'Would you like economy, standard, #deluxe, super deluxe, or elite, Sir?'
'Economy.'
'Economy means no thrills, purely basic.'
'It's only a 2 hour flight.'
'That's £300. And would you like to upgrade your seat to being inside the aircraft, Sir, for an extra £800?'
'What?'

You've been a brilliant host, Paul. I've thoroughly enjoyed the musical adventure you've taken us on.
I look forward to breaking the record as worst #vss365 host ever, a record previously held by me 3 years ago

'Here's the Jeeves MkI Robo-Butler. It comes with #undertones of sarcasm.'
'Far too expensive.'
'Ok. We do have the Alfred "Michael Caine" 200. I'll just demonstrate.'
'You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off.'
'Hmm. It appears to be stuck in Italian Job mode.'

It was a typo, Sir.
Thank you for pointing it out.
But I'm afraid I will have to challenge you to duel now. Our weapons of choice. Allied aircraft from 1939 to 1942, Sir.

'This is unsufferable. I challenge you to a duel.'
'I accept, Sir. Your weapon of choice?'
'Deadly fish, Sir.'
'I choose #Piranha fish.'
'Then I shall choose, Scorpion fish.'
'Tomorrow at dawn?'
'Indeed, Sir.'
'Good day, Sir.'
'Good day.'

Katie was always losing things. She lost her #raincoat at the park whilst playing football. She lost her dinner money on the school bus.
But she never expected to lose her shadow. She'd had it yesterday. It had followed her all around the playground.
But now it was gone.

'I'm here to see a band tonight? The #Verve?'
'Yeah. They're on now. Are you here to sign them?'
'If they fit the criteria. I've just signed Oasis and The Stone Roses so let's see. Bandy legged swagger. Nasally Manc vocals. Talented but also very annoying. They're in.'

It's such a classic show, and like you say, there were so many quotable lines you could say the next day at school or work 🤣

'Oh God no. The man's a complete #libertine, a cad and a bounder. He'll have half the female staff pregnant within a month, the other half within 2 months, and half the male staff will get a "little curious" too. God. Show him in.'

'Woof woof.'

In AD 79, Jeffus Twattus began his journey to create the first ever travel guide.
It would be the greatest book the world had ever seen.
His first stop.
Pompei.
As Mount Vesuvius spewed volcanic #ash into the air, he muttered his final words.
"Oh, for fuckus saykius."
