Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted February 7, 2006 I've changed my opinion, I was wrong. This Dicky O thread has got completely out of control Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,533 Posted February 7, 2006 unless you know which celebrity is at Brinsworth there's not really any way of knowing. They don't list who they have there on their website Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted February 7, 2006 Thats true, but if you put brinsworth house in the search engine, you can see who was there, its quite sad really, i am still upset that ray hasnt replied to my email about writing to richard though Other people on the web have apparently had more success by phoning Brinsworth House first. Whoever answers then tells them to send an email, etc, which they will reply to as they know you know they've received it. If that makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Crossed 33 Posted February 7, 2006 I've never used the Live Chat function on this site, but this thread seems to have turned into a surrogate Yahoo! Messenger. I realise that people want to see as many entries as possible on this thread, but it's gaining around three pages of waffle per day at the moment. How about we have a thread where people can just chat to each other about doing stuff and keep this one for news and relevant posts about Dickie O'? Don't mean to insult anyone in particular, but can we keep the stream-of-consciousness waffle to a minimum? Cheers, Star Crossed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted February 7, 2006 Dialectics It looks like your regular net.kook, but it can also be parody. In my experience there's no parody so weird or there's someone online who believes exactly that and then some. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Pooka 26 Posted February 7, 2006 I met Kurtz once, way up the Nung River, I found his methods to be quite sound. He must be exterminated with extreme prejudice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Pooka 26 Posted February 7, 2006 I suppose that one could argue that Tessa Wyatt is the culmination of a process that started with a few amino acids in a brackish pool. But for ideographic dialectics to emerge from a discussion about Charlie Drake and his Brinsworth ilk requires a new understanding of evolution. I will pause to reflect........

Tempus Fugit 214 Posted February 7, 2006 I think Colonel Kurtz should be recruited to head MI5. I am sure he could winkle Bin Laden out of his cave. I think Sir Ian Blair should stand down as head of the met, his methods are unsound. I think Himler should make good use of a sharp razor blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempus Fugit 214 Posted February 7, 2006 I know, thats why i said what i said in the post above yours, although its a hated topic, its still gets viewed by the haters It's become a hated topic due to the high level of moronic drivel that has been recently posted.

Harvester Of Souls 40 Posted February 7, 2006 Being an unemployed alcoholic, I have considered suicide frequently, however razor blades sound a bit grim, I am leaning towards plastic bag duct taped over my head, I should just get dizzy, pass out and die right? Why not go for a Milligan? Pretty much as highlighted but put a satsuma in your mouth and steal some lingerie from a lady tramp. Then simply masturbate until you pass out.

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted February 8, 2006 Someone else's or not, at least it's a memorable line. Apart from a few of the utterances of George and Mildred can anyone remember a really memorable line from a Dickie O vehicle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mortician 2 Posted February 8, 2006 No, just the face pulling 1970's sitcoms summed up in 4 words - pure genius ps: before the abuse (Fawlty and Fletcher are the exceptions that prove the rule) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pulphack 6 Posted February 8, 2006 'now i want you to fill that jar, fletcher.' 'what, from here?' ok so you need the visual, too, but he follows it with : 'with these feet?' the feet gag being a great running one (!) in the first episode. true there aren't many great lines from sit-com in the seventies, but that's surely because most UK sit-com with memorable lines was derived from radio, and tv execs wanted an emphasis on silly sight gags in tv comedy. how much of it was about physical comedy and faces? eric sykes being an example of the higher end, benny hill of the lower. and yes, i know his shows weren't sit-com, but his co-writer dave freeman wrote a LOT of sit-com episodes for different series, and was typical of the time. 'dad's army' had some better lines because the cast were a bit too old for pratfalls (mostly), and cleese was a law unto himself. dickie was just the middle-class robin askwith. discuss (or not) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted February 9, 2006 can anyone remember a really memorable line from a Dickie O vehicle? Given the lack of activity above, I'll take it as a no. My strongest recollection is the commercial for real coal fires and that immortal line; 'Yeah, it makes great toast.' How long before he's toast eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prince Vulpine 0 Posted February 10, 2006 There were some amusing lines in Dick Turpin, but for some reason they tended to be spoken by other characters. Writer Richard Carpenter went on to scribble Robin Of Sherwood,which had MUCH better lines and wasn't as miscast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
