*ROTFLMAO* X 10 !!

I laughed so hard i had to restrain myself from waking the entire neighbourhood (it's 2 am)

Where did you find that transcript ? .. don't tell me you know it completely by heart and took
the time to write it down..


AND "The Parrot Sketch" is my favourite !

"It's pining.."
"IT'S not pining , it's bleedin' demised"
"It have gone to meet it's maker""
"If you had'nt glued it to the stole it would have been pushing up the daisy's"
... etc etc ...

"THIS is an EX-parrot!"
