"Perhaps at this point, in order to gain the full live experience, you'd like to pause the DVD for 20 minutes, go to the kitchen, grab a beer and throw £4 in the bin."
Funny thing, I saw his Standing Up and Falling Down tour, came into the bar/waiting area before, trying to disguise himself with a hoodie and a massive pair of headphones. Really didn't work, my mate Dan had a breakdown, and I spoke to him, much to the shock and awe of my then partner. I want to start a campaign "separate bars for performers, so I don't have to scare them with my Sherlock detective abilities"
i think he's funnier than Dara, i enjoy the Mock The Weeks where Ed is a guest; altho, Dara makes for a good host, i can't imagine Mock The Week without him
True story, when I was picking out my wedding ring the sales guy tried to sell me on platinum over white gold. I asked what the difference was and he said “$800.” That was the entire explanation. They literally looked exactly the same. I took the white gold.
Million times better than Peter Kay and Michael McIntyre put together The "chess with a chimpanzee" line isn't what he actually said, in reality he said "The most interesting thing about you is the fact that you've just met me" XD
The not seeing the wife in the dress before the wedding is a weird one it goes back to when there were arranged marriages, the parents were afraid if the wife saw the husband just before the wedding since she didn't know what he looked like she would run away so they were forbidden to see each other.
Honestly, I have never understood the desire for a big fancy expensive wedding. It seems wasteful to me. All that money could better have been spent investing in your future together. My wedding cost maybe $100. We drove from Alabama to Tennessee to be with my family. We went to the courthouse to sign the papers and pay the money. Then we walked across the street to the justice of the peace who was also a real estate agent. My family and new husband and I went out to eat at a buffet before we headed back to Alabama. We have been married for 14 years now and we have no regrets about not wasting money on a big wedding.
Yes! Well done! I don't know when the wedding became more "important" than the marriage. It seems like a lot more time, money, thought, and effort goes into an event last a few hours than a life that's supposed to last a few decades. Smh.
My wife and I have a theory that the more money people spend the shorter the marriage will be. Or maybe more accurately it's the less you feel you need to spend on a wedding the happier the relationship is.
Ok but the bit about the wedding planner is so goddamn true; but especially from a staff point of view, imagine being a sad (5'4) 16 year old, getting £5 an hour to bring out plates of food at a wedding you weren't invited to and suddenly you have some 6 foot 4 prick in your face telling you you're a moron for carrying the plates two at a time... WHAT!? I am an uncoordinated feeble female carrying heavy plates that cost more than the arms I'm carrying them with and you yell insults at me for... ?
timazipan Really? Just because they didn't capitalise the first word? On the internet, that's not exactly a terrible crime as far as spelling and punctuation errors go.
Ed Byrne I must speak in our language... Irish slang: 'bout ye, that woman was a melt but what the her mail said... well I'll go to the foot of me stairs!
Yes, Mr Ed, Kings Lynn is weird, because it's in FUCKING NORFOLK, and the only good thing that ever came out of there is Stephen Fry, and repeated beatings of so-called "Jimmy Starr"
I recently watched a comical and insightful interview with Ed Byrne talking about his career highlights. Check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EfFEiaMY31s.html
Was enjoying it until he said that earthquakes in England are caused by tectonic activity and my brain with the limited GCSE geography knowledge just went NO thats wrong!
Happened to catch him on Live at the Apollo. Embarrassing set. Audience barely laughed and his "casual vomit" stuff Billy Connolly did 30 years ago. Time to stop, Ed. Just being Irish doesn't cut it any more.
