Arthur Bostrom's 'written' a book on how to "spook Fronch like the policeman in 'Allo 'Allo".

" Foreword Rick Wakeman".

This book was published in 2018. Not 1987. 2018.

Someone who once told their mum that they're into comedy probably received this as a Christmas present and had to do that fake, "Aw thanks" face.

"Book very good but daughter is starting to dislike me"

That's incredible.

Didn't Bostrum briefly post on this very site? I seem to remember someone saying he had eclectic tastes in prog rock.

Was the book bought for the daughter?

No, just an unrelated observation

Can imagine a load of gammons going over to France once the lockdown is lifted and "hilariously" "speaking French" from this phrasebook as a joke.

Yep.

Good Moaning Kicked and Bummed. Let's talk about Ponk Fleed's Dick Seed of the Moan.

He got called out for using 'moan' for moon and morn, there was a big pile-on as usual and he never came back.

and then getting angry and getting themselves deported

You're a bunch of joyless comedy snobs.
This looks brilliant and will sit nicely with Ronnie Barker's guide to spoonerisms in the downstairs wc.

I have to confess to still sometimes saying "good moaning". Which is a very apposite phrase most days before lunchtime.

But if anyone buys me this book, it won't be fallen madonnas they have to worry about, it'll be them, falling off a cliff, closely followed by 30 tons (imperial) of rancid onions. And then I'll have them sent to Auschwitz.

I mean, good for him for making a bit of money and I suppose 2018 was a good time to do it, what with UK Gold showing the whole series from the beginning (unlike now, when they show episodes out of order and with chunks cut out). But you could write these yourself. I have written them myself. You switch around the vowels until you get a different word, and try for something rude if possible. "[Lt. Gruber] is still bulleted at the chiteau. He has been spitted in the grands, wicking his Illsuitions and licking Sid."

Thanks.

[Poirots BigGarlickyCorpse]

Thanks.

It's still funny and it's a nice way to play with how language is represented in the show. I just wouldn't buy a book of them. I feel the same way about Arthur Matthews' Secret Diary of Dominic Cummings or whatever. Maybe I'm just too online. I feel like anything these books can give you, you can get on Twitter or make up yourself. Nothing against Arthur Bostrom and it was shitty that people ran him off the forum.
