He was listening to his pig

How many would get offended by the idea, that their spouse would call them by nicknames such as piggy, pig, piglet, pigster, oinkster or little-piggy-wiggy?

Bean has given these pig-themed nicknames for Crumpet, inspired by Blandings Castle -books and the Empress-pig, which enjoys it's life eating and sleeping in the piggery. And Crumpet loves her nicknames..

Monikohan suuttuisi ajatuksesta, että puoliso kutsuisi tätä lempinimillä possu, nasu, piglet, possukka, oinkster, porkster, nöf-nöf tai pikku-porsas? 

Bean on antanut mm. nämä possuaiheiset lempinimet Crumpetille Blandings Castle -kirjojen Empress-possun mukaan, joka tyytyväisenä nauttii elämästään lätissään syöden ja nukkuen. Ja Crumpet rakastaa lempinimiään..

Sir Humphrey Appleby: "Minister, I have something to say to you, which you may not like to hear."
Jim Hacker: "Why should today day be any different?"
Sir Humphrey Appleby: "Minister, the traditional allocation of executive responsibilities has always been so determined as to liberate the ministerial incumbent from the administrative minutiae by devolving the managerial functions to those whose experience and qualifications have better formed them for the performance of such humble offices, thereby releasing their political overlords for the more onerous duties and profound deliberations which are the inevitable concomitant of their exalted position."

Jim Hacker: "What ever made you think I wouldn't want to hear that?"
Sir Humphrey Appleby: "I thought it might upset you."
Jim Hacker: "How could it? I didn't understand a single word."

Good gracious

Barry: "It's just, I just realized, we have been really, really selfish. You see, weddings are not for the bride and groom, they are for the relatives and friends, and you know, old aunties and grannies. People sort of rely on that kind of a day. I can't deprive them of it. You know, take my auntie Lillian, for instance. I mean, probably the last time she gets out of the house."

Moxey: "So instead of the Mediterranean, you'll settle for Wolverhampton?"

I don't want to be mixed up with this

"The officiall viewpoint in the upper house, the Lords that is, is we'll never crack this European thing ´till we can hook you European Johnnys onto cricket. While they've asked me get before the committee to explain the finer points, the innitial breefing goes something like this."

"Cricket. There are two sides out in the field, one out and one in. And each chap that's in the side that's in, goes out and when he's out, comes back in. And the next chap goes in, until he's out. And when their all out, the side that's been out, comes in. And the side that's in, goes out and tries to get out those chaps that are trying to get in. And then again, of course, you get a chap who's still in and therefore not out. But ones everybody's been in and out, including the not outs, that's the end of the mach. It's really quite simple."
