I know exactly what you mean!

[Robert]

You do? Gee that's swell.

You do? Gee that's swell.

Nice one!

I actually attended his old school, Rutherglen Academy.

A young journalist interviewed Ollie's widow in the late 60's and started off the interview by describing Ollie as "gentleman".
Ollie's widow pulled him up on this, saying that he was making the mistake everyone made when talking about Ollie.
She said that Ollie was more than a gentleman, he was a "gentle man".

God, I miss these guys.

[Robert]

Yes, a truly adorable man. These two are my all-time favourites.

And now they're both gone. What could be worse?

Steadmund Brand--

Erroll had to pretend to be a Yankarian.

As it was women swooned whenever his name was mentioned, f he had turned on the full Aussie charm there would have been dead women everywhere, they would not have been able to take it.

BTW 55 years ago today he died. Of a heart attack of all things wonder what he did that put stress on his heart?

The Cultural Attache to the Court of St James.

A mate of mine was at the first ever appearance, at a Uni review, of Dame Edna.

History in the making, GUT, though I prefer Sir Les.

Humphries is a very funny man. I heard that he used to play pranks on people, whereby he'd dress up as a tramp and hide some jewellery and unopened champagne bottles in a dustbin outside a swanky hotel. He'd wait till a posh person came along, and then ostentatiously rummage in the bin and pull out the contents.

G'day Robert

Have you seen this bloke

I also knew a bloke who was at Uni in UK when a band came and asked could they put on a free gig at lunch time, as with most Unis the answer YES. It was the bloke Norman was interviewing in the clip above with his new band.

[Robert]

Ah, yes, didn't he crack a joke that wasn't in that clip?

"What do you call a dog with wings?"

Some overseas stars had no idea how to take "The Little Aussie Bleeder".
