Congrats from me and my mouse too.

What will you be doing as Moderator btw?
Do you throw the pies rather than make them?
Your fans and followers need to be told
:wink:

Congratulations on your new post DD. Of course, the only use for any post is to be tied to it and severely pied!

I have a complaint (don't worry - it's not catching

) for the new moderator: - DD, having watched you sing "On the Good Ship Lollipop" on Gilly's Silly House a few weeks ago, I can't get the damned tune out of my head

. Please don't sing it ever again on anything I might look at.

I enjoyed the pies though

- Just noticed, two 'very happies' spell DD.

You should worry. I filmed it and edited it! And I suffer from a sort of Crap Song Autism so it stuck in my brain for weeks...

I forgive her though.

Altogether now...

"On the Good Ship Lollipop...etc etc"

Catch it again in Brighton in November LIVE

Now that's a good song (Flanders & Swann - "The Hippopotamus Song"). I would enjoy hearing Mercedes singing that in an appropriate setting.

You can't beat a good bit of Flanders & Swann. Now there was wit and elegance by the bucketload! I love the 1950s revue era. Gentle wit that seems to be so out of fashion these days. (I think I must have been born in the wrong era!) Joyce Grenfell springs to mind too. Maybe DD will be able to re-enact the "George! Don't do that!" catchphrase while moderating! LoL.

Oh dear...if Bill goes to Warrington, you two will have so much to talk about! He can recite most of At the Drop of a Hat and bits from the follow up. That, Raymond Baxter and buses...thank God, I'm working that weekend! LOL

Have you seen "Kit and the Widow" Claymore - a latter day Flanders and Swann. An intelligent musical cabaret duo, but, IMO, much funnier - their satire is quite savage at times. Remember the images a few years back now of the queen with a half dead pheasant in her hand - I can still recall the chorus of the song they wrote at the time - "With a quivering cock in each hand...." (http://www.kitandthewidow.com, I think - their first double CD is superb too)

At the risk of adding to the tangental nature for which this forum is justifiably renowned (and frankly much loved by me anyway), it is a bit unfair to compare Flanders and Swann with Kit and the Widow. Their intended audiences are somewhat different. You only have to look at the pictures on the At the Drop of a Hat album and see the audience all in dinner jackets presumably about to enjoy a theatre supper in the West End, and realise that entertainment of that kind simply doesn't exist any more. Kit and the Widow are much more modern in outlook and material - hence the nob gags.

However I was reminded listening to F&S on CD recently how presient their "Terribly House & Garden" song is. Written in the late 50s/early 60s, if ever anything predicted the decoration and horticultural makeover obsession it is that. Witness the great line "The garden's full of furniture and the house is full of plants..."

Now don't get me started on My Pink Half of the Drainpipe by the Bonzos...now that would have to be a Desert Island Disk.

I know, I'll stop now before DD puts her Moderator hat on and tells me I'm getting boring!
