My favourite client in the bank was one "Lancelot Castle"

I always wanted to be on ...whatever his parents were on. ;)

"Lance' was a top bloke. 😄

many years ago - the great andrew symonds was just starting his career and hit a monumental century this day - went up to toowoomba for a cricket game between Qld and the touring poms. small country ground. the announcer was a local tosspot who clearly thought himself incredibly important and was on the ground sound system every chance. hardly an over went by without him announcing something. driving the entire crowd insane. a few local kids (and i think some of the Qld team) gave him some notices to announce and of course he could not help himself. the search for Mike Hunt was one. various others. but the kids kept coming back telling him that Mike had not appeared. he requested that Mike Hunt front up numerous times. he eventually got very annoyed at Mike demanding his appearance. the place was in stitches. finally someone told him. he was furious and got back on the blower telling the crowd that this sort of tomfoolery would not be tolerated. you can imagine how well that worked. 

so the kids got someone else to ask if he could put out an announcement to find amanda huggenkis. sure enough (straight out of the simpsons), 'we are looking for amanda huggenkis. would amanda huggenkis please come to the tent'. i have never seen so many people in tears laughing. and when he found out that he'd been played again, he went nuts. publicly. i mean, seriously, no one could have dreamt that he'd give such a bonus performance. 

needless to say, he was not the announcer on day two.

Forgive me if you've seen this one...

this reminds me of a scene in that brilliant british show, the thick of it'. one of the truly great shows. malcolm (peter capaldi) gets a delivery. a large birthday cake. no note. it just has "happy birthday, c**t" written across it. 

he looks at and goes, well, perhaps better to show it.

meant to add that he later finds out it is from the prime minister.
