Ha! Couldn't resist the fame coming out would bring could you? Only the meek resort to forum publicity stunts.

Not so much the meek as the hubristic. 'Coming out' as such won't really bring fame. Perhaps mild indifferent surprise/annoyance in others. But what the hell. I've enjoyed trying to do creative things with the forum - stuff like the Live Forum Sitcom/Sentence/Stand Up Routines etc (often started under other names) cos the people who come here have good comedy minds and it seemed an interesting way to use the forum. Not really sure what I was up to with The Watcher thing. Just another mad forum character I suppose, like Gas Bottle and Clown (neither of which are me, incidentally). Oh well. I've shown my knickers in public now, as CM once nearly said.

Last week in a restaurant:

"We'd like a bottle of house red please"

"Would you like a giraffe?"

Tamar??????

Do the words "eclair" and "tweek" mean anything to u?

i used to like it when people - usually your parents - referred to Spitting Image as 'Spitting Images'. i think Naked Video even did a sketch about a character who gets irritated by such malapropisms - "Dr Spock was a renowned Amercian childcare specialist and as far as I know did not come from the planet Vulcan."

But any emotion you imbue in others which leaves a lasting impression (or even contempt) will surly make you memorable won't it? I'm guessing all this palaver or 'creativity' is an ingrained hang up from your various disappointments in the Welsh media. Hmmm I think the mirror may be back-firing...

You mean a one 'Mr.Griffiths has a very good comedy mind and he's determined to prove it no matter what the Welsh may feel.'

>Not really sure what I was up to with The Watcher thing. Just another mad forum character I suppose, like Gas Bottle and Clown (neither of which are me, incidentally).

Well I suppose madness is a widespread trait.

Sorry to butt-in. Has anyone got change for a pound?

Jesus.
Now I am confused. How many people are you, kinder?

various disappointments in the welsh media???

anything specific in mind cos i dont know what you're on about, kinder?

Come now Mr.Griffiths don't play hard to get. We all know you're proud of your Welsh flops.

>We all know you're proud of your Welsh flops.

I was nervous. This has never happened to me before. It's not you, it's me. We can just talk if you like.

>I was nervous. This has never happened to me before. It's not you, it's me. We can just talk if you like.

No need to get over excited Mr.Griff. Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned the 'W' word what with its special yet impoverished place in your heart.

>Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned the 'W' word what with its special yet impoverished place in your heart.


It's like you can see into my soul.

Poor Mr G.

>It's like you can see into my soul.

If the truth be known Mr.Griff, your soul is crying out for the anguish of the Welsh flops to be pacified. Such inability to satisfy a sparsely populated nation is bound to take its toll on your body somehow. Let things take their natural course Mr.Griff. Perhaps it's time to try new territory. How about Pitcairn? If all else fails you'll be able to assess each inhabitant in a mirror-type fashion and pass yourself off as a mystic gypsy.

Think about it Mr.Griff. Your pride is salvageable.

Yes.

See! You sound more positive already. Good luck Mr.Griff.

Thanks kinder. I'll take your advice.

You're off to Pitcairn?

Can I just point out that Mr Griffiths amuses me immensely?

I wish I'd met him when I visited Wales. I stayed with my then boyfriend at his family home in Bedda - near Pontypridd. I almost chewed my foot off from sheer boredom. Instead I played bingo 3 times in 4 days. It would have been 4 times but they respected the Sabbath, damn them.

Had to resurrect this thread for this gem, overheard at a party:

"Ooo, your boyfriend looks like Finlay Quail!"

Two people overheard on bus:

"We saw Simon Weston"
"No it wasn't, it was just someone who looks like him"

A friend of mine told me she saw the man who played Worzel Gummidge and Doctor Who (in that order) wandering around Soho Square a few days ago. Which suprised me as he's been dead for a while.

I think she must have meant Tom Baker, who's often seen on the streets of Soho (I saw him once pass The Curzon).

surely not watcher off of Buffy movie, that was awful

That was Donald Sutherland

he was better in Don't Look Now

Can we start a Donald sutherland thread?
I love him in Kelly's Heroes where he's a WWII hippy for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON.
What a movie! Written in some kind of bonged out haze by Troy Kennedy Martin, it's just The Italian Job with tanks...
"You're only supposed to blow the bloody Bridge Over The River Kwai up...."

I've gone off the subject here. Sorry.

MASH came across as biggotted and sexist, which is a shame because I'd heard it was good...
