it reminds me of the old days when there was always someone here and constant conversations. ahem anyway, the only quotes in my head atm predictably come from gw, so, erm, here goes:

"hello."
"woah! don't do that!"
"sorry, did i scare you?"
"no, i just meant don't come near me."

Erm... It think this is right...
"We were gong to cut him down, but we thought you'd be upset."

If I've got it a bit wrong, it's just because I'm in need of repeats!

Why the sudden 'guidelines'? Have we err-ed?

I think the best one liner was fom the movie "Cobra"
Apon arriving back to his car Sly Stallone was asked,"What did you do with Sully?"
Reply"I let him go!"
What Sly actually did was hold him legs first over a bridge to get info from him then when he got it he...LET HIM GO!

Jim Royle in The Royle Family Christmas Special: "It's the only time of the bloody year where we sit in front of the bloody telly and they put this shite on!"

"I wish people would leave a name."

"What are you up to Norm?"
"My ideal weight, if I was 8 foot 4."

"Tell Terry the Ninja I've sold the wheelbarrow."

Christ alive, Jack, did you just quote from GW? I never had you down as a fan. Have I been wrong all this time, or has my memory just started to fail me?

And then he trips over the box of napkins. That whole scene is brilliant.

Without a shadow of a doubt must be Fawlty Towers...eg:

Ape like bloke with big gold chain explains he wont be dining in the hotel but if basil could recommend any restaurants....

Mr J: Is there anywhere they do French food?

Basil: Yes, France, I believe...

They seem to like it there. And the swim would certainly sharpen your appetite. You'd better hurry, the tide leaves in six minutes

classic !

The memory does start to go sometime around...Thursday, was it? Anyway, I was/am a GW fan. I was never as vocal as some and tended not to join the discussions about what to do with JRT but was an avid watcher of the show. Alan is my favourite character, and that (up there, look) is my favourite line.

My favourite GW line wasn't even a line, it was when Boyce, stood behind Alan, stuck out his tongue with the word 'HOMO' on it

Twist in "Spaced" : 'She looks like a turd in a wig'

But on the whole, a disappointing show.

"fool me once..."

I'm tempted to say: "Ooh! What show was that, again??", just to be sweet and play along as they seem to be having so much fun!!!

...and they work well together, too!!

I expect that was funnier in context. What's it from?

for me, it's either series 2 peep show:'i eat over chips, out of the bag, frozen' or blackadder: 'if not very nearly dead, then very actually dead'. woooo, haven't been on here in ages, feels nice to quote comedy without the wierd looks!

Ah, didn't mean to be gnomic. It was more along the lines of "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me". Or words to that effect. So not terribly funny really.

It's okay Pash, I've found the context, and although it's not strictly a sitcom, it is very funny:

"There's an old saying in Tennessee I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee--that says, fool me once, shame on--shame on you. Fool me --you can't get fooled again."
President George W. Bush, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

And now I'm humming the who...

And rather strangely (given the Jimmy the Ninja in Frasier conversation), 'fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...' is the title of an episode of Frasier. Season 2, Episode 14.

Honest.

Now that *is* spooky. Was Jimmy the Ninja in that one?

Not sure, I'll have to watch the DVD.
Or ask Mr Spanners, maybe.

These ninjas aren't doing too well at staying hidden.
