A friend in The Magic Circle e-mailed me recently, saying: "Put me out of my misery! Is that you on the sausage stall in the Churchill [car insurance] advert where he takes part in a tug-o-war? It certainly looks like you!"
You can see the commercial in question on YouTube and here's a screen-grab of the guy on the sausage stall...
So, what do you think? Is that just a Sibley look-alike? Or is it actually me doing a bit of sneaky cookery practice for Come Dine with Me?
Bangers and Mash is another saying for sausages and mash potatoes, and another word for sausages are wieners.
Oh, BTW - I received your comment on my blog and I appreciated your comment even though the jokes in my play may be grim, but thanks. I've posted more pages now and sadly I'll be reaching the end of the play in the next two or three posts.
But why are they called 'bangers'? If, like me, you didn't already know the answer, here it is:
"The term "bangers" is attributed to the fact that sausages, particularly the kind made during World War II under rationing, can explode under high heat if not cooked carefully."

No, he doesn't look as distinguished as you!
I think its Brain Silbey, the tribute act. I've seen him a few times.He's very convincing :-)
Can't be, Brian, no ketchup or mustard on the white waistcoat
REGING: Posh people teasing each other
First, I read Sharon's delightful comment; then I read Boll's (as ever) witty remark; and then–––––– Roger has to pipe up!! ;)
But I did like the definition for 'reging': fraffly amusing!
Well, you know me - a bit of a schmoozer!
Is it possible, Boll, that the guy is the tribute act for both Brian and Peter Jackson?
Not the new-look, slim-line PJ that I saw in London, the other week!
He only slimmed down because he got fed up with people asking for his autograph under the impression he was you :-)
Gosh, Boll! The stuff you know!
