It was always a pleasure watching Dave Allen on TV in the 70’s. It was a family event and what a fantastic story teller. It great to have RU-vid to see him whenever I want.
Dave Allen. You wake to the clock, you go to work to the clock, you clock-in to the clock, you clock out to the clock, you come home to the clock, you eat to the clock, you drink to the clock, you go to bed to the clock, you get up to the clock, you go back to work to the clock... You do that for forty years of your life and you retire - what do they fucking give you? A clock
@@mrserus7164 I was young so half the time I didn’t understand the one. But seeing my dad laugh made me laugh. As I got older I to my teens the jokes started making sense. Now that I’m 55 I’m pissing myself at how funny that stuff was. Him and Benny Hill. Man oh man.
On 18th May 1997 I saw a leprechaun, in velvet emerald coat and hat and shiny buckles, on a stile near Clifden in Connemara- he was crooning Galway Bay. I bade him good morning and we enjoyed a friendly little chat while he puffed on his pipe but then i ruined it by reaching for a camera and with a wink he was gone.
I believe you because I saw that self same leprechaun and he told me that one fine day he was singing Galway Bay in Connemara a fellow came along and they had a chat. Only when the bloke turned to reach for his camera did the leprechaun bugger off! And believe it or not, this was on the 20th May 1997! 😲 I didn't believe him at the time, but your story seems to tie in nicely.
Allen is as great now as when I first encountered him. He doesn't wilt with age. Rare in comedy world, not sure if any of the old greats seem fresh now. Seinfeld ages well too but as ensemble, Jerry solo I find well to put it kindly no Dave Allen.
His rival gets twice as much. So if the leprechaun reduces the man's desire for women by 50 percent, his rival's desire will be reduced by 100 percent, and he'll no longer desire the 20 beautiful women in his house.
Well he was an agnostic and he died a few years ago. My favorite bit of his was Jesus standing at the front door of a man knocking and shouting "Jeremy! Jeremy! Let me in I want to save you!" Jeremy repied, "Save me from what?" Said the Lord, "From what I'm gonna do to you if you don't let me in!"
