Losing the Plot?

[deleted79651]

I fear that Elaine is losing her marbles. She has just accused me of loitering within tent. She has obviously forgotten that we bought a motorhome at the end of April ...

Was the fun in tents though?

Better that than being uptight. I experience feelings of being a bivouac and a wigwam. The Doctor says I'm too tense ...

I think jokes is a lose term for the pain and groaning they cause

Not at all! My formative years were spent listening to Round The Horne, I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again, The Navy Lark, Al Read, and then listening to I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue, so the puns and 'Dad Jokes' from the likes of Barry Cryer, John Junkin, Spike Milligan, Bary Took, Marty Feldman et al are a delight. Rowan & Martin's Laugh In was a faster, slicker style of humour, but had the advantage of the visual presentation. The 'image' creation of the radio required a different style of writing.

'I say, I say, I say, who was that terrapin I saw you with last night?'

'That was no terrapin, that was my old teacher. She tortoise ...'

Steve, exiting stage left, coat in hand ...

Now there's a throw back down memory lane, the Navy Lark and the likes. Excellent excellent stuff.

Next you'll be quoting Michael Bentines Potty Time

 

[ChrisSue]

Oh such memories. One of our guys at work reckons he joined the Navy on the basis of the Navy Lark. "Left 'and dahn a bit Sir"

 

[Gellyneck]

DON'T PANIC, Elaine! Help is on it's way!

Oh, so many memories!!!!
Radio comedy, still has a lot going for it.
I am still a Goons fan! Oh yes.
And Potty Time still made me chuckle all these years later.
Quality!!

Two of my favourite characters: Julian and Sandy!
And of course Rambling Sid Rumpold, singing about his Bogling Fork.

The Physics Teacher sketch where 'Sir' is at the end of his tether, trying to explain the concept of gravity to Eccles ...
'Eccles, stand up'
Eccles: 'OK, I'm standing up@
Sir: 'Eccles, jump up in the air'
Eccles: 'I jumped up in the air'
Sir: 'What happened?'
Eccles: 'I came back to earth'
Sir: 'WHY did you come back to earth?'
Eccles: 'Because that's where I live ...'
