Off Topic Creepy clowns

Who's you favourite clown Ern?

Charlie Caroley?

Mine's Bingo the clown.

 

Indeed. I must say I was proper scared by Quatermass and the Pit (the Andrew Keir version). Watched it a few years back and thought how rubbish Keir was.

 

Not a big appreciator of the ancient art of clowning to be honest.

I quite like the red nosed **** in the joke about a clown who extracts the Michael out of the poor tongue tied patsy, who gets his friend, famed for great wit and repartee, to upstage said clown.

But only 'cos the curly haired, long shoed half-wit is made to look a right tool in the end.

 

I love clowns.

 

Platonically or, you know, to satisfy an urge?

 

Did you mean Charlie Cairoli? Saw him at Blackpool Tower Circus when I was a kid. Always called him Carioli.
Despite the audience howling with laughter I found him deeply unfunny, something I still feel regarding all clowns.
Though I do find Patty amusing.

 

I knew the spelling was probably way off but couldn't be arsed to google it.

That'll learn me.

 

As I said I always got it wrong, and I had seen him more than once.

Could have been a clown going by the name you said, but presumed you meant him.

Best clown ever

 

Hull Batman's on it:

I think parents probably are, as a result of the ever-increasing drive to keep us all compliant, driven by the right-wing media that the Establishment are in hock to.

 

Boxo had a residency at the Sand-le-Mere caravan park clubhouse.

Just sayin'.

 

I think it is more of a case of the soft, left politically correct, left wing liberal elite in the BBC and the .classrooms.
All this started back in the swinging sixties and has increasingly got worse.
More alternative/contrary narratives.

 

Towards the end of my rugby-playing days I used to turn out for Hull Ionians' veterans team, the Jaguars. There was one lad who used to play, called Craig, and he was a bit of a character who tried to play the joker but not always with success, and people probably laughed at him more than with him.

Anyway, the local RU sides always used to have their lineups listed in the Hull Daily Mail on a Friday night, and every week, this Craig lad would be listed with a famous clown's name, e.g. C Cairoli, JW Gacey, J Grimaldi and so on. Best one ever was 'TG Soprendo'

 

There has unquestionably been an over-reaction by some sections of the liberal left wing PC community, but the Establishment media knew that would be the result, rubbed their hands, and continued to do it.

Utter bastards. Come the day

 

Never The Tenfoot Tiger? What has happened to him BTW? Is he OK?

 

[Factoid]:
Staropramen Brewery's history begins in 1869 when shares for a "Joint Stock Brewery in Smíchov" were offered for sale. The brewery building was completed and beer first brewed in 1871. The Ostravar Brewery opened in 1898 followed a year later by the Braníkbrewery;[1] these two breweries would later merge with Staropramen.

Due to competition from other Prague breweries, the brand name Staropramen, which translates as “old spring" (water source), was registered in 1911. After the First World War, all three breweries saw a period of sustained growth, and by the 1930s Staropramen was the largest brewery in Czechoslovakia.[2] With socialism after the Second World War, all Czechoslovakian breweries were nationalised, including Staropramen. After socialism ended in 1989, the brewery, along with the Braník and Měšťan breweries, became in 1992 part of the Prague Breweries group (Pražské Pivovary), which by 1996 came under control of the Bass company.[3] Bass brought Ostravar into the group in 1997, then in 2000 sold its brewing operations to Interbrew, which merged with AmBev in 2004 to form Inbev. Staropramen has seen steady growth and is currently the Czech Republic's second largest beer producer with a 15.3% share of the domestic market.[4]

In mid October 2009, private equity fund CVC Capital Partners bought all of Anheuser–Busch InBev's holdings in Central Europe (including Staropramen) for €2.23 billion. They renamed the operations StarBev.[5] In April 2012, Molson Coors bought StarBev.[6]

 

Haha, no, a different guy. Tenfoot was a footballer, and a pretty good one at that, actually.

Dunno if he still posts on CI, cos I don't go on myself any more, but he's on Facebook, doing everybody's ****ing head in, telling us all how it should be done.

And when I say 'it', I mean ****ing everything!
