Post Postgate

ALISTAIR DARLING IS TALKING TO HIS WIFE.

WIFE

Darling, Darling what's the matter?

DARLING

Darling, Darling Oliver Postgates died.

WIFE

Oh you must miss the Clangers. They lived on another planet and no one knew what they were talking about. Just like the last budget.

DARLING

No, not that.

WIFE

Oh you miss Ivor the Engine. He was full of hot air and went off the rails, jsut like the economy?

DARLING

Pishty Cuff! It's Bagpuss I miss.

WIFE

A fat dopey, cat, that had no idea what was going on?

DARLING

Who else is going to write Gordon's autobiography?

dont get why she calls her hubby by their surname???? like the Ivor line. Dont get the punch?

I reedited the punchline in the sent version, which I'll do here.

I think Gordon Brown ressembles Bagpuss and Bagpuss would probably make a better PM.

As for Darling Darling, last time I used that line.

I swear some one in the audience shit themselves laughing.

Go figure neh?
