Join alt.fan.sandi-toksvig


This newsgroup has absolutely NO posts on it, and is ripe for a takeover of dogbombers to discuss the joys of Sandi and other such malarkey.


Lets all join and make Sandi happy and popular :D

(UberMinx pauses and waits for a laugh from her audience a la sandi, with a slight throat clearing ahem)

YES! DO!

Who is Sandi? Some one please explain? What are we doing?

she is a no-necked gnomic lesbian midget (allegedly a comedian too)

Never heard of her.

me either and im up on my height challenged exotic performers/comediens!

Isn't she that awful woman on Call My Bluff or some similar daytime television shite?

I'll join :)

I can't find that NG

I found it in Google Groups, click on alt.*, then alt.fan.* and then alt.fan.sandi-toksvig.

Have already posted there, but Googly says 3-9 hours before post is visible :(

Don't use Google to do it then... use a proper news client :)

Guinness, take no notice, thats a wild guestimate. Your post is up :D

Using a proper client is not a wild guestimate... but somethign plucked out of the air by Google.

i've got a small press cutting somewhere where sandi tokthing gives a danish quote that she goes on to explain translates as " i am the king of denmark and i like stawberries".i always liked the idea of bemusing a danish person if i ever went to denmark with this quote , and due to my own petty amusement i have refrained from slagging off the mis-shapened gnome on the MH site. if your intention is that i go post the nastiest cutting remarks on the site , let me know. i'm that fickle that the slightest encouragement from the dogbomb hierarchy would persuade me to do my worst.

Do your worst, you'll only get flambe'd. :)

No, you dont need to be cruel, we just need to fill her fan group with fans. It had no posts. We felt sorry for her.

I still don't know who the fuck she is!

Shes the bint with her picture in every thread in the Dog House.

Tis done. :D

She used to be on an ITV Saturday morning kids show called " All at Number 73 " or somthing like that. She was the late seventies/early eighties version of Cat Deeley!!!!!!!!!!
I think her name on the show was " Ethel ".
Anyone remember that?

For NetniV and the others who don't know her:

I remember Ethel. And the Sandwich Quiz. AND FECKING NEIL FECKING BUCHANAN, who can make a picture of concorde out of a piece of rope and some old shoes, got his big break there too....

Bit shit compared to Tiswas and Swap Shop though.

Oh, without a doubt. I was never a big tiswas fan, coz the flan flinging fuck scared the crap out of me. Me and Swap Shop had a VERY intimate relationship for a number of years though. I'm the only person I know that remembers the Swap Shop supergroup "Brown Sauce" with their song "I wanna be a winner"...

" I wanna win an award " by Brown Sauce. Got the single. I'm sad sad sad.......

Yes

But I bet you dont have a copy of "the best dreams begin with B" which was the theme song for the Burnley Building Society, and was penned by none other than Salman Rushdie...


"You can dream a little, you can dream a lot, but the best dreams of all are the ones you got, building with the burnley, dreaming bout a pile of money, dreaming bout feeling free, and the dreams you do can come true for you, coz the best dreams begin with B".

And they wanted to kill him for the satanic verses???

No Uberminx, afraid I don't own that one. Makes my " Brown Sauce" single seem like a lost Beatles original.

/me has the LP of Dougal and the Blue Cat from the magic roundabout at my mums somewhere. The blue cat used to scare me crapless.

I remember Neil, and I just remembered who Sandi was... you know what triggered the memory? Call My Fucking Bluff... nothing else...
