I was usure about "quaintly dated" jo anne.

As soon as I posted it, it didn't seem quite right. Mr Dickens is obviously from another time but there is a certain charm to it. Though sometimes it can be twee there are many laughs to be had. (Probably funnier due to the old fashioned language)


Probably before your time, but there was a great sketch featuring these men in a Dickensian type scene in a tavern. The joke being that as more and more characters were met, the names got dafter. It started with a Mister Fezzypeg and a Mister Chizzelbum and ended up with confusion between Mister Rum Tiddly Um Pum and a chap named Mister Rum Tiddly Um Pum Pum-Pum.

There then appeared a Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible image on the screen, with the continuity announcer apologising for the "outbreak of silly names".


The Google Gang have been no help in finding the sketch though. And I tried repeatedly.

Speaking of the gang, they helped me with a new word.

Whilst looking into motorway construction, I looked at this song.

"The spike"?
