Comedy

[Cheery]

I love The Goons... to be honest I am not much of a fan of modern comedy - though I will give Gavin and Stacey another go ... especially as it has the fantastically funny Rob Brydon in it.

One of my favourite scenes was when one of them asked another the time and he said: I got it writted down on a piece of paper, it say's 8.

The reply: I wish I had the time writted down on a piece of paper...

Oh and one of the sketches I am sure was based on my grandfather as Harry Secombe used to meet and talk to my grandfather when he was working on the trains. The scene mentions a 'right proper Charlie from the Carshalton Marshes' ... I think that's right ... anyway my grandfather was called Charles and he lived in the Carshalton, near some very marshy fields.

Oh and he used to give my grandad a bit of money to buy his kids sweets.

I think the goons are very funny
Although I don't understand a thing without a script in front of my nose

I guess people would call me old fashioned when it comes to comedy. I love Monty Python, Blackadder, Goons, Allo Allo and so on. Must be the influence from my dad. We have the same taste for music and comedy.
