Well you can stuff that for a start!
From 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue', the 'complete a well known phrase or saying' section:Q. What comes after pride?A. From Tim Brooke Taylor if I remember correctly: "of lions".
Tammly - not with sage and onion though.DJ - it sounds like one of Tim Brooke Taylor's. About twenty years ago we saw him at Buxton Opera House in a stage version of The Ladykillers.
"...and the taxidermist asked 'Do you want them mounted?' And I said 'No, put the lioness on a different plinth'..."
Sam - 'And what about the half-eaten wildebeest?' the taxidermist asked.
Phyllis Diller once made the hilarious comment about taking ages to stuff her Christmas turkey - through its beak...
Scrobs - yes she was funny. It's worth revisiting some of her quotes such as -"My husband is so cheap. On Christmas Eve, he fires one shot and tells the kids Santa committed suicide."
Let's hope the lion was dead when the taxidermy started.Penseivat
