Talk Like an Egyptian


From today, I am Walter.

The future is bright, the future is orange...........and so incidentally is Mohammed Al Fayed, the subject of our story tonight, children.
Yes, the orange Egyptian transformed my life today and gave the future an oh so attractive hue. You see, I used to think that I was just plain, simple Reg Pither, a plain and simple man living a plain and simple life. How wrong I was.
The error of my ways became apparent when the Diana inquest jury was told how Little Mo could prove that his late son and the aforementioned neurotic clotheshorse were engaged to be married. Mo's reasoning goes like this:

There was CCTV footage of Dodi going into a jeweller's.
There was further footage of a minion from the shop coming out with a bag and taking it over to Dodi's hotel (well, his dad's hotel, actually) where it was locked in a strongroom.
There was documentary proof that Dodi had indeed bought a ring from the jeweller's.

Now we come to Little Mo's fantastic logic and the reason I have had to re-evaluate my life:

HE CLAIMED the ring was an engagement ring.
HE CLAIMED the couple were, therefore, engaged.

So, let's get this straight, shall we? Man dating Big Ears' ex-wife buys ring, yes? Ring is supposedly an engagement ring, yes? Man is therefore engaged to Big Ears' ex, yes?
Ok then. Today I went out an bought an engagement ring for Dolly Parton. Hey presto!! Pither is no longer a saddo on the verge of a divorce. He is, instead, a lucky man about to embark on a journey into marital bliss with an unfeasibly large breasted, 5ft-tall songbird with a mouth which suggests she could suck a golf ball up a vacuum cleaner hose!
Pither then had his hair cut in a silly way, got covered in tattoos and bought an L A Galaxy football strip. Low and behold, he is no longer an almost completely spherical, balding, 47-year-old, jobless, buffoon. No, he's now David Beckham!
Tomorrow I think I shall drive around town, waving gormlessly out of the window at people in the street, thereby becoming the Queen and so enjoying fabulous wealth and more crowns than I can eat. Then, at the weekend, I shall don a bedsheet and a pointy hat, carry a stick and so become Pope Gregory XIII to take advantage of all the booze, drugs and loose women on offer in the wider Catholic world.
I'm not sure if I've already sent Al Fayed to Grantham. You lose track when you're having such fun. Still, I'll send him there again, just to be on the safe side.

Pither you are a genius. I put on rugby shorts, shirt and boots every saturday and yet I am still not a rugby player now I know why.

I was google searching myself and am delighted to find that - albeit unknown to my good self - I am engaged to the gorgeous David (I kinda knew he preferred liberaly endowed women, that Vikki is too flat chested by half), and very excited to discover that he cross dresses as ERII (a girl can never get enough rhinestones!) and ever so pleased that he can self officiate at the wedding service.

You have made my day Reg Pither.

I thank you.

BW,

What you've got to do as well is click your heels together "and wish, and wish, and wish".

Dolly,

Seeing as I've made your day, you couldn't do me a favour, could you? I will provide all the equipment and the lubricant, you just get yourself over here.

Barry Lawrence said...

Garfer,

That was a scary impersonation! You aren't, are you?

Big Ears,

Sorry to have taken your name in vein. You are quite right. There is only one Big Ears. Prince Charles simply has rather prominent ears - you, on the other hand, are the victim of a cruel medical experiment.

Lubricant? Noone has ever needed lubricant before. What on this heaven's earth will we be doing - changing the nuts on the wheels of your wardrobe?!

love Dolly

SHORTS DON'T MATTER! 1. From the greatest programme ever made about association football, Barnstoneworth United FC manager Mr Dainty delivers one of the finest English soliloqiues of all time.......and afterwards, spare a thought for the club steward's wife Vera (YOU ONLY HAVE TO WATCH HALF OF THE CLIP!!).

Not everyone who agonises over their life is a painter. Some of us agonise because we're NOT painters.

....And On the Subject of Great Public Services

I know most of you have heard this marvellous song by those doctors who are the Amateur Transplants......but I think the video is a nice addition. P.S. If there are kids in the room I'd shuffle them out before hitting play.

...There's More

On the subject of those great doctors, here is their version of More Than Words which presents their challenging views on women outside Watford. The very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither, coming from Cumbria, is a huge fan. Again, get those kids out of the room!

Leave Britney Alone, Ok!!!

Oh...........my............God!!!!! My heartfelt thanks go to BGT for this. I won't say much more, I don't need to. Mr Loony of Loonytown, USA (I think it's a bloke, anyway), says it all. I fear he may be wound too tight for.....well.....well for everywhere, really!

I wish I'd sung this! For non-Americans, and with apologies to all the smart arses out there who already knew, the FCC is the Federal Communications Commission and it monitors TV and radio output in the States - a sort of broadcast police - while the EPA is the Yanks' so-called Environmental Protection Agency, a body which does exactly the opposite of what it says on the can. (P.S. We went to the same school, you know? Eric and me, that is, not George, Martha, Dick and Condoleeza and me. I don't think they went to school.) P.P.S. Please see below if you are I Like The View, Malc or Doris.

To Make You Laugh and Cry

I was listening to this on a Sunday, the very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither is a Catholic, Tom Lehrer is one of my all-time heroes and this is one of his best.............no other reasons. On a more sombre note (and with thanks to Fish for coming up with this Woman's-Own-passes-the-time-in-the-dentist's-waiting-room nonsense), why not get a computer to tell you that you are a waste of space and your life is a sham of a mockery of a farce? Ok, it's from one of those poxy dating sites but...go on, take the test. You ain't got much to beat!!

I First Saw This When I Was Little - And Loved It! I Hope That Explains a Few Things

Fuck, Fuckety, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck

It has been pointed out to me that, particularly for one whose profession is supposedly literary, my language is getting worse. My use of the "F" word is, I am told, far too prevalent and hence loses impact. To those who share this view I suggest you watch the following:

Tony Blair Isn't a Burglar - But If He Was.........

In the spirit of Gustav Holst's Jupiter and Manfred Mann's Earth Band, I feel like raising a smile today. The Big Green Thing alerted me to this and, for no other reason than to raise a smile on an otherwise crap Wednesday, I think it has to be shared. Grantham shall not have him - when he gets out of prison.

Life On The Edge - No Net.

I was wrong when I feared it might be a dull weekend, what with my pals being away, my soon-to-be ex-wife in rehab and only the dogs to play with. How wrong can a man be? This much fun must surely be illegal? Just click to see the japes and hoots I am having! Click again to see how things got REALLy exciting! Tomorrow we're going to chase pigeons.

The Good Old U.S. of A. - Guardians of Freedom and Democracy. Nothing to Be Scared of, Then?

Be honest........
