In this small town, everyone is getting out of church. I'm going to go out and sling the "hello governor" on someone.

Nigel: All right, my son: I could've had it away with this cracking Julie, my old China. (Subtitle: I was about to make love to this pretty girl.)

Austin: Are you telling pork-pies and a bag of trout? Because if you are feeling quigly, why not just have a J. Arthur? (Is this true? If you were aroused, why didn't you pleasure yourself?)

Nigel: What, billy no mates? (What, alone?)

Austin: Too right, youth. (Indeed.)

Nigel: Don't you remember the crimbo din-din we had with the grotty Scots bint? (Remember Christmas dinner with the Scottish girl?)

Austin: Oh, the one that was all sixes and sevens! (The insane one?)

Nigel: Yeah, yeah, she was the trouble and strife of the Morris dancer what lived up the apples and pears! (She was the wife of the dancer who lived upstairs.)

Austin: She was the barrister what become a bobby in a lorry and... (A lawyer who became a policeman in a truck)

Austin & Nigel: --tea kettle!

Nigel: And then, and then--

Austin & Nigel: She shat on a turtle!

Bloke buys a Cockney Parrot but gets sick of it saying, "I'm from London and I'm hard as frick!" so he puts a Kestrel in the cage.

Next morning, finds the Krestrel dead and the parrot says, "I'm from London and I'm hard as frick!" so the bloke puts a Golden Eagle in the cage.

Next morning he finds the eagle dead and the parrot with no feathers! As he looks in the cage, the parrot says, "Had to take my coat off for that cu*nt!"

Because we fought a war so we wouldn't have to drink tea like a fig and speak like a ghey.
