You all know Charlie Stiles, the local funeral director who is Nobby's dad. Well we'd run out of corks for the beer barrels. I phoned Charlie " Hello Charlie, Bernard here, have you got any corks to spare? I need about two dozen"
"Yes" said Charlie " they're £30 apiece" "Well Charlie at that price you can stick 'em up your arse."

My old mate John Leigh from Chorley was a great man.
We worked together years ago and one day we were talking about the Wheeltappers Show, in the office.
I told him how much I like BM and Colin Crompton and all the other guys on that show.
John told me that he was good friends with BM and that if I ever wanted to go to the Embassy in Manchester, to let him know.
I went over to visit the in-laws in Bolton a few years later and John got me some tickets to see BM at the club.
I never laughed as much as I did that night seeing BM.
BM literally took the piss out of everyone - Irish, Pakistani, Indian, American,
Germans, they were all fair game.

The Royals have started to visit here : Her Majesty hasn't as yet but Chuck was here in the mid-1990's.
The Irish should have made it so he never wanted to come back. The Royals are like relatives, once they visit they tend to stay around way too long .... It seems to me the last time they came they made themselves way too cozy.

I don't know if this is a reflection on him or us !
Hopefully there were a few in the roadside crowd sizing him up for one of those plugs you guys mentioned in the thread.
