Tommy Cooper was one of the greatest comedians of all times but you had to be tuned in to his humour.

Thanks for those gems :thumbup:
I loved Tommy, do you know this true story?
He was on stage in Leeds and got a taxi from the station, the taxi driver immediately recognized Tom [he was unmistakeable, 6foot 6 and a giant of a man]
" Mr Cooper" he said "I'm one of your greatest fans" etc, etc.
When they arrived at his hotel Tommy paid his fare and thrust something into the driver's top pocket saying
"Thanks son, have a drink on me."
Later the driver retrieved what was in his pocket, it wasn't a fiver, it was a tea-bag! :thumbup:

Really funny :thumbup: Tommy Cooper was such a brilliant stage performer.

The jokes remind me of a friend of mine.
He had a terrible addiction for drinking Brake Fluid.
I tried and tried to make him quit.
All he said to me was that he could stop anytime.

I love this kind of stuff when I can figure it out. I start off thinking "What the hell is an Aerial?" Burst into laughter!! Some of it sounds like Grouch, a funny guy from my childhood.
