Do you think the laryngitis excuse is genuine? My sister works for the NHS and they were offering tickets for it through some sort of NHS reward scheme for £12. I was at a Josh Taylor fight a few years ago where they curtained off the top tier, probably 4 or 5 thousand if the remaining seats were filled. 

The nhs thing is called "concerts for carers" they have had tickets to absolute hunners of gigs including the queen tour etc so i wouldnt look too much into that, 

The laryngitis thing im not sure about, given he is playing every night, two nights off to recover from it seems a bit on the low side, but fucked if i know, it did look pretty full wed night tbh

They were also doing 2 tickets for £30 via itison the week before it was on as week.

‘Donald from Hemsby has e-mailed us to say, ‘dangerous dogs should simply have their teeth replaced with strips of rubber’. I think that’s an excellent idea and I’m going to make him our e-mail of the evening.‘

Not sure why I've not listened to it before now, but I had a lovely day at work today listening to S1 of Oasthouse. 

Some absolutely peak Partridge. 

It’s either from Oasthouse or an audio of one his older books, but there was a line in it that genuinely still has me laughing every time it pops into my head. I had a look on Google to see if it’s quoted anywhere but it doesn’t seem to be. 
 

Alan is talking about bumping into a guy that he used to go to school with and gives a bit of background explaining the boy had behaviour issues etc, but the line was ‘he managed to mix a warm, friendly handshake with a genuine mental illness’. It might not be as funny written down but when I heard that for the first time in Partridges voice I was in hysterics.

'They get you on the old jeans rule? Nazis!'

But with excellent facilities........as had the Nazis.

I think I've seen all the TV based AP stuff, and forgive me if this is a controversial choice, but I think this is my favourite ever scene.  I remember watching it on MMM and pissing myself and it's been re-uploaded to YouTube.  Fucking superb - 

"The Clifton Suspension Bridge was built for people like you.  The fact that you can drive cars across it is a bonus".

Was going to post this then realised I already have.
