Possibly contrary to "There is no advertising allowed in the forums" in the LQ rules (but there's no advertising in the post itself, the video is funny and the logon name "online-pharmacy" is a cracker).

Catkin,

This isn't advertising, this is classic british comedy.

Jasper Carrott has been a stand up comedian since at least the 70s, this is one of his oldest routines. Not advertising.

Cool

I did say "Possibly contrary to "There is no advertising allowed in the forums"; there is advertising on the YouTube page (the video itself is not advertising). Jasper was in his hey-day around the same time as Billy Conolly (just showing off acquaintance with 70s British stand-up comedians )

And they're both still going, though Billy Connelly is arguably more widely known. Check out some of these other gems from Jasper Carrott - he really was funnier earlier on:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJCJfY7TIko - drinking Bovril (a meat drink (yes, really)) at a football match
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htHL28-GnJc - on nuclear war
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CprQ295dxVw - bantam cock song - hilarious and a bit naughty

He was brilliant back then.
