For Gawd's sake Marlene. I might be able to con people into buying cars. I might be able to convince 'em that you conceived and gave birth in seven days flat but how the hell am I gonna persuade 'em that my grandad was Louis Armstrong!!

Grandad: Oh, do us a favour Rodney. Only a month ago you was in love with that skinny bird from the dry-cleaners. Now along comes another little girl and you're away again!
Rodney: Marguerite from the dry cleaners was just an infatuation! This is the real thing! And Irene is not a little girl - she happens to be a woman!
Del: Oh a woman, eh? He's fell in love with someone who's got the vote this time! How old is she, 20?
Rodney: No. She's about - 30.
Del: What d'you mean about 30? How old is he exactly?
Rodney: 40.
Del and Grandad: 40? 40?
Del: You're not being serious are you?
Rodney: Well what's wrong with going out with a woman of 40?
Del: Nothing, nothing at all, if you happen to be 50! Blimey she's even too old for me!
Grandad: Well I'd have to think twice!

One from Reginald Perrin.

Uncle Jimmy from the Army: "So what's Brazil like in the winter?"

Martin Welbourne (in disguise as Reggy and never been to South America but claims to have lived there for a few years so has to think on his feet): "Chile!"

Brilliant. :clap:
 




A man ahead of his time (Reggie Perrin)

"Eleven minutes late, staff difficulties, Hampton Wick." "Eleven minutes late, signal failure at Vauxhall." "Eleven minutes late, staff shortages, Nine Elms." "Eleven minutes late, derailment of container truck, Raynes Park." "Eleven minutes late, seasonal manpower shortages, Clapham Junction." "Eleven minutes late, defective junction box, New Malden." "Eleven minutes late, overheated axle at Berrylands." "Eleven minutes late, defective axle at Wandsworth." "Eleven minutes late, somebody had stolen the lines at Surbiton."

Some things remain timeless as far as Southern trains are concerned.

"Hey Nursey am I pleased to see you or is this a canoe in my pocket?"

"Hey Bridesmaid like the beard gives me something to hang on to."

"Jane 'bury me in a Y shaped coffin' Harrington? Goes like a privy door when the plague's in town."

"Baldrick go out into the street and announce Blackadder's house is up for sale. Percy go out into the street."

"You have a woman's purse. I bet that purse has never been filled with shipwrecked seamen being tossed about."

Blackadder: "I'm having trouble with my manservant."
Doctor: "Well pop it out onto the table and we'll have a look."

Can't go wrong with Blackadder 2

Classic from Hancock's half hour

I thought my mother was a bad cook, but at least her gravy used to move around a bit.

Reminded by the TOTP thread....

Worth a bounce for this gem just popped up on telly in a repeat of Yes Prime Minister

Jim Hacker: Don't tell me about the Press. I know *exactly* who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by the people who think they run the country. The Guardian is read by people who think they *ought* to run the country. The Times is read by the people who actually *do* run the country. The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country. The Financial Times is read by people who *own* the country. The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by *another* country. The Daily Telegraph is read by the people who think it is.

Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?

Bernard Woolley: Sun readers don't care *who* runs the country - as long as she's got big tits.

[h=2]The Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurler of Bexhill-on-Sea[/h]Henry: Here, Minnie, hold my elephant gun.
Minnie: I don't know what you brought it for. You can't shoot elephants in England, you know.
Henry: And why not?
Minnie: They're out of season.
Henry: Does this mean we shall have to have pelican for dinner again?
Minnie: I fear so, I fear so.
Henry: Then I'll risk it. I'll shoot an elephant out of season.
