Loved Dave Allen - but freaked out at the lack of digit at times

He just had great timing

 

[Mrs Turbo]

Does he know a bloke called Dave?

No - but I believe he is friends with David

I remember a skit he did - a funeral procession going through the streets of Belfast, with a guy at the front doing an awful job at playing the bagpipes. Suddenly the coffin lid opens, and the dead body sits up and says, "Will you shut up - it's enough to waken the dead!!!"

 

[Mrs Turbo]

Howd'y to you Team SA

 

[Braklet]

The Allies, hey?

Can't wait to take a specky over Churchill.

I'm in serious danger of Godwinning the game thread...

 

[Braklet]

I'm funnier than that Dave.

 

[Brenton Davy]

That man was a genius.

He was. I loved the jokes where they dimmed the lights and he’d tell what sounded like was going to be a horror story but had a humorous punchline.

Hi All.

I feel a bit sorry for the South Australians here,

Imagine being the Red-headed step child of states.

I had no idea!

And yet here are the Allies - a bastard mix of adopted identities looking for validation

You misspelled "self-confident individuals, bonded into a team unified by choice, not accident."

 

[sausageroll]

bonded? ...unified? ...by choice?

Are you really going with that?

In the last SoO series a lot of the Allies players did everything they could to dump the rest of their Allies team mates and leave them without an option for SoO. Thankfully, they were not granted that choice.

Yes, I'm really going with that.

The NSW people may well have a legit claim to their own SoO team, and I'm not one to question anyone else's patriotic urges.

As one of the few Internationals, I am clearly Allied by choice, and I'm not the only one.

So this game I come up against my Bombers captain Pugsley where he sees himself as some sort of caged fighter



He’ll be so worn out by 1/4 time



I’ll have him in the palm of my hand.. come at me Bruiser

Notice I only pick on the scrawny runt of the litter. His bark is worse than his bite

I'm.a cute mutt.

Normally self praise is no praise at all, but in this instance it's completely justified.

 

[ShaunDuggan]

Not sure if there was meant to be an on in there or not.

I'll let my imagination run wild.
