Sinead O Connor,

[tomsk]

they were orginally filmed in black and white...
and the horse is called Hercules!

[Icey]

Awww! Are you serious? Hercules - that was quite nice.

[tomsk]

yes indeed..

[Icey]

You're right!

[tomsk]

classic comedy...

[Icey]

Those old comedies make me roll.

[tomsk]

yes ,
they were really original...

[Icey]

And none of the PC rubbish.

[tomsk]

yes,
they used the word turd a few times which you never get these days!

[Icey]

I find that word funny, and you're right, it's not one that you hear a lot, is it? Having said that, when spat out by an outraged northerner, it can come across as good as any expletive - better, in fact. I know an old boy who doesn't suffer fools gladly. If he doesn't like someone, he uses that word, and prefixes it with some animal, so a person could end up being called a goose, dog, cat and numerous other "turds". It sounds hilarious, but you also know he means what he says. : )

[tomsk]

it does ...

[Icey]

I can't remember hearing it from either of the Steptoe characters though.
