choice incomprehensible posts from britisher threads

Mackenzie's "perhaps they singled us out because we were a Thatcherite paper and it was a socialist city" might tell you more about the reasoning behind him running the story in the way he did than it does about Liverpudlians' reaction to it

have no idea what's supposed to be incomprehensible abt that NV post

(i am not a britisher and don't know what thread it's from)

probably only makes sense if you know about British newspapers and a bit about British politics in the 80s but you cd pull a ton of choice posts from almost any thread on the board and make the same point

It becomes incomprehensible in that it was posted as a truth bomb. Like, I can parse the sentence well enough! But it's interesting to me that someone felt that it concisely stated a righteous truth or whatever.

truth bomb thread should have been locked after the first post

i wdn't make any claims for it as a truth bomb, true

his supernaissance + noodles/fizzles/deems/young blood windsor davies/grand puba malty/shouty garda/mencap/sgt biscuits and his fallen friend/present company (perhaps) = let's fucking march on british/irish cultural discourse right now, mods in the back of us

So, he has responded to getting the OBE for services to entertainment, and repeating the mantra "I'll sign you mate" on X-Factor by closing his label to "spend more time with his family"

.. or is this one way of not responding to Christopher Maloney's phone calls?

can a choice britisher explain plz

I am not a choice Bristisher but I can, I think.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry_On_%28film_series%29

ah, i thought it was more complicated than a quick google. go figure.

It's an *hilarious* reimagining of the x-men cast as portrayed by Carry On film regulars. Or something like that.

lol I wish I had to use Google to find out about Carry On movies.

your whole LIFE is a carry on movie am i right??

Jeez, they really made Destro look like a dark.

DORK! Jesus Christ...

hey, the Carry On movies were mostly great

I think it's something you really had to grow up with maybe.

To really get.

choice incomprehensible comedy styles

Classic tbf

Babs windsor twatting all and sundry from thirty feet with a spang of her pressurised over the shoulder boulder holder guv saucy

ack ack ack

now look here

i guess that's kenneth connor as professor x? miscasting, imho. and poor old joan sims.

yeah, was gonna say whoever drew Joan Sims obv hates her, and it took me forever to work out who the baldy professor guy was supposed to be

Nah thats just cos hes tiny tbh its p spottable

Sorry I know loads about Carry On and shitloads about X-Men, where is Kenneth Connor and who is the guy at the back flexing his muscles?

Oops I mean to say I know shitloads about Carry on and fuck all about X-Men!

guy at back flexing his muscles is called colossus, so yeah, bernie b is the obv choice for that character (wld also give him the chance to do a russian accent)

we think kenneth connor is the bald guy in the wheelchair (aka professor x)

Kenneth Connor is the hairy blue guy on the left isn't he?

nah that's peter butterworth as the beast (again, miscasting imho - kelsey grammar played the character in the movie, which is much closer to the comic bk version)

Always hated Peter Butterworth

Kenneth connor v obv in wheelchair

Balls, looks nothing like him

xpost aww i really like butterworth as the holiday camp owner in carry on camping. he also has an amazing life story:

Before his acting career started, Butterworth served as a lieutenant commander in the Royal Navy during the Second World War.[1] He was captured in the Netherlands in 1940 and later escaped through a tunnel from Dulag luft, near Frankfurt, in June 1941, where he covered 27 miles (43 km) over three days before a member of the Hitler Youth captured him. Afterwards he joked that he could never work with children again. Two other attempts to escape were made during his time there but he never got beyond the campgrounds.

Whilst at Stalag Luft III he met Talbot Rothwell, who later went on to write many of the Carry On films.[2] Rothwell and Butterworth formed a duet and sang in the camp shows, where booing and catcalls covered the sounds of an escape tunnel being dug by other prisoners. Butterworth was one of the vaulters covering for the escapers during the escape portrayed by the book and film The Wooden Horse. Butterworth later auditioned for the film in 1949 but "didn't look convincingly heroic or athletic enough" according to the makers of the film. To compensate for this the director Jack Lee, named the character played by Leo Genn "Peter", after Butterworth.

Having never performed in public before, Butterworth sang a duet with Rothwell, a song which Rothwell called "The Letter Edged In Black". The performance was followed by some comic repartee which, according to his own account, provoked enough boos and hisses to have the desired effect of drowning out the escape party. After the war, Butterworth kept a photo of the concert party line up, something which offered inspiration to him when starting a career in acting.[3]

Also within the same camp as Butterworth and Rothwell were the future actors Rupert Davies, and Stratford Johns and John Casson, who was the son of Lewis Casson and Sybil Thorndyke.[4] All five remained very close friends after the war ended and they all appeared on This Is Your Life when Butterworth was featured in 1975

Looks more like Sylvester McCoy xp

That is EXACTLY what I thought, I even GIS-ed around to see if i could find a picture of Sylveste McCoy with a bald head! It might be that it's supposed to be Kenneth Connor but the artist simply cannot draw Kenneth Connor, what are they teaching kids at art schools these days?

Wow at that Butterworth story

Great life story but terrible actor

who is this american version of david blaine? 'Bizarro'? The guy who supposedly walked on the Thames? My mothers boyfriend made a point to call from Australia to let me know this fool levitated next to a bus and put his finger through a quarter. When he pulled his finger away THE COIN WAS COMPLETELY INTACT. My mom is mad impressed by the guy too. How do you get to your 60's and still believe this stuff is for real???

okay i have no idea what the fuck 'campari g&t' is talking about on this thread: Have You Ever Been Arrested?
