I'm incandescent with pride here.
I've had a few dodgy sick notes in the past, and an offer of a bent MOT, but not never in all my days has anyone given me owt like this.
I'm getting rather emotional now.

Do you think I should hang it on the wall?
And the certificate?
Or would that be considered boastful?

There's a thought.
Not too ostentatious?
Replied: 2nd Oct 2013 at 14:46
Not that I'm one to boast, but do you think it could 'open doors' for me?
Or maybe get me a bit off when around town?
Replied: 2nd Oct 2013 at 15:06
Most certainly, go in the 99p shop and things will cost less than £1 to you.

Calm down, lovely boy, you missed that, but understood the 'bit off' line. (Eventually)

Thats it, just put words in my mouth and make me out to be some sort of deviant.

So Dustaf, will you be driving your sheep down Wallgate anytime soon?
Replied: 3rd Oct 2013 at 18:23
Ho bloody ho.
Now if my peevish detractor was around, he'd be so jealous of my award and claim all you lot would follow me down Wallgate like sheep.
Replied: 3rd Oct 2013 at 18:31
Dustaf Don't you go sullying Wallgate with sheep and Ologies. You will have all them owd Irish men and women turning in their graves.
Replied: 3rd Oct 2013 at 22:20
I wouldn't dream of it.
Though I'm sure there's been many an escaped sheep/cow/bull gone running down Wallgate after escaping from the slaughterhouses, Marie.
I wonder if any needed their owd lobby's washed down after such events?
Replied: 3rd Oct 2013 at 22:24
Old Lobby
Not a Leyther's leftovers.

I've just realised, you haven't been given any keys, I was thinking of 'Freedom' of the town. Anyhow, who cares....
...and so Dustaf set off with his sheep.
Replied: 4th Oct 2013 at 14:28
I think there's a thread somewhere about what a Wiganer would be entitled to if given the key to the town.
It came about when Flintoff was given the key to Preston.
Knowing my luck, I'd get the key, or crank handle, to wind up the church clock.
Replied: 4th Oct 2013 at 14:32
Dustaf,
Don't let anyone else on WW share this info, but you earlier mentioned how this tribute, nay, acclaimed award might assist you to open doors.
Although I can't say with any certainty that I can put your name forward, but a few pics of you driving a herd of sheep up Wallgate, would I am sure allow me to nominate you for entrance into the stone cutters guild.

Stone Cutters eh, Tom?
Mother warned me about that sort of thing.
And if it involves me getting my nipple and knee out under Pottery Road bridge at low water, I'll have to decline.
I fell for that trick once before, and I never did get the £5.00 they promised me.

There's only one thing worse than being talked about.
Replied: 11th Oct 2013 at 21:44
No!
It's being given two years in chokey for being a whoopsie.
Can't find the quote from Blackadder where 'Big Butch Oscar' was described as a woopsie. ('Corporal Punishment')
However, I did manage to learn knowledge about a bit of dubbing.
As obvious on both original transmission and the DVD release, all verbal references to "Massingbird" were in fact re-dubbed (Atkinson's mouth movements do not match the audio). This was because the original name used was that of a prominent commercial barrister in London (Robert Moxon Browne) and had to be re-dubbed in post-production to avoid legal proceedings. Hugh Massingbird was the name of the obituary writer for the Daily Telegraph.
Here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporal_Punishment_(Blackadder)
Blackadder sends for Bob Massingbird, a brilliant lawyer sure to get him acquitted (Massingbird's previous cases included convincing a jury that a man who had a bloody knife in front of a dead man, who was seen stabbing the man in front of 13 people and said "I'm glad I killed the (Comment removed because it broke the rules)" was innocent and that Oscar Wilde was a homosexual despite an incredible notoriety as a womaniser).

Edmund: Yes, well, look at Oscar Wilde.
Perkins: Oh, butch, Oscar.
Edmund: A big, bearded, bonking, butch Oscar. The terror of the ladies. 114 illegitamate children, world heavyweight boxing champion, and author of the best-selling phamplet, "Why I Like To Do It With Girls".
Massingburg had him sent down for being a whoopsie.
(enter Baldrick)
Ah, Baldrick. Anything from Massingburg yet?
Baldrick: Yes, sir. It just arrived, sir.
Edmund: What is it?
Baldrick: Sponge bag, sir.
