That's really unfair. The poor lad's a recovering alcoholic. Why can't you just leave him alone? 
20 signs you've watched too many British sitcoms Page 2
Cheers, Mr Andy (or may I call you Fabulous?), but don't worry, I've come to consider being mates with Morrace my unofficial '13th Step'. 
Quote: Kenneth @ November 7 2009, 8:27 AM GMTThere used to be a rather shabby budget hotel (more of a hostel than a hotel really) called Fawlty Towers in the southern Israeli town of Eilat (on the Red Sea). If you could show on your passport that your name was Basil, Polly, Sybil or Manuel - you were allowed to stay free. I used to stay there before going to Egypt to sell suitcases of alcohol. I think it shut down in 1996. It wasn't too awful and the manager wasn't very tall.
I love the sound of all the dodgy jobs you've had Ken!
My uncle owned a FT hotel in Cornwall at one point.
A regular Dirty Ken.

...and now he's been banned, for no doubt more provocative behaviour.
I like to think of him as not so much banned, more as "gone home".

I was working in Prague, just after it opened up and before it was a stag destination.
w were meant to be at the best hotel - but it wasa shambles.
The rooms were all mixed up the lifts were on the blink and the kitchen had to close 'cos it was on fire.
As we were standing about in reception waiting to sort things out 4 old blokes turn up and set up music stands in the foyer.
It's a string quartet, booked to give the placea bit of class.
They start playing - the theme tune to Fawlty Towers.
they can't have known what they were playing and were a tad confused by the laughter
I think one sign is possibly having a tattoo of Tony Hancock on your brain.
That's the last time I get drunk on the beer and that.
Another sign is that your username is an obscure line from Blackadder III...
Another sign is pointing out that the correct title is actually Blackadder The Third...
A further sign is pointing out that it says Blackadder III on the remastered box set...
The old one got the titles wrong as well. Must find the new for cheapo.
But the final sign is actually getting out that DVD, watching some of it, taking a screen shot and uploading it as confirmation.
... That's actually probably 'Black Adder' as two separate words as well, actually. Hm.
Quote: Aaron @ November 6 2009, 11:43 PM GMTThat line's actually incorrect. >_<
The amount of people who because I like Dad's Army have quoted that line to me like that is quite high, it is a bit annoying.

10) You wonder what Tristram Fourmile is doing now.
14) You maintain that Foggy was the definitive third man.
17) You wanted Terry & June to adopt you?
18) Your political activism is confined to applying to join the Tooting Popular Front.

10) Is that him from George and Mildred? Not really thought it up
14) He quite definetly is though isn't he
