The actor Derek Thompson has filmed his last episode of 'Casualty' after 46 years playing male nurse Charlie.
So the BBC, mindful of keeping continuity with the programme, have hired Derek Thompson, the Racing presenter we all love (sic) to fill the role. Derek has caused a bit of a stir on set with ad libs such as 'It's A PHODO!!' when shown an x-ray, and 'WHOA BIG FELLA!!' while trying to calm a patient. The last straw however. was when he gave the number of his tipping line to try and cheer up a bereaved relative. Next: Thompson Twins. |

The forthcoming**ney Rhyming Slang Society Convention due to be held in December is likely to be as lively as the notorious 1959 debate over whether Bubble was short for Bubble Bath/Laugh or Bubble & Squeek/Greek. It's now 50 years on and the controversy still rages. Will it be the same story for Victoria Coren? "Vicky" has been in use for a few years now as Slang for "Foreign", but a breakaway group has begun using "Vicky" to mean "Sporran". A spokesman for the CRSC said "Yeah, there could be a bit of barney over this one. But if Sporran gets offician approval I'll eat me titfer AND me syrup!"

Poor old 'Soup' never stood a chance and he went down like a cow's tail, but his name is forever ingrained in the hearts and minds of derring-do men. Next: What's for tea ma? |
