Just my cup of tea John- I visit YP which I do hope he doesn't mind-I don't talk because I don't think I am allowed -I believe he talks of a certain Clint too if I am correct x
Thank you kind Sir-Problem is I don't seem to have a google -and I can't really disturb the office person at the moment who deals with such matters -But Thank you again x
I had to laugh at this. Dinnerladies got me through the pandemic and I watched it on a loop when everyone else had gone to bed. Amazing writing. My particular favourite is when Bren is accused of being pregnant. " Not unless sperm can get through a dash window". Bloody priceless. Sending very best wishes for a speedy recovery. Alison
Haha, I'd forgotten her name. Great character. Her body language was so funny. Victoria Wood was so good at one-liners. I sometimes listen to Barry and Freda just to hear certain lines - "Beat me on the bottom with the Woman's weekly" was my favourite but so many funny lines in that song.
After Jean gives Barry the heave ho..."Non stop sexual pestering, sometimes you just want to stay in bed and pick your feet." One of my most favorite shows. Feel better John. Barb
I like the scene where one of the workers is trying to get a cup of tea and being ignored , he finally says give me a tea bag I will suck it on the way home , makes me laugh every time .
He is Bernard Wrigley, very funny man and concertina player . He regularly guested at our folk club in Billingham during the 1970’s . We knew the folk club would be full when he was on and a great night had by all , plus he was a genuinely nice bloke .
Big fan of Victoria Wood here, was lucky enough to see her live twice; great story about being stuck in a lift in the maternity hospital and by the time she got rescued she'd knitted a matinee coat and two pairs of bootees (or along those lines). I never watched Dinner Ladies, might give it a go :)

ReplyDeleteClint is my silver companion - a six year old Hyundai i20. Of course you are welcome over at my blog flis. I am puzzled why you think otherwise.

The constipation line was a throwaway nothing could have beaten Clint
DeleteTinned food with no labels - a bit Russian roulettey. Some great lines! xx
ReplyDeleteFunny the lines just keep being remembered

ReplyDeleteThat’s my second fav line
DeleteMy mum who had MND, got so much pleasure from this series, Petula Gordeno, wrapped in a disgusting blanket, letting them go at every step.
DeleteLol sublime ….

ReplyDeleteDinnerladies is new to me. The 1-liners are priceless. We all need to laugh more and this does the trick.
ReplyDeleteTooo funny abd theis show is new to me, too.
ReplyDeleteWonder if it's on any of the streaming channels?
Hugs!
Loved that show.
ReplyDeleteWe're just rewatching it now, I bought the DVD set years ago. It never grows old. That IS a great line. Every actor in it is a star!
ReplyDeleteThe very pregnant pause was perfect timing.
