    Forget that, just imagine her starkers, bouncing on your dick with a face on her like she's just taken a bite out of a lemon dipped in battery acid and moaning like a Rottweiler is tearing the barse off her.

    It's unlikely she'd find the idea of sucking whiskey off your erect penis appealing alright;)

    My nan was at the theatre once, and ended up sitting behind Patricia Routledge.

    Nan (not known for her whispering) turned to her friend and said "It's Mrs Bucket!!". Routledge turned around and said 'It's Bouquet, dear'.

    It's the new money types that annoy me. There's one near me...who was reared without a pot to piss in. Now I see her with her faux fur leopardskin coat, swanning off to the school in her 4 wheel drive to collect Tarquin & Guinevere

    My mother is a total Hyacinth, she even watchs the show whenever it is on UK Gold, she changes her voice when she answers the phone. She helped me buy a BMW when I was 19 and loves having everything prim and proper. She makes my father park his van behind the house incase anyone would see that old "tinkers van". She came from working class and both my parents are now both upper middle class and my father is a total onslow type character and isn't worried about having money or not.

    The same woman nearly had a heart-attack when I started dating a single mother a few years ago and tried her damndest to interfere, it didn't work but not because of her. She loves to boast, especially to her family and is a typical Irish mammy in that I as her son can do no wrong whatsoever, my sister and her have war nearly every second day and she moved out of home as she just couldn't stick her.

    My dad often calls my mam Hyacinth and it is a perfect description.

    Yeah, my inlaws are kind of like that.
    They were poor growing up, and worked their way up with a nice push along the way from the celtic tiger.

    They're all about the money, the house, what you should and shouldn't do.
    They seem to think they are superior because they have money and 'stuff'.
    'Keeping up appearances' is them to a tee.

    I can't stand them at all.
    As people, we just differ so much.
    I don't care for stuff, or keeping up with the neighbours, or doing what you 'should' do etc...

    Have you seen the outtakes for Keeping Up Appearances?

    If you haven't you can see them here below.









    What great memories. I hope you enjoy them as I have too.

    All this mentioning of Penelope Keith as Margo, reminded me of her TV series husband Jerry Leadbetter (Paul Eddington).
    Have to re-watch "Yes Minister" and "Yes Prime-minister" again. Out with the boxsets. :D
    More ever brilliant classic stuff.

    Should be required watching before every general election, shows every political trick in the book. One of the most intelligent and funny comedies ever wrote.

    Never liked 'Keeping Up Appearances', see one episode and you've seen them all, it basically repeated the same jokes ad nauseum. And the long suffering husband, Richard, jeez what a wimp..

    my sister- dad calles her "Mrs bucket" she was raised in a corporation estate same as us- married into money and now talks with an english accent and is always saying stuff like "Lets do lunch" and "I wont eat in that cafe its common"

    Will only drink red wine and thinks paying with cash in a restaurants tacky!

    We all went for a meal once and she told me to give her my money and she would pay with the credit card as "I would make a show of her going up paying for my part of the meal seperatly"

    Yet when she gets a few drinks into her she talks in her normal accent and starts drinking beer again!

    we just take the piss out of her- drives her mad!!!

    Isn't the 'barse' a part of the male anatomy?

    Grew up a few doors up from a woman like Hyacinth. She dressed like part of the 'county set' in expensive tweeds and bemoaned the lack of solicitors' and doctors' wives in the area that she could go for walks with. (This to my mother, who she was walking with at the time! Not to mention the fact that she didn't register that women could be doctors and solicitors too!) She called her children pretentious names (akin to Sheridan) and would boast about them all the time.

    Last I heard of her she was having her bum wiped in a nursing home.

    Thatcher who was in power at the time (and was also a fan of the show), once jokingly asked "Was the writers of the show listening in on her, the government departments and her advisor's?"
    She just about said it was near accurate to the real daily goings on! :pac:

    ...But yea, its a insight into the red-tape, politics and paper-shuffling that goes on in government.
    Brilliant series on two levels.
    One as a pure comedy (best episode for me was "The Key") and on an educational level.

    Pure gold.

    Yep, my next door neighbour is just like her, she was furious recently when she discovered that Sinn Fein had attached a Vote No poster to the telephone pole outside her house. As there wasn't too many Sinn Fein posters in my area I like to think they specifically chose outside her house just to piss her off :pac:

    I'd sympathise with her there, I sure would not like to see a SF poster in my street.

    Growing up, we had a neigbour who drove a Toyota Crown. It was like something the Soviets would have driven Gorbachev around in, polished to within an inch of its life and luxurious inside. In reality he had crowbarred a smaller engine into it to save money and it wasnt worth a grand. He had big ideas and liked to 'keep up appearances'. He was a sound aul fella though who never had a bad word to say about anyone. Its the Hyacinth buckets of this world that forget where they came from and belittle others that I hate.
