Oi! Skip! Yer Must Be 'Wheely' Loaded!

Surprising what you see blocking the road these days!

I had my camera on board a minibus I was driving this afternoon and shot this unusual scene LOL The incident delayed me for about 10 minutes.

The poor bloke was trying to operate the hydraulics to get a very heavy skip on board and his front wheels were lifted clean off the ground.  The whole thing almost tipped over backwards into the front of a house.  In the end he just 'went for it' and as the centre of gravity of the load on the fulcrum of the rear wheels  passed towards the lorry the front wheels crashed to the ground, he jumped in and drove off.

Motto - always have camera with you!

The Two Ronnies - Egyptian Hieroglyphics

I expect most people will remember the 1980's TV series on BBC television called The Two Ronnies featuring Ronnie Corbett and the late Ronnie Barker.

One of my favourites is about Egyptian Hieroglyphics featuring Ronnie Barker.
Hope you like.  I'll post a few more of these.

THE BOOKSHOP SKETCH

I found this sketch very recently by two of my favourite characters, John Cleese and Connie Booth, co-authors of that wonderful and timeless TV series of 12 episodes of Fawlty Towers.

The Bookshop was originally shown as a Monty Python sketch.
I think it is hilarious - enjoy.

Anyone Found A Missing French Horn?

This post is inspired straight from Mimi's Sunday Roast, just published. Mimi plays the French Horn and when I was putting the roast together I immediately thought of Michael Flanders and Donald Swann, two British comedians and popular performers.

The British duo Flanders and Swann were the actor and singer Michael Flanders (1922–1975) and the composer, pianist and linguist Donald Swann (1923–1994), who collaborated in writing and performing comic songs.

Between 1956 and 1967 they performed some of their songs in their long-running two-man revues At the Drop of a Hat and At the Drop of Another Hat. Both revues were recorded in concert along with several studio-based tracks.

My favourite sketch is a skit on Mozart's Horn Concerto No 3 where Michael, accompanied by Donald on the piano, sings a woeful tale of his missing French Horn, no doubt much to the relief of the neigbours.

Michael contracted polio in 1943 and was confined to his wheelchair and so both men were seated during their many performances. Sadly both men are no longer with us.

So here it is - I think it is very funny.
