YES!!! The "I'm so happy" thread. 2009

[Anthony Darby]

Reminds me of the scene where Baldrick made coffee for captain Darling in 'Blackadder Goes Forth'.

[David Nicholson]

"This coffee looks like mud". "Ah! that's because it is mud".   Or words to that effect-great stuff. Ithink Baldrick made the coffee for Capt. Blackadder though not Capt. Darling?

[Anthony Darby]

Edmund: Cup of coffee, Darling?
 
Darling: Oh, thank you.
 
Edmund: Baldrick, do the honours.
 
Baldrick: (comes from kitchen) Sir. (to Darling) Sugar, sir?
 
Darling: Three lumps.
 
Edmund: Think you can manage three *lumps*, Baldrick?
 
Baldrick: I'll rummage around, see what I can find, sir. (turns back to
     kitchen)
 
Darling: Make it a milky one.
 
Baldrick: Coming up, sir.
 
   (outside; while Melchett and George speak, Baldrick can be heard
    hawking up a great deal of `milk')
 
Melchett: Well, George, you must have been delighted to hear the news of the
     Big Push.
 
George: Absolutely, sir -- our chance to show the Hun that it takes more than
   a pointy hat and bad breath to defeat the armies of King George!
 
Melchett: That's the spirit!
 
   (inside, Baldrick spits, then returns with the mug)
 
Baldrick: Here you are, sir.
 
Darling: (looks in the mug) Ah, cappucino! Have you got any of that brown
    stuff you sprinkle on the top?
 

[David Nicholson]

Yup! I was wrong. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

Actually, your memory is not playing tricks David. The beauty of this sketch is the is the build up beforehand, when Baldrick offers to make Edmund a cup of coffee. Having explained how he'd substituted for the ingredients that had long since run out (sugar = dandruff etc), Captain Blackadder declines the offer.

A Happy/ Sad picture

[Anthony Darby]

He looks a little shaken, but not stirred?

[Gwenblack]

You hit the spot Mr Derby, but I guess the chihuahua would be happier in a Margarita but easy on the ice!

[Lesley Cox]

That poor little dog! I'm laughing so much I can hardly type straight. Roger has rushed in to see if I've eaten something with an unexpected side effect.

[SAXIFRAGE at LYMINGE]

After not being able to access the Scottish Rock Garden site for ten days. It is great to be back on line. It was all down to me Adding
on a Smilie site that had some other bits added, and stopped me accessing the site.
Could I say thank you to Fred and Maggi for there help.
Best Wishes David.

[Lesley Cox]

What odd things disrupt our activities on the Forum. Thank goodness for the inestimable Fred and Maggi. Where would be all be without them?

[Maggi Young]

[Maggi Young]

Chris, only one or two words there I actually understand..... but it still sounds good that you can reach us from a cafe!
