    Why do they call him Trigger, does he carry a gun?

    No, it's because he looks like a horse.

    Del: You're going on your holidays Tuesday, ain't yer?

    Trigger: Yeah, I'm Looking forward to that Del. I've been under a bit of pressure lately, what with me Gran in hospital and me case being adjourned. It'll be nice to get away from it all. I'm gonna live it up a bit. Disco's nightclubs, golden beaches, blue skies.

    Rodney: Sounds Great Trig, where'y going?

    Trigger: Ireland!

    RIP.

    Don't think you got it.

    He called Rodney "Dave" and he's not dead!

    Trigger. "Maintained it for 20 years. This old broom's had 17 new heads and 14 new handles in its time."
    Sid. "How can it be the same brush trigger?"
    *Shows photo of brush.*
    Trigger. "Well there's a picture of it, what more proof do you need?"

    its not often a celeb death puts me in a downer but jeez he was one of my favourite characters of all time. The deadpan humour was just fantastic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,333 ✭✭✭deise08

    He was absolutely brilliant. :(

    Rodney - where's your dad Trigger?
    Trigger - he died a couple of years before I was born.

    :D:D:D

    Terrible news. I know this is essentially Del Boy's scene but Trig's reaction is just priceless.

    RIP Dave

    Rest in Peace Trig.

    I actually sat opposite him on the tube in London years ago. I was getting off at my stop and he was going further, when I stood up to get off, he looked up from his newspaper at me and I said "Alright Trigger?" in my best cockney accent, he just laughed and said "Alright Dave?" in his Trigger voice. Nice man.

    Rodney: Trig, why do you call me Dave? My name's Rodney.
    Trigger: Are you sure?
    Rodney: I've looked it up on my passport and birth certificate and everything. It's definitely Rodney.
    Trigger: So what's Dave? A nickname, like?
    Rodney: No - you’re the only person who calls me Dave, everybody else calls me Rodney - and the reason they call me Rodney, is because Rodney is my name.
    Trigger: Well, I shall have to get used to calling Rodney from now on.
    Rodney: Thank you.
    Trigger: How long are you going to be Baz? Me and Dave haven’t got all day.


    RIP

    Mike: What name have they decided on?
    Trigger: If it's a girl they're calling it Sigourney after an actress, and if it's a boy they're naming him Rodney after Dave!

    :pac:

    Del: "I thought you said the council dump was open 24 hours?"

    Trigger: "It is but it's closed at night!" :D

    Oh Christ...Trigger always called Rodney 'Dave' The comment was made purposely to highlight triggers constant confusion over Rodney's name. It's called 'wit' (which seems lost on you)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,038 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    Trigger And that's what I've done. Maintained it for 20 years. This old brooms had 17 new heads and 14 new handles in its time.
    Sid How the hell can it be the same bloody broom then?
    Trigger Theres the picture. What more proof do you need?

    RIP

    Don't worry I do get "wit" but just think the logic is wrong. Anyhow each to their own!

    Trigger: What you up to Dave?
    Rodney: I'm listening to Mozart's Concerto No.5 in D-Minor
    Trigger: No words to this song Dave?
    Rodney: No Trigger, it's an instrumental


    Del Boy: All right Trigger? What you doing?
    Trigger: I'm listening to Mozart's Concerto No.5 in D-Minor
    Del Boy: Okay.
    Trigger: It's the karaoke version


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 226 ✭✭preston johnny
