Random quotes for AYBS-A!/G&F

[John Inman Fan]

First of all thanks to Sienna for the original idea!

Adding a post for AYBS-Again! (Grace & Favor).

Any quotes from that series you find yourself saying once in awhile or often?

Mine is "Skies all streaky-rain for a weeky!" which I say quite a bit since Ohio is a pretty rainy/gloomy state.:lol:

Nice thread, JIF, looking forward to some good quotes!

[amy2005]

i seem to randomly get quotes from this in my head as well as from aybs... the one that keeps popping up at the minute is 'but they were happy' (from when mavis explains to mr humphries about some of the people they end up being) :)

[BasilBJr]

"When yer pullin' the chain, watch out for the brain"


RUMBOLD: There'll be seceturs in the shed

PEACOCK: If not they'll be non-seceturs


MISS BRAHMS AS ROSIE BELL: I just found out I'm pregnant, but I'm Happy

MR HUMPHRIES AS MAD JED: Who's the father?

MISS BRAHMS: It be you Jed, are you happy?

MR HUMPHRIES: I'm Flabbergasted.


CECIL G SLOCOMBE: I haven't been the Sainsbury's for forty years

MRS SLOCOMBE AS MRS MOULTERD: Well where the bloody hell have you been in the mean time?

[cpl.er...Capt. Joe]

"I can't find my knickers anywhere!"

[Sienna]

"Take a cat from the wall, bad luck shall befall!"

[cpl.er...Capt. Joe]

"There goes another full bottle of gin!":slocombe:

Actually I don't say that as much as I would like to!

[cpl.er...Capt. Joe]

Whenever someone asks me to do two things, I frequently re-write this one and use it:

Mavis: "Time for you to rise and shine!"
Humphries: "Give me a minute, and I think I can manage a shine."

I usually pick whichever is the easiest or least helpful.


Not quite quotes, but physical comedy I've lifted from Mr. Humphries:

Anytime someone asks me to help carry things, I go straight for the littlest one and groan under the strain!

(Another one of my favorites - although it is used twice in AYBS? and not in G&F - is Mr. Humphries rising up everytime he opens his umbrella. I do that every time!)

[Cat_Lover]

Sorry to barge in when you've got your snouts in the trough.

[cpl.er...Capt. Joe]

http://www.minki.net/aybsforum/picture.php?albumid=6&pictureid=216 That is one of my favorites, but I rarely remember to use it. :D

I found myself using "Decisions, decisions!" (when Humphries had Malcome's arrow stuck to his hat) on my facebook page today.

[BasilBJr]

MRS SLOCOMBE - Mr Moulterd, will you please keep it down!

MR MOULTERD - That'll be a job with you about.


MRS SLOCOMBE - Mind you I was quite good behind the wicket

MR MOULTERD - Not half as good as you was behind the side screen.


MR MOULTERD - Was it all in me imagination when you was in the Miss lovely Legs Contest in 1942 in Tiverton?

MRS SLOCOMBE - I have no recollection of that

MR MOULTERD - Who won a lobster for coming in third

MISS BRAHMS - How many were there?

[Lady Stableforth]

mine would be when they found out that Mr. Conklin wanted to be satisfied and they all looked at Mr. Humphries-
"Well dont' look at me...!:humphries01:

"MR HUMPHRIES: I wouldn't think it was normal having a pump in one's pijamas.

Mr. Humphries -"He wouldn't give me the strap would he?"
Mavis - "Look your not going to talk all night are you?"
Mr. Humphries - "I'm not even going to move"

[BasilBJr]

MAVIS - There's something we can't see trying to tell us something we don't know

MR HUMPHRIES - Very likely.

CAPT. PEACOCK, after seeing mavis and Mr Humphries thrashing in their bed. - Nothing supernatural, certainly unusual.


RUMBOLD - I just heard a loud singing in the bathroom

PEACOCK - I suppose they have to go just like everybody else

RUMBOLD - Can I come in with you?

PEACOCK - No, I'll come in with you.

[Sienna]

Mrs Slocombe: Well, it got to be twenty past twelve and he still hadn't come back.
Miss Brahms: So what did you do?
Mrs Slocombe: I had marge on my toast.

This one has me in stitches every time I hear it :emotlol:

[Lady Stableforth]

Mrs. Slocombe -OHH! Just imagine! a 200 year old pussy...

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Mrs. Slocombe - "I have a pussy of great antiquity."

I often wonder... how early do you have to wake up in order get up before "sparrow fart"?

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

The question is "Why would you want to be up be a sparrow farts" ?? and besides, how would you know that sparrow farted ?

[cpl.er...Capt. Joe]

That is what is so intriguging?... ...intrigueing?... puzzling about the idea of a "sparrow fart". I would guess all animals do it. But what is the smallest size animal that is large enough to produce one loud enough for humans to hear? And aren't cheeks necessary to produce the identifiable rattle? From a cheekless animal like a sparrow, wouldn't it produce more of a whistley sound? Do the feathers have the same effect as a silencer has on a gun? Can a strong one blow some feathers off? Or would you have to rely purely on smell to detect the sparrow fart?

Unlike humans that make cheese, what smell do sparrows compare their's to?
Do sparrows also use the phrase "He who smelt it, dealt it" when one of them cuts loose in a flock?

Was that a common country saying? Where did the saying originate? While funny, didn't it seem un-Mavis-like for her to say?

I'll have to remember these questions when conversation runs low on my next date.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

This kind of explains the whole "Sparrow Fart" thing.

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sparrow-fart

[sonosun]

I would be surprised to find that sparrows or indeed any birds fart. Their whole system is designed to let fly with any leavings the moment they form. They can't hold back. Gas wouldn't be able to create any pressure. :)

[cpl.er...Capt. Joe]

:slochead1:"It smells of old priest!"

Another curious smell from G&F I'm not sure I want to detect!

[BasilBJr]

MR HUMPHRIES - "It's not what you think."

MISS BRAHMS - "It's not just what I think, we all think it."

[BasilBJr]

Unlike humans that make cheese, what smell do sparrows compare their's to?
Do sparrows also use the phrase "He who smelt it, dealt it" when one of them cuts loose in a flock?:lol::lol::lol:

Maybe they would say something like "Who cut the worm"?

Instead of saying someone laid an egg would they instead say "Who had a live birth"?

Jingle Bells, Birdman smells
Avenger had a live birth

OT, but if something is called a dinosaur, do they take it as an insult to their family?

[sonosun]

:slochead1:"It smells of old priest!"

Another curious smell from G&F I'm not sure I want to detect!

My Brit history isn't up to snuff, but the Catholic priests who didn't flee England after they were outlawed used to hide in some strange places. Many old houses still have a priest hole where the priest hid in case the authorities showed up.

Particularly during the reign of the Puritan dictator Oliver Cromwell.

INSPECTOR - "Let me see if I understand this. Mr Humphries sleeps with the Farmer's Daughter, Miss Lovelock sleeps with the groom and an Irish Arab, and Captain Peacock sleeps with Miss Brahms and Mrs. Slocombe. Is that right?

MR HUMPHRIES - "It'll do for now."

MAVIS - "...I've got a nice big bun in the oven"

INSPECTOR - "Get in the car, Colin! The next time you lot find a gun, don't call the Police, call the Army and tell them to bring a social worker and a priest!"

And me! --- only the other day it was pouring down in buckets outside, and my umbrella stuck, and I tried to rise up but it wouldn't open, and then finally it opened and I was not expecting it and was late with the whole rising up thing.
