Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Sounds like a very evil laugh Phil... is there something you're not telling us?

I can't tell you!

There appears to be something fighting to get out of my stomach...mind you, I always look like that ;-)


message 257: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments YEAH ! Let me know when it pops out ! That's the best bit !
Of course I'll try and keep you alive as much as I can afterwards :)

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments You'll notice that I've changed the thread title. Still the same barely controlled lunacy - just a slightly different package.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Not Grannys who ARE Ducks - that would be a kind of surreal Jerry Springer show...

Well, they call everyone 'duck' around my neck of the woods, including grannies.

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments We'll be getting a lot of this sort of thing as we get near to Christmas, so here's a modest proposal - http://philwhiteland.blogspot.com/201...

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Sounds good to me, Phil!


message 263: by Philip (new)

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments My mum had a saying (which you can see more about if you 'Look Inside' Crutches For Ducks) which was "Oh, I know him/her, his/her mother used to chew bread for our ducks"

It's this sort of thing that's made me what I am today ;-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments What exactly are you today Philip...? Its hard to see under that cloak.


message 265: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments He's got an alien growing inside Gingerlily, he's just fessed up to it !


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Oh dear. Maybe we should all move to a safer thread. I don't want to be chased by aliens.


message 267: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Nah I think it's well cool. And don't worry, I got a big supply of guns and ammos in my bags. I'M GONNA KICK ASS - Ripley is going to be nothing compared to me ! Tuzki Bunny Emoticon

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments Lorraine the pretty flower ♥ wrote: "HAHAHAHA ! now that's gross !"

Actually, there's definitely something moving in there. My stomach seems to be convulsing. Oh my God,what's happening, it's split open! Oh, Hello Sooty, what are you doing there?


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Throwing pizza probably.

It could have been worse. It could have been Cully from Midsomer Murders!


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Or Dustin the Turkey!

You see this is where my lack of knowledge of contemporary culture lets me down! Who??


message 275: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I'm lost too, Phil.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Ireland entry in the Eurovision 2008. Also a well known irish TV personality...

It's not like Muffin the Mule, is it? I believe that's still a criminal offence ;-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments No, he might criminally bad musically, but not actually illegal!


message 279: by Philip (new)

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments Do you remember Lenny the Lion? It only occurred to me a few years ago that he was gay.


message 280: by Philip (new)

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments Well, not necessarily gay of course. Camp certainly.


message 281: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Camp as a row of tents.


message 282: by Philip (new)

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments Ignite wrote: "Camp as a row of tents."

Apparently, but it never occurred to me at the time. I just found him irritating. I hasten to add that I don't find 'camp' irritating per se, just in the case of Lenny the Lion.


message 283: by Philip (new)

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments I've done it now! I'm getting adverts for gay sci-fi books appearing on the side of my page.


message 284: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Hell yes, Lenny the Lion WAS irritating!

Now I'm afraid to google Lenny the Lion to find out who he is...

You've never heard of Lenny the Lion? You've obviously led a sheltered life, Patti. You'll be telling me you've never heard of Arthur Worsley next.


message 287: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Who is Arthur Worsley?


message 288: by Philip (new)

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments Patti (Totally Bananas) wrote: "Who is Arthur Worsley?"

Told you! Arguably the best ventriloquist ever. He never spoke but his dummy used to hector him relentlessly "Look at me son, when I'm talking to you" and so on.


message 289: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments She must be younger than us Philip!

Everybody's younger than me these days. Particularly policemen.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I thought It could have been culture clash but Dave's not heard of him before either.

Guess it is that you are old. ;)

It would be foolish to deny it, Patti. All I can say is that you missed a treat.


message 293: by Philip (new)

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments Come on, there's got to be somebody else out there who remembers Arthur Worsley apart from me.


message 294: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Sorry Philip, I don't :(


message 295: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I think Ignite does. And she's only 23!

Cheque in post Patti!


message 298: by Philip (new)

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments While I was scrabbling round for that clip in You Tube, I came across some other favourite vents. there, such as Saveen (who had a real talking dog) and the wonderfully anarchic Neville King. By the way, apparently Terry Hall (of Lenny the Lion fame) died in 2007 having suffered from Alzheimer's in his latter years.


message 299: by Philip (new)

Philip Whiteland | 3394 comments Ok, so it's just me with the thing about ventriloquism then! I suppose it makes a change from talking out of where I'm usually accused of talking out of ;-)
