Stridgel

Which telly advert was one of those mentioned on?

Set in a call centre, two actors, one possibly Eileen Grimshaw of Coronation Street (Sue Cleaver), other a younger bloke, bit dopey.

And was it Adam Hart Davies who informed us what happened to the stuff scraped off by the things (sweat, muck, oil sebum etc.)?

Bugger, it's 'Strigil'.

I've said it before and i'll say it again

I do worry

You'd worry if I explained what brought it to mind.

Not a clue for the first question.
For the second question, yes it was. Slaves ate it for tea.

No, posh women bought it.

To tempt slaves to pop round for tea.

Oscar Pistorius has those

They thought it was healthhy to drink.

Are you impersonating a far Eastern Gentleman?

'ow many Aitches?

YOUMILERATED!

I'd look for some Roman Galley Slaves, but the last time I had a mooch, they were all nakky women from some naughty film.

Am away to look for Galley slaves before the opening ceremony.

If you say 'My Cocaine' really loudly, you are saying 'Michael Caine' in his own voice.

I heard one yestarday about saying something which looks at though you are saying 'I love you'.

But I forget what it was.

Olive juice, but Popeye will be furious.

The galley slaves were taking a rest after a full day rowing under merciless sun with the sound of the slave driver's gong still ringing in their ears.
"It's not the captain's waterskiing that bothers me so much" said one slave to his shipmate. "It's that gong, gong, gong every two seconds. I'm going to get rid of it"
The slaves decide that under cover of darkness, they would lift the gong from its chains and throw it overboard.
"We can't do it like that" suggested one of the plotters "They would be sure to hear us - we'll have to find a way to slip it quietly into the water".
So that night, six of the slaves lifted the heavy gong and carried it carefully to the stern of the galley - but there was no way to slip the gong into the water without banging it noisily on the boat.
"I have it! - I'll slip under the rail and hold on with my back to the stern, then I will act as a slide for you to ease the gong over my body and quietly into the water", said the brightest of the slaves.
This was working perfectly, when suddenly the slave driver appeared behind the plotters.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he shouted.
To a man, the men sprang to attention, and burst into song ...

One, two, three -

"We're sliding a gong on the chest of a slave ...."

There was a Native American in the verson I know.

You racist thug you ....

I don't think Olive was a Native American. Name her Brother. (Bowt Googling)

Stan

Caster

Stan Oyl!...Have you been Googling?

Pollocks!

Look at me lovely thread.

I had the misfortune of watching an episode of that recently, Stan injured himself in the bathroom and had to get to work to claim it was a work related injury. Pulling teeth was funnier.

Ah, the stairs incident.

They had quite a few bathroom stories.

I didn't like it. I wanted to drag him up the sodding stairs myself before Blakey went up-It was Soooo obvious!

I also stumbled across a programme called 'Hamish Macbeth'. Dear God!

More innocent times.

No 'Accident Group' then.

Or sexual harassment and racism charges in the workplace.

Anyroad, what as the advert?

And who's the signing woman? (She's not the one who I put a pic on, of)

I dunno, that's why I bumped the threaad, so you could enlighten us. I have barely slept a wink.

I don't know.

It was a cry for help.

Silly me decided to have a wee Google for the answer to no avail.
I did, however, discover this snippet:
However reports are coming in that her understudy is very disappointed not to be standing in for her and will return to advertising Sugar Puffs.

The Honeymonster
Quaker Oats/Big Bear Co
via The Giant Actor Agency
Manchester

Never mind that, find me a pic of that signing woman off the telly.

Here she is

No.

But I know her pussy's name, bowt googling.

This may be she. Oglefakes are throwing me.
