And now for the ever-lovely Samantha :
Samantha has to nip off now to do her food shopping. Although she's always been a fan of Mr. Dewhurst's Beef-In-Guiness, she can't wait to have Mr Dewhurst's Tongue-In-Cider (say it out loud...)

Samantha is off to meet her driving tutor now, who has been giving her lessons. Unfortunately, she's not all that good, and she's alreading scratched the paintwork and gotten a few dents in it that they need to repair, so while she gets stripping, he'll be knocking one out.

Samantha has just gone out to help her new gentleman friend, who is having trouble with his computer. She is something of an IT whizz, and says she is looking forwards to fixing his desktop, to prevent it crashing and going down on him every two hours.

Now, a couple of other jokes from Humphrey Littleton throughout some of the airings I've heard:
It's quite amazing how things have changed since the introduction of television. I recall, back in the early '50s, looking at this strange wooden box in the corner, peering at a fuzzy grey face by way of an evening's entertainment. But then, TV arrived, so we put the lid back on Granny's coffin and carried her back down to the cemetary.

My grandfather was always intrigued by the superstition that breaking a mirror brings you 7 years bad luck. So much so, that yesterday he broke 4 to guarantee he would live to 114 years old.

The '70s were much simpler times, long before the age of the hoodie and the ASBO. These days, it's even neccessary to send grumpy Grannies to prison. I noticed that the 85-year-old who was put away, successfully appealed against her sentence, and had it reduced from 6 months to life.

Lionel Blair has had to resort to pantomimes in his old age, but he is becoming increasingly difficult to work with due to his mood swings. In a recent production of Snow white, they said one minute he was feeling happy, and the next he had come all over grumpy.
