And a new edition today:

"The undisputed champion of Give Us A Clue was Lionel Blair who was particularly good at the Rocky series of movies. Christopher Biggins relates how Lionel would visit his dressing room to hone his impression of Sylvester Stalone beating his opponents, often going down several times before knocking one out."

These were just received from Mrs GTD to brighten my day:

 

Profiteering – controversial piece of jewellery in the shape of Mohammed

 

Disarray – to give directions in China

 

Endorse – loser in the Grand National

 

Offset – the regulatory authority that inspects badgers

 

Onomatopoeia – the first sign of a weak bladder

 

Urchin – the correct place to punch Hazel Blears

 

Gondolier – something you can catch from a boatman

 

Pickaninny – the FA selection process for choosing a new England manager

 

Defamatory – hard of hearing but still frisky

 

Foxglove – Basil Brush

 

 

 

This is completely unacceptable behaviour from someone who lives near Chichester. Minty!

I love Humph's comments at the end about Samantha. I can't quite remember the line, but my favourite was something to do with Samantha's new Italian boyfriend who was bringing her some ice cream. The final comment was that 'Samantha was looking forward to going home to lick the nuts off a large Neopolitan'!!

agony auntsThe undisputed queen of the Agony Aunts must surely be Claire Raynor, who has sent us one of her answers to a genuine embarrassing problem. To preserve anonymity we’ll call the writer Mr. X.

 

Claire responds:

 

Dear Barry X of Hatch End,

No luvvy I don’t think you are suffering from Tourette’s Syndrome, but in the unlikely event you are invited back again to speak to the ladies of the Cunningham Hunt try not to drink 14 pints of lager first.

 

This is completely unacceptable behaviour from someone who lives near Chichester. Minty!

I gave a copy of the UED to my brother a couple of Christmases (?) ago and had to begged to stop reading as I was laughing uncontrollably with tears streaming down my face. I really must get myself a copy 😬

And we have received a letter from Mrs Trellis of North Wales. It reads,

 

"Dear Clint,

 

Sorry for misspelling your name in my last letter.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Mrs Trellis"

 

Still one of my favourites.

 

And didn't the ageing arcivist once go down to the cellar with Samantha to get some old records where he removed the dust and wax off in front of her?

BTTT because there has just been the Best of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue on Radio 4. Humphrey Lyttelton picks his "least worst" moments...

 

Not only was there the Uxbridge definition "defunct - having one's sense of rhythm removed" but there was an absolutely brilliant rendition by Rob Bryden of "Who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler?" to The Carpenters "Yesterday once more"

 

Really, really strong recommended - you will have to catch it on BBC i-player listen again.
