Return of the Drag: 2011

[Badgers]

I don't think I has seen or heard of any of these programmes.
Not had a telly for much of my life though and never been into game shows of any kind.

Geeky kid

Something obviously went rather wrong.

I wanted to go on Ask the Family but my mum and dad were too thick

I was too naughty - and too thick

they always had a geeky kid who knew more than his father it's just not right - humiliating daddy

I reckon if we had gone on my Mum would have made us matching outfits so my brother and Dad would be wearing the same and she and I would. She liked doing that when we were small! We had loads of matching clothes!

One Man & His Dog
Antiques Roadshow
Junior Kick Start

This is more my sort of pace

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

What about the one with Jack Hargreaves in a shed? That was positively soporific, but strangely soothing. I really liked it when I was about 8.

I booked Jim Bowen for a gig once.
He was late and when finally arriving he asked me where the bar was.

 

[Badgers]

Fred Dibnah was a classic

Good man, obviously knows about the important things in life.

proper Star!

I went out with a girl who lived next door to him - never saw him as she was at Durham at uni, and her folks lived next door to him in Morecombe or Lancaster or somewhere

He was good on stage.
Did a bit of stand up and then did a live Bullseye.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Mind you if we had gone on "Ask the Family* everyone would have thought I was a boy as I did look like one from about age 8-13

Plenty of that sort of thing.
It was an elderly audience which lapped it up.

Saturday night thing and he asked if anyone had won the lottery. One old lass stuck her hand up and said she had won about £60, to which Bowen replied 'best get yourself some new clothes then' to much raucous laughter.

I loved Blankety Blank - loved it! Plus you could sing along to it to!

I used to go to a club with my mum and dad when I was a kid, Trades and Labour Club - they'd have an act playing on a Saturday night - earlyish - usually a husband/wife combo playing a medley of current hits - with a drum machine and synth - most of the crowd however was awaiting the main act - the Bingo!

The Woking & District Liberal & Radical Club was a good spot for a few beers for me.

 

[marty21]

I still go to the Liberal Club with my dad sometimes - cheap beer

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

We used to go to the Godolphin Working Men's Club, stuck in the games room with crisps and coke for hours.

Now I sometimes join the old man down the British Legion, £1.50 a pint

Sing along to it to what?

Well my Dad took us down the civil service club on a Sunday afternoon, where we had crisps & coke and watched Jack Hargreaves on the telly.


e2a:

And 'How', with Fred Dineage (and possibly Jack Hargreaves? it's all getting a bit blurred tbh). The best bit of that show EVAR, or one of the best bits anyway, was when they showed that if your toilet roll inner and outer ply were not synching up, then by simply bringing the outer ply round the outside of the roll, they would now match up - all the way down the roll!!!!

Near our place there is a place called The Effra Club
Well, that is the title on the sign outside but it is actually called The Effra Conservative Club
Generally Brixton is not known for Conservatives

Similarly, if the inner and outer ply were indeed matched up, then by bringing the outer ply round the outside of the roll, they would now be out of sync all the way down the roll, causing mild irritation at wiping time - bog guerrilla warfare!

I liked it when Dineage swung a bucket full of water in a circle and no water came out - centrifugal forces
