That laugh gave me such a fright 11:25

I have throughly enjoyed the golden notebook. Thank you for posting

7/2024.....Short man here. 70 years and I'm only 5 foot-5 inches. I was buying my clothes in the teenager department, until I was in high school. I never got taller, and since I turned 60,...I have begun shrinking. Funny thing, I was the tall one in our family, when we were young. For a period of time I was 5 foot 6 inches. People wondered if we had custom made furniture in our house, designed for short people. We didn't. Thank god we were thin. I've met wide people who were as short as us. For fun at home I used to see how small a space I could crawl into. Suit cases and foot lockers. At one of my jobs I used to hide under the main retail sales counter. I looked pretty young until I turned 50,...some telltale signs of aging, were creeping in. Crows feet at my eye corners, a tiny wisp of grey hair. Some sagging skin came at age 60, and a slight double chin. Dating was hard, most women want tall boyfriends. I had mostly platonic relations with women, until I 35. But soon after I began dating a variety of women. I dated some who much taller than myself, we always looked like an odd couple. I've been with the same woman for a long time now, and we're the same height. My Mom and sister were only 4 foot 10 inches. Dad and I were the same height. My male buddy's would joke,....saying women are shorter when they are laying down.

£2.50 for a pint??!?!?!

The dog sounds better.

BBC seriously missed a trick when they dumped this brilliant series. They decided on Dinner ladies, Miranda and all manner of turgid, unfunny comedies which now appear on Gold! Unbelievable! I have the rare DVD wich i now treasure!

Orid

Soccer is the dullest sport imaginable

What a wonderful artist. Entwinig tragedy with great respectless humour. I devoured everthing he published and sometimes I fear, that he might die before me. What then?

Nigel Benn was fantastic in this

Oh man i forgot how good this show was

If your child done such a work which is bad and you leave him so it means your spared the rod and spoiled the child so if i am right then please let me know

❤❤❤❤❤

Sounds fine on my phone where I'm gratefully listening to this. Thank you so much for posting it! It's videos like this that have made me buy his books and recommend them. The books are so much better when you've heard his voice before reading.

I lost it at this scene

Admit it, you searched for this.

Bill's sudden self reflection at the end always gets me. "Bastard."

It was probably too similar to men behaving badly, just came out at the wrong time

That barman is the guy who raped Kathy in east Enders

“ … Bastard.”

Absolute classic. What episode is this?

I loved this show 😂

The sound is aweful

I heard Johnny Vaughan agreed with the critics and said it was rightly panned. Well sorry Johnny, I have to disagree, I watched every episode when it aired and it was brilliant and hilarious. I just googled Ricky Grover, Wikipedia omitted this brilliant comedy. I wonder why ? Johnny Vaughan wrote Orrible and it was the best thing he’s even done

I actually had to research whether or not Mr. Sedaris had been married and had children before realizing this was part of the humor of aging and forgetfulness that he was talking about. Yep, he got me, and this made the short story all the better! Thank you for all of your words and works. :)

Audio's a mess. Inaudible.

No KZbin video is entitled to the moniker “rare video”. The moment it’s posted, it’s one of the most commonly accessible videos, not rare.

"......sometimes I walk home."

The Sedaris family are KRAZY ENTERTAINING❤️

Wilmott-Brown totting the prices up 😂

11:29 scared me

"Best quality".. I'll be the judge of that

*"spare the rod and spoil me"* -Lancer, Deltarune The NOT Musical

I love everything David Sedaris writes. He's a truly funny man.

Hehe I've haven't seen this show in a while, nice scene.

Little 'r' fine well for himself

What corny jokes. I heard him on the tv tonight and thought he was a funny man. Very disappointing.

The funny thing is, Dale's right. "Spare the rod, spoil the child" actually means the opposite of what people think it means.

Lovely! Anybody know what the title music is please?

I agree.I think they should have one big world league and all the teams should play knockout until there are only two left then the winner of that match are the world champions for ever..The End.. they can all go hang up there boots and go and be lorry drivers or something,you know be productive.

One of the best bits of a massively underrated show. I regularly come back to this.

Quality. Very well written scene.

Not only is football a pagan cult but football supporters are the golden calf worshippers.

thanks for posting this. I wish the sound was louder.... but i do appreciatee it.

I wonder if David Sedaris was the inspiration for Bobby Hill in king of the hill..

What snacks were you eating?

Rare? I heard this on Audible. Brilliant clip 😂

Pp

Best program ever

Brilliant.. just shared this scene...all laughing their heads off.. nobody had seen this before...I used to rave about orrible back then... nobody listened... it's class..so well observed
