Outwitted by pissed mates...We were sat in the pub having one of those drunken conversations about the best comedy shows of all time. About half a dozen of us banging on about all sorts when someone mentions Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson and 'The Young Ones' and 'Bottom'. At this point Andrew leaves the group to fetch his mate Dave who, he informs me, is apparently a huge fan of the latter. Anyway we're all drunkenly doing impressions and quotes from the show when Andrew returns with Dave in tow. Everyone knows Dave except me so Andrew introduces us and sits down. There's an awkward silence so I say "I hear you like 'Bottom', Dave?" to which everyone except Dave howls with laughter.
The bastards didn't tell me he was gay.
