Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank!

Also, there was "Arm Wrestling with Chas and Dave" and "Monkey Tennis", "Inner City Sumo", "Cooking in Prison". I just recited that from memory, is that good or verrrrrry bad?

A mate of mine met chas and dave, and got them to pose an arm wrestle (I've posted the picture on here before biggrin).

There's more to Ireland dan dis.
Alan: Now I must say I’m very grateful you’ve come over – big fans of all the Irish…stuff. Love your pop music, Enya, and the other one – ripped up the Pope, bald chap? And I think… that’s it.

Aidan: Well, there’s U2, of course.

Alan: Oh, well, yeah. Fantastic. ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’. What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn’t it? You wake up in the morning, you’ve got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you’ve got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think “Sunday, bloody Sunday!”.

Aidan: I really hate to do this to you, Alan, but it’s actually a song about –

Paul: Yeah, bloody Sunday is actually about a massacre in Derry in 1972.

Alan: A massacre? Ugh. I’m not playing that again.

hehe

Dave Clifton: "oh come on, what's the matter Alan, cone you take a joke"
AP:" oh F*ck off"
DC: "I am speechless, Dave clifton is actually speechless"
AP: "I wish you were"
DC: "Me and you both know dead air IS a crime, and I'm shocked that you have to fill it with swearing on your show"
AP: "Actually Dave, you're bang wrong, its two minutes past seven, its your show, I am technically a guest and you have failed to control me.... read the small print on your CONE-tract"
"Fanny!"

I think I could recite each episode word for word, I really am that sad. Love it though and I'm always using "Partridgisms" randomly in daily life. My favourite is "Ahhh Ladyboys". Always guaranteed a strange look.

Also Michael has some great lines.

Michael- "Do you want us to take out Sue Cook"
AP- "God no!.... Oh I see"

Michael "And move and fire, move and fire"
AP "GET BACK IN THE LIFT LYNNE!!"

AP- "Tell me about the ladyboys"
Michael (tells story about a mate in the armys experience with a ladyboy)
"So he thinks I've come this far right, so he flips him over, grabs hold of the hold meat and two veg and ffff......(Noticing Lynne has just walked in) ....ffffunily enough it lands on its wheels, starts first time and they just drive off"

AP (whilst being felated by Jill in a darkened hotel room) "What do you think of the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre?"
"It'll make it easier for people in whHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLLchairs"

Makes me laugh just typing it... I could go on all day! - But i'm off to watch the dvd instead

"That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains they 'Paved paradise to put up a parking lot', a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn't quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song."

I love it when Forbes McAllister dies in KMKY after Alan shoots him. He then forgets his name and Glen Ponder helps him out:

"Forbes - Glen? - McAllister!"

The banter between Alan and Glen was hilarious, especially when Glen and the others went to the show when they were in Paris, and nobody told Alan. So Alan sacked Glen and replaced them with triple platinum band the Eagles, but Glen issued a court injunction etc etc. Oh - happy days - makes me laugh just thinking about it.

Reading this thread is proof - if proof be need be - that it really is classic comedy. I thought I'm Alan Partridge tailed off towards the end, but I still find myself rewatching episodes whenever I see them on the TV.

I have actually used that quote while listening to that song in the car.... My mates thought I was making a serious comment and started questioning my views on Traffic congestion.

Some other favourites:

"The Queen is Dead, long live the King........ Singers" (After Song) "I have to re-iterate Queen Elizabeth the second is not dead"

"You sond like a James Bond Villan, Dr No........ Vocal Chords"

"Lynne, you couldn't present a...... cat"

"You feed beef burgers to ducks"

"Sorry I ment to say a spinal column in a bagette, not a bap"

Michael "I've seen some terrible things"
Alan "What like 3 men burning in a tank"

"Tell me about the lady boys"

"Move and Fire, Move and Fire!"

Receptionist "Bill Oddy Called"
Alan "did he leave a message"
Receptionist "no"
Alan "He never does"

I can read you like a book. But not a very good book. Certainly not Bravo 2-0 by Andy McNab which actually gets better with every read.
