Wanted to try and capture that sense of "now you mention it..." that I suspect a lot of people are feeling - write the word "Chari-dee" on the elephant's back and it becomes invisible... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49101#post-141633 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 14:16:55 +0000 beau-jolly 141633@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thanks. Passed me by and I should have known! Antiguan isn't it - don't see it much around these parts! More recognisable brands may be Pussers or Woods or Lambs if you want to avoid Capt Morgan.</p> <p>Any hoo. Loved the sub.

The Captain (71) first rose to fame in a series of TV commercials in the 1970s, where he served up large platters of breadcrumbed fish to young children. He has long been considered a great British eccentric, infamous for his raucous west country mannerisms and bachelor lifestyle - living with his mother (93) in Port Isaac.</p> <p>He is receiving the honour for what The Palace is describing as “Tireless charitable work.” Birdseye founded the “Fishface Foundation” in 1976, where vulnerable young teenagers spend a fortnight sailing across the Bay of Biscay with the Captain.</p> <p>He remained a fixture on children’s TV for three decades with his “Jolly Roger” series where young people wrote in to appear on the show and be awarded a “Jolly Roger” from the jovial host as he swigged on his trademark glass of Lamb.</p> <p>“It’s hard to believe we have overlooked the Cap’n for so long.” confessed a source close to The Palace. “He embodies everything that is great about this country - I can't believe we didn't see that many years ago." </p> <p>"And I must admit I'm a big fan of his spicy goujons too." </p>
