Old Jokes Home

During a recent bitter polemic between VP of Shiraz Socialist and my good self:

"pure comedy gold, pure comedy gold.

It's official. We are the new abbott and costello. You're Diane 'cos you share the same watered down reformism, and I'm Elvis 'cos I also have a punchable face."

I had to blog about this 'cos apart from having the annoying habit of liking to laugh at my own jokes . . . hence the punchable face, I also suddenly realised that with VP being a young 'un he probably hasn't heard of Abbot and Costello. (Click on the link VP.)

He probably thinks comedy started with Newman and Baddiel. It would explain a lot . . .

I thought Volty was at least 55 and really Jim Denham's girlfriend. Then again I thought Will was an elderly lady who makes jam and keeps poodles but has a fantasy life on the blogs:-)

Stroppy seems to thing the hinterweb is much more 'exotic' than it really is. Jam? Poodles? Sure, there are eccentrics around--hello Paddy the Puritan--but speaking personally, two or three cats is sufficient.

I have a vivid, some would say slightly disturbed , imagination .

re paddy, I could think of other descriptions . Eccentric sounds quite endearing.
