Best opening line for sex ever?

Has anyone had a better line?

Keeps the wolf from the door so to speak.

That was the best Valentines Day I've had in 12 years.

What did you do 12 years ago?

Just had a better one.

@tuttifuckinfruity

Oh and Micheal 😍😍😍

"Michael, that was just a noise"

"Michael, you're hanging around with a man who uses a collective term for a single vehicle"

"You've never had a cup of beans, man?"
"Do you have a spoon?"
"Eh...well there's one in the bathroom, like, but I've never had cause to use it"

❤️❤️❤️Love Michael.

True fact Simon Greenall had to have loads of make up on in IAP series 2 when he is in the BP garage as he boxes and had just had a fight and had a shiner when recording took place.

Also true fact Glenn Ponder (along with Coogan's brother) did all the arrangements of the title tracks etc and all the music for Partridge.

Ah Mrs Whippy Head has just come to mind😂

Love Michael too.

You know one time when Alan's looking out the window of the Travel Tavern and Michaels outside looking really fed up, kind of punching his head a bit, but then he pretends to be shot when Alan shoots him.... I always found that bit a bit sad. Is it meant to be? Like there's more going on with Michael than we see? Maybe I'm reading too much into it, maybe he's just sick of the Travel Tavern and the wee green waistcoats Smile

tuttifuckinfruity · 12/01/2021 21:40

@Monkeytennis97 I didn't know any of that, very interesting.

And I guess my Michael query was aimed at you as you seem so knowledgeable 😄

hilbil21 · 12/01/2021 21:41

Would you like me to lap dance for you

Monkeytennis97 · 12/01/2021 21:42

@tuttifuckinfruity yes the back story with Michael is that he has seen too much in the army but there are other theories that he wasn't even in the army as well.

I am WAY to overinvested in Partridge🤣

@hilbil21 argh my eyes!!

Ah, yes of course, i did guess there was some kind of PTSD but they never really elaborated on it so I always found that one scene quite intriguing as he's always pretty chipper the rest of the time.

Haven't heard the story that he wasn't ever really in the army! What's that?

Monkeytennis97 · 12/01/2021 21:44

@tuttifuckinfruity I went to a Monkey Tennis podcast recording where they interviewed Stephen Mangan and dragged along DH. My God he was brilliant!

They've rebadged it, you fool!

"Lynne, I suppose you're wanting a lift to the taxi rank?"

"Oh, yes please"

"Mind you, it's only a 20 min walk, isn't it? Just be careful, there's no lights on the dual carriageway at night"

Are you getting out here, or are you going all the way with me?

@Mookie81 ahhh Joe Beasley and cheeky monkey. Brilliant Smile

Monkeytennis97 · 12/01/2021 22:07

@tuttifuckinfruity I think the Michael-not-being-in-the-army story is a bit of a Partridge conspiracy theory that some fans have said as his facts don't always add up apparently.

I love the scene where he is talking about taking out his mate Tom Donaldson and the helicopter crashing out at sea. Lovely stuff.
