Love it ...... see, without BT we'd not have classics like this. It makes me want to deliberately bugger someone's broadband up.  ;) ;D ;D

I don't know the original (probably not old enough) but that was funny and completely believable.

For anyone not familiar with their songs - have a listen to Ill Wind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjA6bA1qtfQ) or First and Second Law (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnbiVw_1FNs) - absolute genius!

Correct, BUT I did read it off the poster ???
Must have had a 'Senior Moment' when I typed the name down  ??? (Don't ask how!) :shrug2:
Fingers obviously don't like Flanders and Swann.  ;D

That is amazingly good, thanks for sharing that.  The original was pretty much my favourite Flanders & Swann already.

One of the folk I sent it too has replied that he has trouble for about five months now. I'll have to find out a bit more. I know he has PN broadband supplied by and for all officers of the organisation he works for, but supplies voice, or if the family has personal broadband with Anor is unclear.

Get him to sing his issues to us, Ren ....... I think it has more impact and I love it.  ;D ;D

As I hadn't heard the original "The Gasman Cometh" for a few years, I searched for it, and found this pleasing little Youtube.  A Lego animation to the original Flanders and Swann song

I am currently alternating playing this and The BT Man Cometh  :lol:

That was cleverly done!  :D

Guess who will be playing the CDs from his copy of the Flanders and Swann boxed set, tomorrow?  ;)

Well, he is having email trouble
Quote
emails stop sending every now and again - normally when really important ones are trying to be sent!!!
As I mentioned earlier he sends from the organisation's ISP (PN account) but from his own computer and home #. Could that be a water muddying factor; me no know as have never sent mails in such circs.
