reference to Absolutely Fabulous: Money, Tickets, Passport!!

[@VickiTakacs.]

I adored that show. But never do I want hear the word passport again. Add vaccine.

[@jedlinnen6528]

....shopping trolly weighing severial tons. Bag resting on top of trolly, ruck sac and big bag in other hand. Sactchel around neck with documents etc. I made it on three buses from Glasgow to a small fishing village in the north of Scotland and took most of my groceries for the week. The bus driver was really impressed actually

The “wallet”, that brings me back to the old days and I’m only 28. When we got proper internet here and started printing boarding cards off line, my mom still would go and double check with the airline staff anyway because she it “didn’t feel right”.

[@PlumfacesamaYTP]

It's reversible, Jackie!

[@davidwillis2416]

Our first holiday since 2010 has just been booked. The video is a summation of the panic we are in now.

[@Barbe]

Well how was it, all these years later?

[@MrCharliecorsa]

LOL! Its reversable Jackie! hahahaha

[@scandowegianpean]

LOL!! I actually remember the good old days (10 years ago) when you really could bring whatever and however much luggage you wanted on board. Sigh.... :)

[@petie71]

It is a total crime that this sketch was left out of their complete series boxset released last year.

[@MarciaMatthews]

“Let’s get the list again and be ruthless.”

[@n.t.6609]

TAKE TERRY!!! :'D

[@Jarvamon]

I'm looking for that too. It was featured as extra material on the original video release (i.e. it wasn't in the original broadcast) but this was not included on the DVD box set.

[@lovegood55]

That's what i was thinking. They both look gorgeous...

[@667neighborofdabeast]

Technically vacation is more correct if I say so myself. Vacation means "to vacate" as in go away from the place where you are now. The word Holiday comes from "Holy Day" which would be a day you take off work and go visit family etc. which is what you Americans use it to mean. in the UK we just use it for anytime you get off work to do anything, hence "summer holiday".

[@olafurssonkyllian8153]

Boiled water ! haha brilliant !

[@fuzzypeachmonkey]

Man, this is classic. I am a lot like this when I pack. I have to be ruthless on my next trip. Only one tumble dryer ;) Also they never mentioned toothbrushes.... yuck!

[@MarciaMatthews]

6 of everything. 🤣

[@howardkerr8174]

My holiday preparations are almost completely the opposite of this. Very short mental list, written in invisible ink. I am so bad sometimes that the last time I drove from Florida to Pennsylvania I didn't even take a jacket with me, and it was early fall.

[@petie71]

'We don't need to take the lenses. We'll just take the fluid.'

[@KamsOnlyOneLife]

We have to be quick, we've only got 6 months!!! =D

[@petie71]

"Contact lenses; contact lense solution." "Now, do you wear contact lenses?" "No. Do you?" "No." "Well we'll just bring the solution."

[@veronicajoanneclarke2862]

Brilliant 😂❤

[@nekomann]

Thank you so very much for posting this!!

[@petie71]

Actually bin bag is pretty common in Canada, too. It depends on the Canadian. Lol. I say bin instead of garbage. I like the 'b' sounds together. x

[@kinetsievarvenfloot1237]

They forgot to pack the champers and the mini mince pies.

[@DinoAgent69]

TAKE TERRY! lol

[@NemisisTempt101]

"BIN BAGS!!" lol

[@667neighborofdabeast]

They sound like my mum going on holiday, she says every year thats shes taking barely anything with her and ends up bringing a ton.

[@znmnky13]

Take Terry!

[@RM-lj8bv]

Ha Ha, They've only got 6 months 'till they go.

[@jetsetbri]

It's reversable jackie

[@jeffeastwood15]

"We've got to be ruthless!" Are there just the 3 skits (Holidays, Concert, Double Wedding)? If there are others PLEASE someone upload them -- Thanks!

[@bunglefurd]

does anyone have the sketch where Leann & Jackie prepare for the Gilbert O'Sullivan concert???

[@tbraganti]

this is by far my favorite clip. does anyone know what disk this is on? i bought the six dvd set here in the US but didnt see this on there.

[@SiLlyGoOse4321]

it's not on a dvd...that i know of. The dvds are compilations of each season and they have the specials as extras. Its so unfortunate bc each episode was 30 mins (tech. about 25) and each dvd is at most about 1:30 so a lot of good stuff is cut. Luckily u can find a lot of good cut stuff on here (youtube). A member that has a lot of good f+s stuff is wwjend. hhahah hope that helped.

[@tbraganti]

Does anyone know where i can get this on DVD? I bought the six dvd boxset here, but I dont see it on there... Thanks!

[@Kaiouforever]

Haha this is great.

[@IrishIsa]

@origlilone I totally agree!

[@667neighborofdabeast]

Good point, I noticed the list got a bit interrupted between categories. They only mention make up in the toiletries section but then mention shampoo and conditioner at the end after the beach stuff.

[@aveuch]

Money tickets passport! Bin bag! So much proto-abfab

[@markmark1987]

i went to Seattle last week and i notice i forgot to bring my battery charger for my camera i should ve did what leanne ans jackie did make a list but i brought one when i got to seattle

[@ivanahavitoff7308]

BOARDING CARDS!!!!!!!!!!

[@MarciaMatthews]

Packing all that for 6 days and then dumping half of it.

[@millerworld1]

water-skis ?.......well it'll save us having to hire them in spanish.

[@65rowan]

Very very funny considering you could take all that stuff and more. What happened to them days? oh yes.. Easyjet come along.

[@Supablonde1]

Are they moving house or going on holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@WoWhistorian]

Holiday refers to an actual holiday, such as Christmas, Easter, etc. Vacation would be a time off from work or school that is given for relaxation, or just time off. So, Holiday and Vacation.

[@princessrachie278]

i did this for a competition~!!

[@dragomir_in_giardino]

are you mad? noone's doin that anymore

[@badassgangstaa]

really? i was just joking... bt wow, i didnt no dat...

[@jeffeastwood15]

[@badassgangstaa]
