Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

I loved the Carry-On films; typical British saucy humour. I'm surprised the EU hasn't tried to ban them like the saucy postcards.

There were some great imaginitive names, such as W.C Boggs and Sons in carry-On at your convenience and Citizen Camenbert [the big cheese in revolutionary France] in Don't lose your head

 

Carry on Cleo had the best line in British cinematic history, as Julius Caesar (Kenneth Williams) was trying to escape his assassins: "Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!"

 

What a story this is: http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/10622239.Albion_striker_delivers_baby/?ref=twtrec

 

What a memory that is...delivering his own baby. Mind you, most mothers would rather not be there at the time

 

I want to cry now

 

Charles Green has left already.

 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...l-Lambert-alienating-players-Aston-Villa.html Bent seems happy.

 

Hope Powell sacked. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23768854

Put a man in charge.

 

I have little sympathy with him. He whinged to get a move from a then high-ebb Sunderland to Aston Villa who were lower, not long after arriving at Sunderland. I just don't like the guy to be honest. Surprising how much he is criticising considering he's only on a loan spell. Unless of course there is an option to buy him with no interference from Villa.

 

Meh, Lambert's trying to get Villa out of the financial black hole that O'Neill (and Houllier) had left them in, so I don't blame him for wanting to shift players like Bent.

 

OK for those who have never seen it or heard of Ealing comedies, The Lavender Hill Mob is on C4 at 13:35. I highly recomend you watch it!

 

Ouch..! Nearly 7lb baby and no painkillers, delivered in the bathroom. That's one deaf baby.

 

Or on 4OD later, of course. Same recommendation.

 

Dejan on Twitter:

"Tomorrow from 3 pm till 5 pm me and my teammate @VictorWanyama will be hanging out with You in the Saint's Megastore at the stadium. See ya!"

 

I haven't seen Lucky Jim, so recording it now!

 

I wasn't a great fan of the Carry-Ons, although there's no doubt they were funny in parts. Carry On Sergeant was excellent throughout and was universally praised, I believe. Others I enjoyed were Carry On Constable, Cowboy, Up the Khyber, Steaming, and I couple more I can't remember. Later ones were awful, IMO.

One particular favourite line comes from Carry On Up The Khyber [Pass], when Kenneth Williams as The Khasi of Kalabar welcomes Sid James as Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond. And here it is too:

Never liked Carry on films.

 

See that's better.
