"Spring is sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where the birdies is? They say the birdies on the wing, but truly that’s absurd. The birdie isn't on the wing. The wing is on the bird". #comic #rhyme Perhaps by #SpikeMilligan, or not? Anyway, here's #spring bird on bower by Angela Goldsmith #springtime

#SpikeMilligan joins #SandiToksvig to play "the daring, dazzling, death defyingly dull, devastatingly dangerous, delectable, delicatessen-able, divinely decadent Sandwich Quiz" as part of Saturday morning show No. 73.
Foggy out there today. Be careful, especially if you’re in Old London Town.
My Ooh! Has never been so....Oooh!!

Let me introduce you to a rare genre. #gothic #comedy. Occasionally, The Goon Show (members - #spikemilligan #petersellers #harrysecombe) would dip a toe into this. The House Of Teeth features a decaying mansion, imprisonment, and a bizarre dental quest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB7I... Do you dare?

40yrs ago #SpikeMilligan took spaghetti to Harrods to protest about sale of foie gras! @postfield
The dustbin of 28lbs spaghetti was the volume a human would have to eat to equal the maize rammed down a goose’s throat each day!
