Great review lucy, one of my favourite episodes this one, seeing what everyone else gets up to is soo funny espically kenny being a lolly pop man

All I'm gonna say is Max 'n' Paddy singalong and Garlic Bread!!!

Fab episode!!!

Great review
love the bit at the beginnin of this ep when Brian is outside the court staring up at the stairs to get in
And i think its really sweet when Brian is at home crying looking at the pic of all the phoenix staff
All the jobs are great,Ray Vons is funny 'sit down or you may die!'

Oh yeah ...... and it's a little kiddie ride!!!

ace review.

at least now i know what to do

just remembered another quote that i'd forgot to mention:

kenny: you could use my home brew
Les: taste like piss
Kenny:that was piss.

love that bit.

Max & Paddy in the Asian Elders scene is so funny, especially when they're singing so loudly they don't hear their phone ringing!!


"Come on, sing up!"
"KEY CHANGE!"

And Kenny as a lollipop man pretending to talk to Jackie Chan on the phone is hilarious.

"Hello Jackie, I got you that paint. Chuck Norris wants what, woodchip?"
"Jackie? Who the hell's Jackie?"

PS: Jerry and Alan in Asda... HAHAHAHA!!
PPS: The beginning scene where the fireman's bringing out the burnt bin from the toilets...

"There's your culprit."
"Him?!"
"Discarded fag."
"Discarded fag?"
"What's happened?"
"Some queer's burnt my club down, Leslie."
"It's up to the fire investigation lads now but, if you ask me, it was started by a cigarette or a cigar."
"A cigar?!"
"Yeah, why?"
"Two words: Den Perry."

I think Perry's in trouble... *ahem*

Yeah,that bit always makes me laugh in the car when we listen to best of peter kay! then again most of it does,theres gonna be a crash one o theese days
