I still enjoy a Peek Freans Trotsky Assortment with a cup of tea.

Heh. I happened to be driving in Stoke Newington today and a small bit of Sayle popped unbidden into my head: "I'm a gossip columnist for 'What's On in Stoke Newington'. You might have seen it. It's a big piece of paper with "fark all" written on it."

Who's that fat bar steward?
I was a big fan of Alexei Sayles Stuff.
" Why do people put coaching lamps on their houses? Well they're not going anywhere are they?"

 

[roadrash]

I certainly remember him as Jerzei, the LandLord in 'The Young Ones'

In the young ones he also played brian damaged balovski, the axe wielding homicidal maniac

Listening now. Great stuff. And by Thee Power of Thee Internet, I've found his own website, which has Alexei Sayle and The Fish People for download. Linky

I suppose I would be a MALIT, a middle aged lady in trousers.

I'm going to have to find all his old "Stuff" shows now and re-watch them with my son!.

Sweary Man is Genius from the Alexei Sayle Pirate Video, the last video of 6 on YT it was an encore, I have met so many Londoner talking like that. The Loverly - Bollocks part sticks with me now I had forgotten where it came from me and my mate would be doing it all the time Light and Bitter - Lurvely - Florida - Bollocks. His humour has aged quite well I spent a good hour on you tube laughing inspired by this thread, and honestly I don't find TV comedy that funny normally.

Dunno if you're a fan of Alexei Sayle or not (I am)
In his "Imaginary Sandwich Bar" radio series (both series avail to listen to here) he talks a wee bit in one of the progs about his love of cycling.
He makes sure the audience knows what a MAMIL is, then describes himself as a PUFFIN
Pathetic Unfit Fat F*ck*er In Nappies (the latter referring to padding in shorts)

Made me laugh, anyway!

Many thanks for the link. Excellent!

You say both series. I can only find the one series with eight episodes. Am i missing something?
