463.0. "Fantasy Football League (BBC2 @11.15pm approx)" by AYOV16::IREID (Our day will come......) Wed Jan 04 1995 12:58

	I thought that since a new series has just started
	and the show is brilliant, I would make a topic for it.

	Will anyone agree with me for once?

463.1Happy New Year to Stuart StratfordAYOV29::DUTY93_MALCOoh, ooh, Mr PeevelyWed Jan 04 1995 13:125
    
    OK, I'll agree with you (but I'm not going to make a habit of it).
    
    Malc.
    
463.2Thanks Malc & Same to youREOSV3::STRATFORDSSi, BaroneWed Jan 04 1995 13:421
    
463.3Have you seen a handsome hun....YES, YESMASALA::MCAMERONMon Jan 09 1995 21:327
    

    Saw that Patsy Kensitt was on the program on Friday night. She
    confessed to being a Rangers supporter.

    Oh well....that dispels the myth that there is no such thing as an
    attractive hun..
463.4And the farts too for that matter !!MASALA::JJACKMon Jan 09 1995 22:467
    
    Martin,
    
    Wasn't she married (or still is ?) to Jim `Ooh Aah" Kerr ?
    You'd have thought he would have knocked that oot her.
    
    
463.5ESSB::BREETue Jan 17 1995 15:374
    Is that Jim Kerr from Simple Minds? I thought he was married to
    Chrissie Hinde (sp?) from the pretenders.

463.6Hiya.KIRKTN::GBRUCETue Jan 17 1995 15:482
    No JJ is correct, he is married to Patsy Kensit.
    Not JJ,Jim Kerr that is.
463.7XSTACY::PHAYDEN� Ne�-Max�-Z��n-Dweeb�eTue Jan 17 1995 15:541
He's divorced from Chrissie Hinde.
463.8Dedicated follower of fashionISEPUB::CHAMPOLLIONVoodoo LoungeTue Jan 17 1995 15:566
    She collects them (I mean, rock stars). Previous was Raymond Douglas
    Davies of Kinks fame.

463.9Which 'she'?MOEUR7::BROOKSTue Jan 17 1995 17:256
    
    I thought she (Patsy Kensit) was at one time married to Dan Donovan of
    Big Audio Dynamite, son or nephew, of Terence Donovan, but I might be
    wrong.

Isn't Jason Donovan the son of Terence Donovan? (Terence Donovan being Doug in 
Neighbours)
463.11Asheesh KIRKTN::JJACKTue Jan 17 1995 17:335
    
    Yes that's right. He's the half-brother of Terence Trent D'Arby & Irish
    folkie type singer, Donovan !
    
    
463.12Big Audio Simple Kinks?REOSV3::STRATFORDSOh, hi Uncle InchTue Jan 17 1995 17:337

    She was. Maybe they could all get together and form a "supergroup"
    albeit ignoring you Ms. Kensit.

463.13BTW I'm tone deaf...UPROAR::LEMPThere ain't no sanity clauseWed Jan 18 1995 08:216
    Come on, chaps. A woman who is that tasty *and* interested in football
    (expect lots of notes from one half of Glasgow saying that she isn't).
    Who gives a $hit if she can't sing.

463.18XSTACY::PHAYDEN� Ne�-Max�-Z��n-Dweeb�eWed Jan 18 1995 11:342
That's because she had to change into the new kit , the old one went out of date
during the adds. Call Umbro, 35 quid ,and it can be yours.

    Who else remembers the Bird's Eye Pea advert from the early seventies?

463.20Jokes on 4SUBURB::RUTHERFORDIAlan Rough's Greatest SlipsMon Jan 23 1995 15:058
    Did anyone happen to see Don't Forget Your Toothbrush II on Saturday ?
    They decided to show the F.A. Cup to some poor under-priveleged people
    and promptly wheeled out a load of Arsenal supporters, one of which was
    Tony Adams' brother !!
    
    Well it made me laugh, anyway !!
    
    Ian.
463.21Ooh, Aah, Statto!AYOV16::IREIDOur day will come......Mon Jan 30 1995 13:337
	Did anyone see FFL on Friday night.  They did a Cantona-esque sketch, 
	where someone shouted abuse at Statto, and Statto battered him.

	Well I thought it was funny.

463.22World record for longest time to understand a jokeAYOV29::DUTY93_MALCHerbidaceous !!!Thu Feb 09 1995 14:5910
    
    	On FFL on Friday night, Skinner and Baddiel were waiting for Dennis
    Wise to arrive to recreate his greatest ever goal. David Baddiel said :
    "He'll be here in a minute. He's coming by taxi." and Frank Skinner
    said : "OHH NOOO!".
    
    	I didn't get it at the time but I do now. Err quite funny really ....

    The last of the current series was shown on Friday, and quite a laugh
    it was too. Especially when Alan Hansen said that his favourite singer
    was Billy Joel. Frank Skinner then proceeded to sing "Don't go
    changin', to try and please me" and enquired whether Des Lynam liked
    him aswell, refering to Des's Frank Bough like antics with that
    sex-change Bond Girl. 
    
    Pretty hysterical at 11:30 on a Friday night, I can tell you !!

    Apparently, about 15 years ago, Dessie had a 2 year fling with the
    sex-change Bond girl, Tula. (S)he describes the affair as "very
    passionate" and states that "Des's moustache tickled her in all the
    right places".
    
    
    Nuff said.

    I particularly liked the Gary Lineker/Willie Thorne gags which ran
    throughout the series,especially Friday's.
463.29IRNBRU::HOWARDLovely Day for a GuinnessTue Jul 30 1996 16:499
    Some late news....Fantasy Football League is no more, it seems. Messrs.
    Baddiel & Skinner have moved on to bigger and better things and there's
    nobody to take their place, (nobody who's any good, that is). No more
    big `HELLO's, no more `Phoenix from the flames' and no more
    `Statto'....
    
    life just seems so empty. Fridays will never be the same again....
