Marwood: [voiceover] If The Crow and Crown had ever had life it was dead now. It was like walking into a lung. A self-sustained nicotine-yellow and fly-blown lung. Its landlord was a retired alcoholic with military pretensions and a complexion like the inside of a teapot. By the time the doors opened he was arseholed on rum and got progressively more arseholed until he could take no more and fell over at about 12 o’clock.
[the drunken pub landlord opens the till and it hits it him the chest and he almost falls down]
General: Thought I was going for a minute. But no man’s put me down yet. Have you had any training in the martial arts?
Withnail: Yes, as a matter of fact I have. Before I became a journalist I was in the Territorials.
General: Do you know, when you first came in here I knew you were a services man. You can never, never disguise it.
Withnail: What were you in?
General: Tanks. Afrika Korps. A little before your time. Don’t suppose you’ve engaged, have you?
Withnail: Ireland.
General: Oooh, a crack at the Mick?
Withnail: We’ll have another pair of large scotches.
General: These shall be my pleasure.
[he pours their drinks]
General: What are you doing up here, then?
Withnail: We’re doing a feature for Country Life. Survey of rural types, you know, farmers, travelling tinkers, milkmen, that sort of thing.
General: Have you met Jake? Poacher. Works the lake, but keep it under your hat, hmm?
[they go and sit down with their drinks]
Marwood: What’s all this Army bollocks?
Withnail: We got a drink, didn’t we?

You really really do have a lot of time on your hands don’t you ?

Unfortunately I couldn’t be bothered to waste thrty seconds of my life wading through all of that crap.

Though its obviously very important to you.

Thanks for re-posting my Withnail and I quote, Lust 4 Life. I have to admit I was a bit sad no one commented on it. The General seemed to sum you up so perfectly. To answer your complaint, it took me less than 20 seconds to C&P that quote from IMDB to this thread

In the scene, Lust4Life is being played by Sean Bean.

Wrong Bean

How can I put this ?

Love you to death honey !

Death Honey!?

Awesome! That’s gonna be either my next band’s name or an album title!

@Sparky812

Death Honey!?

The album title would be “Death Honey Don’t Care”.

Funny story. Friend of mine worked as a barman in a pub in Luton. One of the regulars apparently sustained injuries trying to disarm a bomb planted by the IRA. Was drinking… an awful lot actually. Still owe my friend seven pints he took off his tab. Anyway, another of his regulars asked where I was from, originally. I told him I was born in Belfast. He took the wrong end of the stick and ran with it. Never heard the song before and couldn’t give you a score, but I remember the lines “I’d rather be a Paki than a hun!”.

If you’re looking for anti-Royalist sentiments in the UK, that pub might be a good place to start.

Death Honey Boo Boo?

[Suburban_Plankton]

I don’t usually spend much time in the Pit, but I’m going to have to start, because some of this stuff is comedy gold!

Anyway, I don’t really care much one way or another about the discussion here, but I wanted to post to say that as an ‘outsider’ (in that I am not now, have never been, and never intend to be, British, so I have no stake whatsoever in the original argument) Lust4Life seems to be nothing more than your average racist, bullying, Internet-tough-guy.

I wanted to get that out, so that maybe he’ll see it and come back here to insult me too…I’m hoping I get something that I can use for a new signature…

I have to admit I’m having some difficulty parsing this story. Stick? Song?

Had it been one night I could put it down to being drunk in charge of richard littlejohn, but two nights is very strange - lusty, assuming you’re not on a bender, you really are coming across as a loon. And a nasty bigoted loon at that.

I think the word you’re lokking for is “troll”.

I think that’s “El Provo Pasa” by Simon and Garfunkel

[Monty]

When I was in Belfast visiting friends, the only song I can recall from the time had the refrain, “Belfast, Belfast, such a lovely town, doesn’t matter if your skin’s brown.”

It’s sung by some in Glasgow and environs to the same tune as “Ye cannae shove yer grannie off a bus”. Not that I suspect this is much help to most here.

Heh, good joke, but it’s a different tune.

This tune in fact:

ye cannae shove yer granny off the bus

Tune is “She’ll be coming round the mountain”

Yes, I suppose that is a bit better known. I knew it was something from a musical, but couldn’t think what.

Edit: hah, not even a musical. Ah well.

Took me a while to figure it out - luckily, I have a handy reference source in my wife, heh. She’s US/Canadian, but now knows who you can kick aff the bus.

In the '60s? Or recently? Here’s the song anyway.

[Scumpup]

The Irish are a race?

Well they certainly aren’t human.

[Scumpup]

Naw, dude, let’s not play that. Lusty has been called a racist about 6.73 million times in this thread. Now, FTR, I do not believe he has a hard-on for the Sons of the Emerald Isle in general. I think he has a hard-on for a subset of that group who like to play with guns and bombs. Now, I’ve never been to Ireland in my life, but I personally know some folks (Plastic Paddies I believe they are called back in the Dear Auld Saud) who have contributed financially to to the carnage there. I didn’t much care for them. Does that make me a racist too?
