they are both tools
but that story about some of the answers people have given on "family fortunes" is enough to put les slightly above pamela. although maybe not in the way he would like.

the snow in london waited until i had to walk home and then go to/from the gym last night. as soon as i got in (frozen tit-less, as discussed late last night), it ALL DISAPPEARED.

It's a conspiracy.

Ours has turned to ICE
This is the worst thing ever. And a Scottish person has stolen my snow spikes, so I have to shuffle like a pensioner to work.

oh i hate that
you are teetering along in your heels or trainers (i have nothing in between), placing each foot down flat like a twat. then you realise you aren't slipping, so you get more confident. then you forget about the ice altogether and stroll on as usual.

only to end up on your arse or doing a pelvic-wrenching split skid two mins later, to the amusement of the entire number 9 bus. i fucking hate it!

I am always vigilant
I never get cocky. Not since that time when I was 14.

Also to be fair to Les
He is about the only impressionist I can think of who sounds like himself but doing a slightly funny voice that sounds vaguely like someone you know but can't quite put your finger on...

Him, and Alistair McGowan, who not only sounds like Alistair putting on a slightly funny voice that sounds vaguely like someone you know but can't quite put your finger on, but also looks incredibly like Alistair McGowan pretending to be someone else and failing miserably because it still looks like Alistair McGowan dressed up.

They think flaring their nostrils makes them good impersonators
It's all about the fucking nostrils and the shocked expression with the pair of them.

Let's face it, Dustin Gee was miles better than Les.
In fact he still is, despite being dead for 25 years.

when i was 19
alistair mcgowan asked me out in front of the whole of the comedy store.

i should have gone, but given the location and his fame, it did occur to me that he might have been taking the piss!

And his nostrils, rach, his nostrils.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 1 Dec 2010, 10:06, Reply)

he was doing stand-up then though
i remember no nostrils, even though i was on the front row. that fat bloke john something also asked me to have a drink with him in the bar. it was utterly humiliating because he said to the audience "this girl on the front row in the purple shirt [it was the late 90's, ok?] is stunning, lads". and my then boyfriend oswald, who fancied himself as a bit of a comedian himself, promptly yelled out, "HE'S LYING!" and the whole room pissed themselves at my expense.

wonder why i didn't marry that one...
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 1 Dec 2010, 10:09, Reply)

because he was called Oswald, and well you know it.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 1 Dec 2010, 10:10, Reply)

well
he wasn't reeeeeally called oswald.

but it sounds a bit like it and it was just as pretentious on his parents' part, given that they were from fucking bedford!
