One of a very small list of the greatest comedy shows ever. Paul,Evanston From: peter rafter <[email protected]> To: mogtalk2 <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 9:25 AM Subject: [mogtalk2] re inappropriate use of badges-- definitely mog
There has been a thread in The Times re inappropriate use of badges etc --prompted I think by a pompous army officer reprimanding a lady for wearing a submariners/dolphin badge? However of all the responses, todays gets the biscuit--I reproduce it below: After some debate about the use of official badges and pins, it is a relief to turn to the Goon Show for some light relief Sir, The correspondence about inappropriate use of badges etc (letters, June 14, 16 and 18) calls to mind an exchange in the Goon Show. Eccles: Yeah. Winds light to variable. I'm practicing, you know. Greenslade: Don't tell me you're applying for the post of announcer? Eccles: Oh, yeah! And I'll get it too, you'll see! I'm wearing a Cambridge tie! Greenslade: You? You were at Cambridge? Eccles: Yeah! Greenslade: What were you doing there? Eccles: Buying a tie. peter View posts on The Mail Archive http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Modify Your Subscription ------------------------------------------- View posts on The Mail Archive http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ [http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/] Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=22459785&id_secret=22459785-4a39ddf8 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
