From: Roger the Skiffler Just got a copy of David Nobbs "Fair Do's" second hand ( for one penny plus postage!!) as I've had "Bit of a Do " for years but Fair Do's was Out of Print and the recent reshowing on UK tv More 4 of the tv version made me revisit the originals. ...but I digress... In it there are many good lines that made me laugh out loud. This one, referring to the "Dale Monsal Quartet" could have been made for me: "they failed to make up in vitality what they lacked in accuracy". RtS "enthusiasm no substitute for talent" |

Is that the group who preambled each song with things like "We now transport you across the Irish Sea...", etc.? I've read Fair Do's (yes, I know the apostrophe is wrong, but I don't want it to refer to MS-DOS) but I may be mixing it up with another book. |
