My Tribute To Ronnie Barker.

[padi56]

This was originally shown on BBC TV, back in the seventies.
Ronnie Barker could say all this without a snigger (though god
knows how many takes)this man was a genious comic.

The irony is that the BBC received not one complaint. Must have
been the speed of delivery was too much for the whining herds. Try getting
through it without converting the spoonerisms as you read;

This is the story of Rindercella and her sugly isters.
Rindercella and her sugly isters lived in a marge lansion. Rindercella worked very hard frubbing sloors, emptying poss pits, and shivelling shot.

At the end of the day, she was knucking fackered.
The sugly isters were right bugly astards. One was called Mary Hinge, and the other was called Betty Swallocks; they were really forrible huckers; they had fetty sweet and fetty swannies.

The sugly isters had tickets to go to the ball, but the cotton runts would not let Rindercella go.

Suddenly there was a bucking fang, and her gairy fodmother
appeared. Her name was Shairy Hithole and she was a light rucking fesbian. She turned a pumpkin and six mite wice into a hucking cuge
farriage with six dandy ronkeys who had buge hollocks and dig bicks

The gairy fodmother told Rindercella to be back by dimnlight otherwise, there would be a cucking falamity.
At the ball, Rindercella was dancing with the prandsome hince when suddenly the clock struck twelve. "Mist all chucking frighty!!!" said Rindercella, and she ran out
tripping barse over ollocks, so dropping her slass glipper. The very next day the prandsome hince knocked on Rindercella's door and the sugly isters let him in.

Suddenly, Betty Swallocks lifted her leg and let off a fig bart.
"Who's fust jarted??" asked the prandsome hince. "Blame that fugly ucker over there!!" said Mary Hinge. When the stinking brown cloud had lifted, he tried the slass glipper on both the sugly isters without success and their feet stucking funk.

Betty Swallocks was ducking fisgusted and gave the prandsome hince a knack in the kickers.
This was not difficult as he had bucking fuge halls and a hig bard on.
He tried the slass glipper on Rindercella and it fitted pucking ferfectly.Rindercella and the prandsome hince were married. The pransome hince lived his life in lucking fuxury, and Rindercella lived hers with a follen swanny.

Ronnie was certainly a comic genius, he will be sadly missed. Fortunately we live in the age of DVD so his comic sketches can be seen by generations to come.

I saw Tommy Cooper live a couple of times at Blackpool. He had you in stitches from start to finish and he never told a dirty joke. He once appeared at a local club and during the day he would catch a bus and just travel around the town cracking jokes to the passengers and generally making a fool of himself. I thought it was a clever way of judging audience response to some of his gags. I believe he was a Welshman by birth Peter.

unfortuneatly i feel this era of comic genius is sadly gone and missed, i can't think of one right off, that we'll still see on our screens "and laughing still" from todays crop in twenty years time

Yes Adrian he was a Welshman born about 20 miles from my home.He was
born in Caerphilly yes I seen him live at Blackpool too.But it was many years
ago I remember he come on stage and his only prop was a garden gate.How
he got the audience almost p#ssing themselves,with just a gate was a true
mark of his genius.
