Scene I: Tipperary, Wartime
[ This image is no longer available. ] General Melchett (Borneo): I have it on good authority that the Combined Forces are massing at Thurles and planning an audacious gambling coup. I want a piece of that action. Now how much should we stake this time? General Melchett (Borneo): You look surprised, Blackadder. Captain Blackadder (Paulie): I certainly am, sir. I didn't realise we had any Staking Plans. General Melchett (Borneo): Well, of course we have! How else do you think our gambles are directed? Captain Blackadder (Paulie): Our gambles are directed, sir? General Melchett (Borneo): Well, of course they are, Blackadder, directed according to the Grand Plan Captain Blackadder (Paulie): Would that be the plan to continue gambling with total abandon until we are as poor as a church mouse that's just had an enormous tax bill on the very day his wife ran off with another mouse, taking all the cheese. General Melchett (Borneo): Great Scott! Even you know it! |

Lieutenant George (Scouse Tony): I want to see how a gambling coup is pulled off… so badly. Blackadder (Paulie): Well, you've come to the right place, Tony. A gambling coup hasn’t been planned this badly since Moneytree layed a double on Mon Mome to win the National and Sole Power to win the Nunthorpe. |

Blackadder (Paulie): Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation? Baldrick (Wonks): If we can just sport the horse owners arriving in their whirly birds, Sir. Blackadder (Paulie): As a special reward, Baldrick, take a short holiday. Did you enjoy it? Right. |

[ This image is no longer available. ] Blackadder (Paulie): Naturally the great gambling coup was a fiasco, a coup which would have been a damn sight simpler if we had just stayed in L@dbrokes and played FBOTS all week. |

I work in Fawlty Towers Kav.....that's enough comedy action for me!
|
|
By:
A somewhat unwanted promotion for me as I preferred it when I was the Major.
I still laugh at the Fawlty Towers repeats but must admit I never saw the programme above so all flying a bit over my head. |

Lord Flashheart?
|
|
By:
very disappointed that was not me tbh reb?
|
|
By:
Glad you all enjoyed it
Lapsy and Wonks yet to show up to take their bow.Funnily enough I did have Kingrat in as Lord Flashheart but his scenes were cut! Borneo, surprised you never caught the series, well worth a look. |
|
By:
Ozy you should know by now Pa Lapsy does not do humour in any shape or form.
|
|
By:
Certainly one of the great tv comedy series of all time especially the last 2, Its a pity Borneo never saw Blackadder he would have enjoyed General Melchett; not to sure if W/R would like to be Portrayed as Baldrick ;Brilliantly played by Sir Tony Robinson. Welldone ozy

pa is rumbled by this whole panto thing imo!
|
|
By:
Pity there isn't a hippo part for you.
|
|
By:
Pa is annoyed, lack of any sort of wit is costing him dearly on this thread, he fails to see the funny side of Ozy posts.
|
|
By:
Clearly didn't want any part in this xmas panto by the looks of it!
Seems to have a new found fascination with hippo's now for some odd reason... |

By:
If you go down to Djakadam hennessey thread you compared Monbeg Dude to one and said he hadn't a hope in hell,he was 4th at 25/1,go back and read your comments at me.
|
|
By:
Yes I did say it hadn't a hope in hell and never at any stage looked like winning, was beaten out of sight, if they went around on 4 more circuits it might have finished closer
|
|
By:
^ 19 and 1/4 lengths, for the win but it wasn't about that and says a lot about your fill your boots,wannabe touty tipstere approach to betting.
|
|
By:
Beaten 19lts is beaten out of sight in my book anyway, don't know about you. If i fancy one its on the nose, none of this ew malarky. The way I see it if you fancy it strongly enough to win why would you halve your stake by playing ew?
|
|
By:
It is possible to fancy a horse to run well and get a place,the ratio of 1:1 doesn't have to apply at all in regards both bets,that is elementary.
