Hello Rodney and Olive I know the piece that Olive's enquiring about because I heard it on the radio in UK many years ago, but I'm sure it wasn't a 'Carry On' item. I think it was on it's own, so to speak. I wonder if it's worth contacting the BBC to see if they've got a copy in their archives. Just a thought. It was hilarious and since hearing it, I have often tried to wonder how to explain other games to those who have never seen or heard them. Can you imagine trying to explain Irish football to an alien? :o)) Cheers Pauline K in Oz

Hello Pauline I still think this piece is so funny and I know it went on longer than the snippet sent by Rodney. I also know it was in a film. There were a lot of comedy films about at that time, I used to go to watch them. One of them was "A Kid for Two Farthings" (or similar name). I have to ask what is so different about Irish football? Thanks to Rodney, I now have more information to go on with the wording so this may help my searching. I have tried to think of comedians about that time re films. Carry On films, don`t think so. Peter Sellers, don`t think so. Norman Wisdom, again don`t think so. What a puzzle! Olive

I wonder if we're all talking about the same thing? I recall listening to somebody trying to describe a cricket match to somebody from history who had lived before cricket was ever heard of. It was hilarious. Try it for yourself. Can you imagine trying to explain a TV/CD/DVD to Lord Nelson or Henry VIII?

Hello Olive Now you've got me intrigued! Where did we both hear/see it? What is Irish football? Well, it seems to me to be a bit of a cross between Aussie Rules football and suicide! :o) Cheers Pauline ----- Original Message ----- From: "olive" <olive.cookson@btinternet.com> To: <LANCSLIFE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 6:56 PM Subject: [LANCSLIFE] > Hello Pauline > I still think this piece is so funny and I know it went on longer than the > snippet sent by Rodney. > I also know it was in a film. > There were a lot of comedy films about at that time, I used to go to watch > them.
