    Alan;You threw a monkey in the sea?!!


    Michael;Well,it had eaten all my fags,it was 200 duty free carton like.so I picked it up and threw it in the sea.


    A;You threw a monkey in the sea?!!
    Thats awful,i mean I was fishing for some sort of funny story but that's just upsetting


    M;Well you know,i just wasn't thinking straight,I got the red mist in front of me eyes and I just hurled it in the sea.


    A;Will you stop saying you threw your monkey in the sea?
    All I can see is a monkey spinning towards the water.


    M;Well it didn't go straight in the water.It bounced of a rock first.

    Now I must say I'm very grateful you've come over. Big fans of all the Irish stuff. Love your pop music, Enya...

    It's four-fifty a.m. The Queen is dead, long live the King Singers!

    (Later)

    Now, we've had several calls during the last few hours concerning a humorous comment I made some time ago. Just to reassure you, the Queen is not dead. It was a humorous intro into a song which seems to have been taken a bit too literally by one or two listeners...and a newspaper. So, just to repeat, QUEEN ELIZABETH IS NOT DEAD.




    Unless she went in the night, and is yet to be discovered by the maid.

    Alan:Actually, can I have a look at that list. I want to get to the bottom of this.
    Mr. G. String…Mr. Nick Hers…Y. Front… Mr. T. Osser? That doesn’t even work.
    Mr. B. Ody – this is Bill Oddie. It’s not a prank call. Why have you put it on there?

    Susan: Well, we thought it looked like ‘body’.

    Alan: What’s rude about a body?

    Sophie
    : Tits?

    Classic from the political debate 'A Partridge over Britain'. His jaw just dropped


    Alan Partridge: The phone lines are open, we have a call: David Silk from Leeds. David, are you there?

    David Silk: [voice] Yes, I am.

    Alan Partridge: Are you wearing any silk?

    David Silk: [voice] No, I'm naked.

    Alan talking about the Irish famine:

    "If it was just the potatoes that were affected, at the end of the day you will pay the price if you're a fussy eater. If you can afford to emigrate, you can afford to eat in a moderately priced restaurant."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,821 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    Calling all pigeons.
    There's a cat amongst you.
    That cat's name is Dave Clifton purr-opping up the bar in his fictional "Nightclub".

    Better being in a fictional nightclub than in a fictional bath, Alan.
    It's better than having fictional listeners.

    It's bad enough sitting on your own in a real nightclub, which you do, but a fictional one is the worth of boast worlds.
    Don't you mean the worst of both worlds? No.
    I do mean the worth of boast worlds.
    In the world of boasters - not the biscuits but people who boast, like you - their worth is worth OK.

    We normally have three clocks on the wall, there. Telling the time in London, Paris and Dublin. Which is the same as London, but I do think sometimes you need to be reminded of that.

    Apparently you do. I was working in our London office this week and they had this on the wall:

    Reminds me of the story of the Englishman travelling in Ireland. He arrives at a train station fifteen minutes early according to the clock outside, so he stops to have a smoke. When he goes in, he realises he's missed his train. The train, he's told, runs according to the clock INSIDE the station, not the one outside. "Why on earth do you have a different time on the clock inside to the one outside?" he asks. "Sure, if they both had the same time on them, why would we need the two of them?"

    Alan: Right, OK. Shoestring, Taggart, Spender, Bergerac, Morse. What does that say to you about regional detective series?

    Tony Hayers: There's too many of them?

    Alan: (Pause) That's one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is, people like them, let's make some MORE of them. A detective series based in Norwich called Swallow. Swallow is a detective who tackles vandalism. Bit of a maverick, not afraid to break the law if he thinks it's necessary. He's not a criminal, but he will, perhaps, travel 80mph on the motorway if he, for example, he wants to get somewhere quickly...

    [Tony Hayers shakes his head.]

    Alan: Think about it. No-one had heard of Oxford before Inspector Morse. I mean, this will put Norwich on the map.

    Tony Hayers: Why would I want to do that?

    Alan: (Pause) Yep, fair point.

    Lynn: Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news?
    Alan: The good news.
    Lynn: Well, Rawlinson's say you can have another fifty of the shop-soiled chocolate oranges if you plug them again tomorrow.
    Alan: Excellent. And the bad news?
    Lynn: The accountants say that since you've definitely not got a second series at the BBC you're going to have to sack everyone at Pear Tree Productions and close the office down. Otherwise they're going to declare you bankrupt on Friday.
    Alan: Right. Still, good news about the chocolate oranges.

    Well at this stage of the show, some of my viewers maybe thinking "Alan, You're a liar! You promised that this show would be hot and now you're chatting to three senior citizens." But if I said I am now going to jump into a TARDIS, go back in time and recreate the Berlin Olympics with these three old women, you'd say "Alan, that is hot, we were wrong earlier."

    You're sacked! You are sacked, I'm sacking you. In fact, it's happened, it's over, it's already happened, you are a sacked man. You've been sacked. You're the subject of a sacking, I want you off these premises in 10 minutes. Knowing me, Alan Partridge, sacking you, Glenn Ponder. A-ha!

    Caller - "I'd like to go round Lego land with Sean Connery then afterwards go for a lovely lamb lunch in the centre of Windsor"

    Alan - "Gotta say I don't think that's Connery's cup of tea, I think Sean would rather wander round the wildfowl park in Pepperstock with a bottle of Scotch"

    Caller - "I don't agree, he'd go to Lego land, bye"

    Alan: Jill, whoa whoa. Jill… Jill! What are you doing!? For God’s sake, Jill, what are you doing!?

    [The lights come back on to reveal Alan standing by the bed. Chocolate mousse is smeared all over the front of his dressing gown and his face.]

    Alan: Jill, God’s sake!

    [Jill also has chocolate mousse on her face.]

    Jill: Well I just thought I’d pour chocolate mousse over you.

    Alan: You’ve got it on the bedsheets, you’ve got it on my dressing gown, you’ve got it on the valance…

    Jill: The what?

    Alan: The skirt thing round the side of the bed.

    Jill: I thought it’d be erotic.

    Alan: Oh, Jill. Mousse from a bowl is very nice, but to put it on a person is demented!

    Jill: Come on, it’s only a bit of chocolate!

    Alan: It may be chocolate to you, Jill, but to an unwitting member of staff this could look like some sort of… dirty protest against the standard of service in the hotel, which I happen to think is very good. I mean, it’s not five-star but it’s certainly competitive.
