22 Mar 02 - 03:22 PM (#674224) Subject: 'ALBERT RAMSBOTTOM' monologues... From: Paul Most people will be familiar with the 'Albert Ramsbottom' monologues, popularised by Marriott Edgar and Stanley Holloway from the 30's to the 70's. It appears that people are still writing the occasional 'Albert' monologue which I would very much like to add to my growing collection. I'm searching, in particular, for 'Albert And The Outside Privy' and 'Albert And The Vampire'... plus any others that follow the original 'Marriott Edgar' style. Can anyone help?... The following are available at my site... Marriott Edgar : http://www.monologues.co.uk/ |

From: lamarca I've got your site bookmarked, Paul, and really enjoy it (I never knew that Bernard Wrigley had written sequals to "Knocking Nelly"...) Do you have the words to "There's a stain on the floor of the barroom..."? Since I've only ever heard Lou Killen do this tragic tale of a darts contest and don't know the title or author, it might be on your site under its real name... |

From: pavane Tom Gilfellon has recorded it on The Middle of the Tune, and I am sure it was discussed here quite recently. It is of recent origin, as it refers to the moon landing in 1969. Uncle Alberts last heroic farewell.. or something like that |

31 Oct 03 - 11:48 AM (#1045329) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'ALBERT RAMSBOTTOM' monologues... From: Dave Bryant I have PMed Paul asking about his site. It seems as though www.monologues.co.uk has now been aquired by "The Hosting Company for one of it's clients". I wonder if Max would be interested in hosting it - in the same way that he provided Dick with a home for the DT when the owners of it's previous home got worried about copyright considerations. |

31 Oct 03 - 11:55 AM (#1045336) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'ALBERT RAMSBOTTOM' monologues... From: Arnie I can't open any of Paul's monologues - clicking on his blue clickies only gives me the 'page cannot be opened message' and refers me to the now-defunct www.monologues site. Wonder if this is a problem with my broadband that I've recently installed. Shame really, as I'm off to a folk club tonight I fancied trying one of the new monologues... |

From: Walter Corey Part of the site is here http://www.btinternet.com/~p.wilkinson2000/Albert_and_the_Lion.htm (Why does the linkmaker make two links?) Unfortunately only the first six or seven monologues come up if you click on them. |

31 Oct 03 - 09:35 PM (#1045599) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'ALBERT RAMSBOTTOM' monologues... From: Walter Corey I guess the answer to my own question above is that it doesn't. When I made the link it had the URL down twice. I pasted it into an e-mail that I sent myself and the link came up twice, and both of them worked. But it straightened itself out in the message...oh me of little faith! |
