A few years ago "like Robbie Williams missed Gary Barlow" would have been an updated version of that joke.

Like Posh missed the Spice Girls would be a female version I suppose.

Which episode was that in please?
Good thread Gordon, shows a real writer putting a young pretender in his place. These are lovely insults for defo.
Strangers on the Shore.
I like the one where Marlene is wearing a really frilly pink dress, and Raquel tells her, "You look like a toilet roll holder!" Or something to that effect.
Trigger introduces Mike to his niece Lisa:
"You remember Mike, don't you? He's the water-diviner from the Nag's Head."
Quote: Gordon Bennett @ February 20 2013, 3:52 PM GMTInsulting old people is really funny; here's another example:
Albert (about Elsie Partridge): "I'm not talking about her dress size. She's a spiritualist. She can contact the departed."
Del:"Yeah, I bet that's where she pulled you."
Raquel is trying on a dress and Rodney has told Del to pay her a complement,Del who had heard her mention earlier that a girl she used to work with was staring in a James Bond film says if she could be in Bond film so could she as the other girl was a dog

From the same episode:
Del: "ere Boycie, you know this car's a GTI.. Well if you rearrange the letters you got yourself a personalised number plate!"
Rodney to Del in "Who wants to be a millionaire"
"And this is my future, 24 computers that don't compute, the only rug in the World with a sell-by date and the script to a hundred and one Dalmatians, thanks a lot"
Rodney to Del in "Tea for three"
"Hospitals do not send home paralysed people by bus, what is it your after Del sympathy from Lisa or a disabled sticker for the van?"

Yes, that was a great line (I wanted to add this quote myself). I love when they accuse each other of going out with ugly women. That's what I like about the early episodes (without Raquel and Cassandra); their pubertal handling of women.
Rodney: "Well, I wanted to buy one of my adult art magazines.
Del: "What's the problem?"
Rodney: "Debbie's serving! We've been seeing each other, sort of thing! She might think I'm odd!"
Del: "She's gonna find out sometime, Rodney."
