That is just amazing. God I miss the Nottm acent; especially when used in that “‘e sed, i sed, e sed” way.

I love the way she wraps it up with that non sequitor “Have a nice new year, anyway”. Mental as anything.

Coloured Melvyn is a top nickname. It makes me wonder if he was attacked by kids with crayola crayons as a kid- “Oh no, they’ve coloured Melvyn”.
So is there a structure to this, or is it random? Why is Melvyn only coloured whereas Tony is full-on black? Does everyone get a shade? Or is it related to how “In da hood” they dress? David Beckham was declared black on this basis a few years ago, so perhaps your dad’s pub is trailblazing the redefinition of ethnicity. Can I be “slightly off-pink, except for two weeks after he’s been on holiday when he’s a bit browner” Simon please?

I’ve never met Coloured Melvin, sadly. I do have a photo of Black Tony somewhere though; my father serenades Black Tony with a chorus of “Old Man River” whenever he comes in the pub. I’m not sure if I’m horrified by this or not.

God bless you Mr Blythe. God bless Rosy, and little Raz and god bless Irene and Coloured Melvin, too. Actually not Irene, she sounds like a patarken cunt.

Can I see a picture of coloured melvin? Can we get him on facebook? Maybe a facebook group, “friends of coloured melvin” or something?

Don’t worry, Ben! I’ll fix it. Now your comment is legible, doesn’t go under the sidebar, and makes no sense whatsoever.

And thanks, Adam, I love you twice for saying a nice thing. Jennifer’s video is dedicated to YOU.

This is absolute frigging genius but for some reason I cannot use my space bar in text boxes when replying to stuff in my RSS reader which is quite clearly fucked.

your writing mojo hasn’t fucked off anywhere – you’re one of the funniest ever always – that last one, the menu – genius – I check every day to see if you’ve written something new.
