on his profile and it shows activity (ie he logged in) on his account most recently here at 00:51(am) on the 8/2/21 so not so scary. It is just a bit unlike Gerard to have nothing to say for so long.(from 29th to now, particularly in the puzzles threat.) Very worrying. |

Sorry gang. I sent Gerard a PM at the weekend to check that he was OK and got a reply to he was fine, so have to assume that he's just feeling a bit quiet at the moment.
