I once saw him in the Angel(?) pub in Henley in early 1990's, and after an afternoon session, drunkenly badgered him with Mr Jolly quotes from across the pub ("It's Nicholas bloody Parsons !" / "Look Nicholas, I'm a fire extinguisher!" etc ad nauseum....) - suprisingly he didn't think I was a comedy genius. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12416#post-125782 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 08:01:00 +0000 Stan Laurel 125782@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Which would you prefer? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12416#post-125781 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 07:59:00 +0000 waylandsmithy 125781@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Stan, is that link safe, or is it porn? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12416#post-125771 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 06:34:19 +0000 Stan Laurel 125771@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.metro.co.uk/lifestyle/901685-richard-herring-just-a-minutes-nicholas-parsons-is-a-living-legend">Richard Herring on Nicholas Parsons</a> </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12416#post-34194 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 05:27:03 +0000 riesler 34194@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Fred Carr-Boyle is really good. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12416#post-34193 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 05:19:43 +0000 Gerontius 34193@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yep, a good podcast.

For shame sir.</p> <p>Better than someone just saying 'do you know who I am?' is when they add; 'I... (pause) am an actor'. and then push past you. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12416#post-34030 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 15:17:29 +0000 Doctor Moptop 34030@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>A comedian du jour was asked to reopen the newly-refurbished library in his very supportive home town. He asked for £3K for a 15 minute appearance, which didn't earn him many friends. Better to say he was unavailable, if he didn't want the gig. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12416#post-34029 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 15:11:28 +0000 Sinnick 34029@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>The "comedian" I never liked was Bob Monkhouse. He did a Corporate some 30 years ago, when he was in his prime. I sat at the front, and a couple of my (black) friends were nearby. Monkhouse was rat-arsed, read his jokes from a piece of paper, some of which were seriously racist. And he received £5K for this. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12416#post-34024 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 14:45:25 +0000 Doctor Moptop 34024@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>If anyone does the Do You Know Who I Am?

I moved up front and asked if she had her passport. She said she had and I said well look at the name on that and see if it rings any bells.</p> <p>She clearly didn't recognise it because she kind of combusted on the spot. A fella behind shouted 'She's a twat' and so we at least had a surname to go on. I never did find out what the 'A' stood for.</p> <p>It all took just a minute. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12416#post-33997 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 11:20:52 +0000 thisisall1word 33997@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>My mate's dad was a delivery driver for teh drinks trade and once parked up in the early hours of the morning on a SoHo side street - Nicholas Parsons couldn't get his car around the lorry and so went and had a word - I'm glad to report his opening gambit to the conversation was 'Don't you know who I am'.</p> <p>Not a big fan - Humph was a treasure - Parsons is an arse </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12416#post-33969 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 09:11:08 +0000 riesler 33969@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Mmm jam... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12416#post-33967 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 09:10:36 +0000 riesler 33967@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>What is the Pope's view on Knickerless Parsons? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12416#post-33966 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 09:09:43 +0000 riesler 33966@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>So good you used it twice? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=12416#post-33965 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 09:06:24 +0000 Doctor Moptop 33965@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I often use one of Nicholas's lines from JAM.

Catch him while you still can..... </p>
