A Rare Snap

Someone, somewhere, wanted photographic proof that Mal The Pig Farmer and I had ever actually been in the same room together so, here it is.
Yes, The Biggles Brothers on tour! Which one is which? You decide.

(Pictured shortly before their arrest........)


P.S. Just gotta share this one. I was told this last night by the great Lamby (he from whom I was separated at birth). He said he went into his local boozer a while ago and was served by the regular barmaid whom he described as bosomatically advantaged but not overly bright.
He spied some cobs on a plate at the back of the bar and so, turning to said barmaid, the following exchange occured:
Lamby: "'Scuse me, love. What's on the cobs?"
Barmaid, turning to examine said comestibles: "It's clingfilm."
Laugh, I nearly passed me fags round!

My... what handsome arms you have!

PS- There was no need to apologize about the BW comment, I just like to tease. There's not much said that can offend me.

A kiss to Padfoot -

you're the one in the brown jacket, right?

I got the clue!You're the one with the ciggy! I know because in this post you say you nearly passed them around.(Can I be in Mensa now?)

Brad said...

I'm guessing the dude on the left in the white T-shirt, with the thick fingers, yup.. he's the pig farmer...

Gin said...

I also think you're the one on the right. If that is truly a photo of you on your blog profile, you are a slim dude. The other guy looks a bit meatier!

Also, I think you mentioned something about drinking Guinness and that sure looks like a Guinness to me! And the smoke is a good tip too!

Barry Lawrence said...

"Meatier" eh? Hmmmmmm. I like that euphemism.
Well, I cannot tell a lie - I am in fact the "fat" git on the left with the banana fingers who is everyone's idea of a pig farmer. Mal is the taller chap who only ever drinks Guinness and doesn't smoke.
P.S. The photo on my blog profile is not me, I'm sorry to say. He is, in fact, a fantastic creation of Michael Palin.
Just type in my name, Monty Python and "cycling tour of Devon and Cornwall and all will be revealed.

I, Like The View said...

I was hoping to snatch a look at Kylie's legs and then make a comparision before casting my vote. . .

Gin said...

Ahahahaha....well then Reg, go to Malc's blog comments and see what I said about the word "meatier"!! Boy, is my face red!! He probably thinks I'm some wacked out, crazy American and wonders what the hell I'm talking about! OMG, I'm cracking up here!!

Ginni, the ridiculous

Malcolm Cinnamond said...

Kylie's solicitors have been on the phone again. Her knees are far knobblier than mine. You're in big trouble Pither.

And Ginni, we've got kind of used to wacked out, crazy Americans since Dubya got elected.

Love to Pad and the pack.

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........
