Charlie Endell Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) It was the great man's funeral today - I knew he liked a flutter and clocked on the Order of Service sheet that there was a request that any donations should be made to the Injured Jockeys Fund.

One of the most famous titfers known to man. Inspector Blakey expired the day as well - shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora MaDonald Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 You cannot compare that Blakey character with the legend that is Arfur Daley. RIP George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Aye, a sad day, Waterman looked visibly upset. Why? Had he not invited you like? I've never understood why somebody would gatecrash a funeral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Free drink, soup and steak pie - usually well worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindimoo Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 WTF is a 'fern cake'? Sounds bowfing. It's a bakewell tart with a chocolate fern patter on top instead of a cherry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) It's a bakewell tart with a chocolate fern patter on top instead of a cherry.Ah, that sounds much more appetising . I'm still struggling to recall seeing one though...Good to see George's thread has now surpassed the Scouse crone's.

Charlie Endell Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) I even had to look up Mary Berry - hadn't heard of her either! On reflection I definitely prefer a cherry on top - makes a bakewell. Edited August 14, 2015 by Charlie Endell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Was in Zulu too I think? I've finally got round to watching Zulu - what a cracking film - Stanley Baker (greatest Welshman ever), Caine, Jack Hawkins, Glynn Edwards, James Booth, Neil McCarthy... Introduction by Richard Burton (second greatest Welshman). Edited August 15, 2015 by Charlie Endell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
