Benny Hill comedy sketch
Benny Hill was another great UK comedian and his TV shows pulled in millions of viewers.
One of his most famous characters was the Chinese chap who got his r's and l's and d's mixed up resulting in his listeners having great difficulty understanding him, much to his annoyance. In this sketch a Pakistani imigration officer also has difficulty understanding English, particulary when the China Man tries to explain things - hence him saying between his teeth, "Sirry Iriot".
Benny was a bit of an odd ball and was very absent minded. He was a very rich man and left unbanked cheques around. He was not married and 'conned' a lot of people into believing when he died they would be the recipients of large amounts of money. In fact he left them nothing and every penny when to his nephew. I can see him in my mind's eye laughing.

Flash Mob Hallelujah Chorus
I've 'nicked' this fantastic You Tube idea from Ann at her blog Retired and Crazy.
Just imagine the surprise on the faces of these unsuspecting diners LOL.
It would be wonderful to have that experience - one minute eating and drinking and then . . . . boy! What a powerful message. The Messiah is one of my favourites.
A standing ovation to them.
There are a number of great flash mob you tubes available on the web like this one when 300 people froze for 5 minutes and then moved on. Many instances like this happen all over the world LOL.

Dave Allen Funeral Sketches
Here is a video You Tube which amused me. It features one of my favourite comedians, Dave Allen.
Of course! LOL - you've met him here before. This time he treats us to some Irish funeral stories. Enjoy!
Talking of funerals - I have a great book called "The Book Of Heroic Failures" by Stephen Pile of The Not Terribly Good Club Of Great Britain, where success is scorned and failures encouraged with glee. I quote from "The Funeral That Disturbed The Corpse".
Perhaps the most unsuccessful funeral ever held was that of an oriental missionary called Schwartz. The service was held in Deli at the end of the last century and culminated in the congregation singing the favourite hymn of the recently deceased Dr Schwartz. The mourners were surprised during the final verse to hear a loud voice from within the coffin joining in.

Lottery Win
I've won the lottery!
. . . excuse me while I count my money!
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR . . . . . . .
s m i l i n g . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Still counting . . . . . .
Perhaps some long lost relatives will now be starting to crawl out of the woodwork LOL
Well I've added a bit more . . . .
First my comment:
"Just wanted to see if this news boosted my comment tally and my followers! LOL"
Well the experiment has worked. So far I have had a passing Heron fly in, a retired teacher with a lot of smiles visiting several times, a supremo artist/writer/journalist/you name it and she can do wonderfully, a sister, me (several times), a hound dog LOL, a chef/cookbook writer who might be Bonnie in Bonnie & Clyde plus her friend, a mysterious lady called Cleo - the latter two want me to fly over to help spend my money and say they will send a limo for starters!! What next I wonder! I've just bought the tickets!
That is so far!! . . . . . a very encouraging experiment but wait until the news really breaks in the tabloids LOL

Three Class Distinctions
I dug out a favourite and famous John Cleese YouTube showing the typical Great British class distinctions, as made popular by the mad Monti Python team. With him are Ronnie Barjer and Ronnie Corbett who later starred in the blockbuster The Two Ronnies TV series
And then I found a more recent skit on it, featuring Stephen Fry with Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett.
No offence meant I am sure with reference to the French. I have some great French pals.
