The Armstrongs

[janaage]

I missed it last night, but here's an extract from his blog

"The Price of things...

supply and demand working only one burger van at a public event, captive market+no competition = dear.I have found there are maybe 3 ways people react when the person behind the counter reticently asks for an inflated amount but after a whilst i think they enjoy the look of sheer incredulity on the customers face and tell them the price with rada perfection and blairite mealiness(wanker)

1) "I'm not paying that" common at country shows in the summer months at the end of a long queue the family of four realizes that maybe £40 to see a horse and fruit cake is not money well spent .

2) "Are you sure?" asked sometimes very softly or maybe "fucking how much?" (chav response) i like this one esp the cool variant is.Someone has just spent 10 minutes putting through £200 worth of shopping at a tesco till and the person says "its too much" Clint Eastwood style and just saunters off fucking beautiful!

3) back to the angry one they have a row for minutes at the hotel checkout  just to vent there anger at some poor gimp , at the gimp still says thank you & goodbye!!! i would say "well you've fucking just slept in the fucking bed haven't you and the maid reckons you've had a wank in the bed as well so thats another £50" -  really loudly "I said a wank in the bed watching porn  you fithy cunt !".

4)Submission - pay with total silence but the eyes say "you cunt but i don't want anyone to think I'm brassic" if the receptionist is on commission they may spot your feeble roll over puppy dog demeanor and hit you with spurious charge oh theres the water recycling charge of .... they pay."

Jan, what the fuck are you going on about?

[janaage]

Mate have you not seen the Armstrongs on BBC2, about the bloke who runs a double glazing window firm in Coventry?  Well this is the fella's blog, funny as fuck!

The bloke is a bell end though.

[Piemonte]

I've not seen it. or heard of it for that matter

you seem less mental now after that expanation though

i watched it, he's an ignorant cunt but funnier than brent to watch go wrong.

i'm surprised his factory workers haven't stabbed him yet.

that blog makes no sense to me.

I thought it was fiction - that bloke is for real?

[oxford_fan]

hard to believe, i know.

they had a smaller part on another programme and somoene obviously saw the potential entertainment value, the bloke is such a nob its unbelieveable.

in the episode i saw he went clothes shopping and some gay convinced him to buy a suit with a bright red jumper for £1,200 which looked awful when he put it on

[ron dodgers]

but his missus is even worse - I think I saw the one where she staged a positive pregnancy test (or did I dream it) - fuckin' hell they are breeding!

[oxford_fan]

 he compared having a baby to getting an exhaust changed at kwik-fit

[ron dodgers]

you can get them for an after dinner speech in the £2k to £5k range of speakers. The world'd gone insane I tell you.

[oxford_fan]

don't worry, the way he's going he'll be broke soon and we'll all be able to watch it on tele.

Same here at first especially when the World Othello Champion turned up.

The other week when they went out for the meal and the fella brings his partner who is about 65 I still wasn't convinced it wasn't a comedy.

Brilliant series though but missed the last couple.

Have they still got the dog?

Agree with that, I know I wouldn't want to buy anything of him, the bloke is a cunt of the highest order!

I watch it every week and I always used to think is was real but then my boss told me it was a spoof.

every since he told me that I have started finding it unbelievable - especially this week when he went to America to meet Zig Ziglar?

[Dazzza]

It has to be a spoof or set-up in parts.
