Hilarious - the scripts from the TV series - just takes you right back there!
I only half-liked Fawlty Towers when watching it. I thought that it might be something in the language barrier (not being a mother-tounge English speaker myself), or maybe a cultural understanding that is needed. The book didn't make it better. At some parts I just got annoyed as the comedy tried to force itself upon me - at such times when Fawlty (it's usually him) chooses to make an absolutely idiotic and illogical choice, one that most people won't do, and then the consequences become unavoid...
UpdateI have just enough time, I think, to do this while the water is heating up. I say this with no expectation.So, I'm lying in bed this morning licking something to make it stiff - this has to be done perfectly, no dribbling, that would spoilt the effect - and then when it is ready you want to slide it in and this has to be gentle.

"Basil: Don't mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it. So it's all forgotten now and let's hear no more about it. So that's two egg mayonnaise, a prawn Goebbels, a Herman Goering and four Colditz salads....no, wait a minute...I got confused because everyone keeps mentioning the war.German: Will you stop mentioning the war?Basil: You started it.German: We did not start it.Basil: Yes you did, you invaded Poland!""Sybil: If I find out the money on that horse was yours,
So my daily poetry initiative has proven itself a mixed grocery bag of the fruitful, the fruitless, and the oftentimes downright fruity. Entirely proud I am of my latest creation, The Last Rose of Summer , whereby I deftly illustrate my foray into the medical condition known as puppy love by introducing one Elizabeth Schoolbred, now deceased, a former tomboy that I once had the pleasure to size up for quality footwear consideration near a romantic cottage in Morris Bay. As I was only part-tim...
