........................I don't get it

Perfect headline. Kudos to subby.

If I was the sort of person who posted the clapping-people pictures I would be posting the clapping-people pictures right now.

Hi:

The youngsters won't get it.

/I'm not old.
//Maybe I am?

Just don't mention the war.

/I mentioned the war once, but I think I got away with it.

Is this a piece of your brain?

/21 and knows it
//was raised on the classics

Fawlty Towers

"IS THIS A PIECE OF YOUR BRAIN?!"

Norad

Ha!

"And if you give us any more trouble, I shall visit you in the small hours and put a bat up your nightdress!"

You see, I speak eenglish very well. I looorned it from a boook.

Excuse me, is there a Mrs Richards posting here?

This FT episode is what I would call the perfect sitcom episode.

Were the tubs not big enough to drown a mouse?

Didn't God give you eyes?

Norad

I completely agree.

/gawd, I love FT

big fuzzy balls: Were the tubs not big enough to drown a mouse?

I wish YOU were a mouse...

No, no, is not rat, is Siberian Hampster!

Norad: "And if you give us any more trouble, I shall visit you in the small hours and put a bat up your nightdress!"

And you usually hate my headlines. You ponce in here expecting to be waited on hand and foot. Have you any idea of how much there is to do? Do you ever think of that? Of course not, you're all too busy sticking your noses into every corner, poking around for things to complain about, aren't you? Well let me tell you something - this is exactly how Nazi Germany started. A lot of layabouts with nothing better to do than to cause trouble. Well I've had fifteen years of pandering to the likes of you, and I've had enough. I've had it. Come on, pack your bags and get out.

Madam, I don't mean to pry, but do you by any chance have a hearing aid?

Posting this from a hotel front desk, so I'm getting a kick..

/don't remember FT well enough to quote it.

zephyrkate: No, no, is not rat, is Siberian Filigree Hampster!

ftfy

What, no fawlty towers reference yet?

Darn...

"Brit hotel sector suffers after incompetent management allows foreign waiters to put rat poison on the veal cutlet"

Lt Col Ryan believes Fossett may have faked his own death due to personal problems or fears about his business dealings.



He's spending a year dead for tax purposes.

Darth Nastyperson

Actually, it's Filigree Siberian Hampster.

Que?

+1 subby.

I am a moose. How are you?

Do you have any valuables to check? any bricks...

YOU BASTARD.

Bith Set Me Up: Just don't mention the war.

/I mentioned the war once, but I think I got away with it.

I'll do the funny walk...

Happy? Ah yes, I remember that.

Best headline ever. 'Nuff said.

You can see the sea. It's over there between the land and the sky.

Veldt. Not plain.

And I believe they were thundering.

Now, we shall listen to Brahms' Third Racket. Would you care for a rat?

big fuzzy balls, Darth Nastyperson

Thanks, it's an in joke in my family, but over the years we've forgotten the Filigree.

/Has the whole series on DVD, time to watch again.

You guys don't disappoint.

He hit me on the head!
No, you hit him. You naughty moose!

Rebus: Hi:

The youngsters won't get it.

Mrs. Richards: When I pay for a view, I expect to see something more interesting than that.
Basil Fawlty: That is Torquay, madam.
Mrs. Richards: Well, that's not good enough.
Basil Fawlty: Well, might I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The hanging gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically...

Sorry, Duck's off.

Beware_of_the_Leopard: Madam, I don't mean to pry, but do you by any chance have a hearing aid?

Of course I do! I just turn it off because the battery runs down....

/one of my favorite episodes ever

"We're German"
"Oh I'm sorry, I thought there was something wrong with you".

German: Will you stop talking about the war!
Basil: Me? You started it!
German: We did not start it.
Basil: Yes you did, you invaded Poland...


/absolute classic!

"Fawlty? What's wrong with him?"

No! Is Siberian hamster!
