Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Come on you Tory Muppets time to tip out and deal shares.

I always remember going to Wembley charity shield donkey years ago...Liv-ManU..(0-0 I think)...the Mancunian supporters had a great big banner down their end saying :" I'd rather be a muppet than a Scouse"....it was all in great spirit....

Which one do you look like Stan ?

On the subject of Muppets, Albert Einstein said that "the measure of intelligence is the ability to change". So what does that make those that post the same twaddle day after day?

Leave H/S out of it.

That wouldn't be Fred your referring to ?

Pot and kettle alert!

RF at least the Man U supporters recognised that scousers are not muppets; that is reserved for those east and northeast of Runcorn. :)
Nice close up of Fred Jimmy. That's Stan and 'is mates at the club. I believe Stan is the dickhead at the front left.
Sorry, it is a slow day...

Stan is a dickhead everywhere

On the subject of scousers, did anyone catch the replay of an audience with Ken Dodd over the Christmas? He was absolutely brilliant.
One misconception is that he invented the place Knotty Ash, along with the diddy men etc. In fact he came from Knotty Ash. His brother was the local coal merchant. As a teenager, I first saw the Beatles play at Knotty Ash village hall. I dont if it is still there. It was across the road from Alder Hey Hospital.

Ken Dodd?

He is/was amazing. :-)

We watched the majority of the latter part of it.

The man is a true comic genius. His memory and ability to recall, his delivery, his 'staying power' are utterly phenominal! He had an excellent singing voice too. His ventriloquism is so atrociously bad, he could get the audience totally cracked up with laughter from the performance of it.

If you go to one of his live shows, which we did about a decade or so ago, you get a very strong feeling you aren't going to get out of the theatre before at least 1am - and that if you do decide to leave, you are going to have to go well before he does!),

Like Bob Monkhouse, he must keep a massive store of material and have access to a very big 'library' of jokes and humorous work.

Doddy is famous for beating the 'Tax Man' in a high court 'trial by jury' and from it one could deduce and suppose how he used to take a lot of his theatre fees 'in cash'. Since the jury was comprised of Liverpudlians then the trial result at the time was a laugh in itself.

He is getting and very old now (b. 8.11.1927) and still does a few shows a year, I believe.

The TV show to which we are referring showed many of his theatrical peers in the audience and lots of them have now popped their clogs. I found it fascinating to see how today, he has outlasted so many of them.

I think, that when he dies, his funeral will be massive.

HMRC will have a large contingent there

At his trial for tax evasion, the judge asked what it was like to have a hundred thousand pounds in a suit case to which he replied "the notes are very light M'Lord".
His lawyer was asked how Dodd could account for the money to which the lawyer replied "accountants can be very good comedians but comedians make very bad accountants". He was acquited by the jury.

If only Lester Piggott could have told a few jokes , and the court was at Newmarket

can't remember which football manager also escaped with some insane excuse as to why he had a swiss bank a/c in his dog's name

Was it Redknap . Harry .

Stan who did you vote for.
