There was a beautiful Finnish girl, who used to work at the sandwich shop. I heard her accent and asked, "Where are you from?" She said, "I'm Finnish." I replied, "I didn't know you'd started." True
Another girl called Annake, not Finnish but Dutch (but only a little-biit snobby) was another beautiful girl, of whom I was enamoured, and for whom I used to write poetry, (especially sonnets) and was, I thought, the perfect woman. For, if perfection were a girl, her name would be, For beautifully and statuesquely fair, For eyes, which to believe, you'd have to see, Azure from the sky, a heav'nly stare, And golden hair to match her golden face, Like the Sun at midday bright'ning all the world, A bosom like the rich sea's wide embrace, And smile that's from Apollo's lightning hurled: But though her perfect body, perfect seem, It's in her soul, where true perfection lie, Her goodness, kindness love and her esteem, Are greater than the Sun, the sea, the sky: There's only one in all the world so rare, Perfection is a girl, named Annake.
It should also be noted that having read the Iliad in the Greek, it's my belief that among other things Apollo was a god of lightning. Thus the reference to "Apollo's lightning."
This is on VHS from 1993. This youtube video is 10 years old. Were you old enough to use the Internet 10 years ago? If so, you'll remember the quality of media that was around at that time. Also, if you know English then you'll understand it perfectly
Nothing happens between them because, like Ronnie C, Ronnie B has never been able to articulate an explicit reference to the act of... to the act of... hell, you're making me do it now!
It's a parody of the British reservedness towards talking about things such as what two people might get up to when they arrive at home together and things might happen, or at least the circumstances tend to imply that something could happen along the lines of erm... shall we say that thing that people might do when they are walking out together
Incredible, not only do you get to see brilliant comedy, but also classic BBC!
Simple glorious and so clever 💓💓,lovely memories.
They were simply brilliant
The genius of The Two Ronnies. Brilliant laugh out loud comedy!
The theme to the two ronnies is solid gold.
The 2 Ronnie's are priceless I miss them both 😢 😪 😔 😭 💔 😞 😢
Wonderful stuff!!
Masters of the understatement !! 🤣
Loved the hindsight joke

I agree
" Are you linked" what a funny sentence.
What does Ronnie Barker say in response to this?
the cousins is a really funny movie as well. lloyd bridges is brilliant.
"Are you a couple?"..
"..a couple of what?"
😃😃😃
so this is what 0.240p looks like... ( i think)
240p? Is that the best resolution you could manage? Sound is muffled too. Shame.
Another Pythonesque sketch. I thought he was going to ask if "she's a goer".
😀😀😀😀🌹👌👍🏆
Show starts at 0:55 - Thank me later. :)
Hey that was Grissom in the intro!!
Please try to find a copy of this with worse audio. I can still undertand some of what they say.

This is TV when it was good and not full of cheaply produced, mind numbingly boring flashy rubbishy claptrap.
True
Before PC spoiled everything.
Where are the clever writers now?
@@johlene1813exactly!
Is this from 1992?
Awesome.
Pity the laugh track is so loud.
That's because the show is so hilarious! There's nothing like it these days; everything is going to the dogs.
It's most likely not a laughter track. These things were routinely filmed in front of a live studio audience.
are you walking out?
At the begin, the voice sounds like Bob Monkhouse?
12 people that have watched this that have no sense of humour!
It might be the blurry quality of the content
& how unfortunate is that, Ian. No doubt, had their sense of humour removed at birth.
I don't get the punchline.

@@wailer27 what do you mean, "walking out"?
@@RabbiHerschel shacked up
@@wailer27 I've only just re-watched this and noticed the replies. I love how the replies follow the mood of the video's joke. Thanks.
Audio quality so bad. Cannot listen
the begging bit was rather bad but I found the rest of it comprehensible and I am listening with an old military speaker in bad shape
Annika doesn't give a good impression about us Finnish people, but neither do the Two Ronnies about British people
Kalle-Oskari Mäkinen it's comedy mate so it's not serious
Nobody can understand what you are talking about, you Finnish prick! GET COHERENT, IDIOT!!!!! 😠😠😠😠😠
She seems a perfectly pleasant young lady to me 🙂
