However I'll have to hand back the starsfor the Jim Nelson reference. Not who I was thinking of. And I think the chubby BDSM whipped creaminess probably belongs in another forum altogether. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48290#post-139101 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:54:43 +0000 Perks 139101@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>And one more, good job. 5 skinny *s </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48290#post-139100 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:52:40 +0000 FlashArry 139100@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Another voice to add to the acclaim - excellent post : more stars</p> <p>GBH - wasn't the unravelling of Robert Lindsay's character a belter too ? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48290#post-139088 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:11:36 +0000 Anonymous 139088@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Go on, have some starts, here's 5....and 5 more for "Jim Nelson"......</p> <p>Jim Nelson, one of the greatest characters ever created by Alan Bleasdale, played by Michael Palin in the oh so fantastic GBH or BGH...Bleasdale Gets Hatton!

So I figured a Grande Cappuccino would look a bit more hip and retro." </p> <p>However the Cappuccino decision was overturned by his brain as he admired her lustrous dark hair and pondered whether she may actually have Italian heritage. "I was trying to remember the rule they have in Italy, is it no cappuccino before lunch, or after lunch?" he explained, "It was a coffee etiquette minefield." </p> <p>Finally, inspiration struck as Nelson settled on a "sophisticated but still masculine" single espresso to be accompanied by almond biscotti. Carrot cake had been ruled out as "potentially effeminate" and he was unsure that he could effectively get across the idea that he was having the double chocolate cake because he was really hungry after one of his regular gym workouts in the time allotted for his beverage transaction. </p> <p>Finally reaching the front of the line, Nelson was pleased that he managed to complete his order successfully -- improvising at the last minute to demonstrate his caring nature by ensuring the coffee was Fair Trade -- before paying for his drink with a twenty pound note, rather than the pile of 20ps he’d been intending to use. </p> <p>The euphoric feelings engendered by the warm smile he received from the attractive Starbucks employee were only slightly marred by his blurting out "I love you!" as she asked for his name for the cup, and directed him towards the milk and sugar. </p>
