Mr Ellen's well-documented Macca-likeness, do you think Heather Mills is watching this and, inspired, is- as we speak- climbing inside a big box addressed to Soho Square?
So, this is the word office.
I envisaged more beanbag chairs and psychedelic wall murals.
Mark Ellen squeals like a girl
God help us if there's a war.
"Don't tell him your name, Pike!"
If there's a war he'll be Sergeant Wilson in the Walmington on Sea Home Guard.
Sergeant Wilson put in his place
(Opening scene of The Test, the episode starring the late Freddie Trueman)
Mainwaring: Pike, I notice your hair is getting very long, it's practically touching your collar. See that you get it cut.
Pike: Yes, Mr Mainwaring.
Mainwaring: Yours is getting untidy too, Wilson. You're not a violin player, you know.
But who will be..
...Captain Mainwaring, Corporal Jones and Privates Godfrey and Fraser?
There seem to be several entire episodes (in 10 minute chunks) on that there YouTube if you need some reference points...

it's not fair
you know to pick on young Mr Ellen, it's not like he frequents this establishment...his grasp of this cunning artifice being what it is :P
Nobody's picking on him
Nobody's picking on him. Just pointing out the bald truth. That he reacts like a six year old girl who's had a slimy frog tipped down the back of her flowery frock. There's even arm flappage.
oh yes indeed
and it's bloody funny to watch :))
but really, should they be playing pranks on him at his age? He could have had a right nasty turn. Then who would do the shedcast???
He sounds...
...just like Ned Flanders.
God love him.
