Dinner party

Holly Flood would have been funnier, even I were the only person to understand such linguistic tomfoolery

CiB

Victoria Coren-Mitchell
Amanda Goodman off of Look East
Me grandpa, the one who died a few years ago
Racqel Welch in her pomp
Claudia Winkelman in her swimming cossy
Milton Jones
Jacqui Oatley

Lord save us from long dead commies or even a table full of blokes. There aren't many situations that aren't improved by the presence of a woman or two.

I think I'd want to crash CiB's bash. Imagine the state of Winkelman's eye make up when she gets wet.

Didn't see this.

You my friend are a bloody fine gent. I know Carl. We worked with him in the 90's when I lived in Detroit and I've had the pleasure of playing records next to him. He is a fine, fine man. What's your fave release?

No idea on a particular release but his tunes pretty much always appeal, got quite a few on Spotify playlists, a couple of CDs, and saw him at The Big Chill a few years back which 'worked'.

As we're nearing the festive season (though not feeling very festive), I have revised my list:

Tommy Cooper
Robin Williams
Alexi Sayle
Victor Borge
Lee Evans and
Billy Connolly

5 comedians and Alexei Sayle? :?

Just because you don't agree with his politics, doesn't mean he can't be funny. Even Kenny Everett was occasionally funny.

You're a miserable old goat Bally.

Nowt to do with his politics. Ben Elton could be funny in his anti Thatch ranting. Sayle just aint funny.

joelsim

For once I agree with BM.

I can't appreciate Sayle as a comedian in the same way I can't appreciate Russell Howard. I think there's a distinct lack of humour, quality, insight or intelligence in either.

Why no Mr Ed? As purveyor of this thread, i'll allow you eight if you include him and the hugely unnoticed and underrated Stoaty McStoat; the hero weasel from Montrose.
[Jeezo mon, Google spell checker doesn't even recognise 'McStoat' :roll: ]

Do you think The cat and Flipper would see eye to eye?

This is the version I always think of. Is Bally old enough to be thinking of the original?

I'd have my Mum and Dad back from the grave. There's so much I'd now like to be able to ask them, and my Mum never got to see my wife or our two boys

Ok, Ed's in. And for crissakes man, Stoaty is frae Midlothian, no Montrose (or Motherwell). How many times do you need to be told?

Never mind that, is Stoaty McStoat of Monreith in or not?
