Ohhh Errrrr


" oh I do look rather surprised don't I ?" said the woman with the clipboard pointing at her identify badly photo " I was in the photo booth having it taken and someone poked a chocolate eclair through the curtains" 
So shared Victoria Wood in one of her most funny human moment routines.
I was reminded of this comic aside after I had presented the kitchen fitters with a large box of eclairs yesterday. After I had handed them over to effusive thanks and only after the apprentice thought I was out of earshot, there was much ribald laughter from the fitters as they shared a dirty joke which probably featured penis length!

  4. May I suggest looking at this from a perspective different to that of a penis holder.

    The eclair may symbolize the receptacle, the whipped cream a result obvious to anyone with carnal knowledge; as to chocolate ... well, that'd be the icing upon consummation.

  17. These must be the most well looked after kitchen fitters ever. 😉

    The last time I heard of tradesmen being so well catered for was when my mum and dad had their living room redecorated. The decoraters got bacon butties mid morning, sandwiches for lunch and homemade scones with jam mid afternoon.... no wonder it took so long to get the room finished!!
