Abs I heard a joke yesterday it goes as follows,, MRS Brown appears in court and is found guilty of stealing a tin of peaches, The judge asks " Mrs Brown roughly how many peaches were in the tin you stole " Mrs Brown nervously replies 6 peaches I think sir ", The judge responds " I therefore sentence you to 6 weeks imprisonment, 1 week for each peach " Husband Mr Brown shouts from the back row " She nicked a tin of peas as well" ๐Ÿคฃ impressive spring impression Abs it took me back to my sofa bed days๐Ÿ˜‚. Question, Abs living in London have you ever been asked directions by a foreigner and been tempted to respond in your glorious Italiano.

Tom Harwood is the worse example of the younger generation. I really cannot listen to that soy boy.

Letโ€™s hope that YouTube doesnโ€™t take down The Great Wall of Cunts. I really like abirobertscomedydiva, it suits you.

June Slater is now into self promotion and is a Malhotra and Bridgen bootlicker.

An Abi birthday gathering, what a brilliant idea. PLEASE do not organise it between 13-24 June as I will be away on holiday. I donโ€™t want to miss another event!

Trudi's avatar

Yes Jan ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ my thought exactly on JS, whilst doing self promotion on GB news๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I find you get the best conversations whilst in the back of a taxi i have certainly been enlightened to some local goings on whilst travelling to work( i do miss that)

Fabulous pod tonight Abi,

Your taxi driver sounds like a hoot๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ. Bet he was telling all his cabbies that he had a miserable comedian in his cab๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

The trailer is looking good ๐Ÿ‘

Planet of the apes is just brilliant, all of them. Makes me cry and I donโ€™t like the nasty one ๐Ÿฅฒ

Terry had a good sense then about Alistair Stewart, bless him๐Ÿ’™

Did I hear someone say โ€˜PARTAAAAAAAAAY๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ

Itโ€™s a hell yeah from me, Iโ€™m in Leicestershire, whereโ€™s everyone else? Poor Jules is way up in Scotland, but her and Mr Jules wonโ€™t miss this๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ

Iโ€™m staying in a hotel this time as not missing out on the late night shenanigans ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Bloody Nora, poor Charlotte will be run ragged again, that woman is remarkable ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’–

Will there be cake? Asking for a friend๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Something to look forward too... Cannae wait!!

Yes poor Charlotte but I think she loves it really and sheโ€™s so good at it. I met her at the London comedy thing. I want her as my live-in mate. Just dead normal, cuddly and down to earth. Love her. I turned round and saw Abi at the bar. I dived on her for a hug and wanted to touch her fluffy hair but I think that mightโ€™ve been too much ๐Ÿ˜†

I wish I lived near London. I live in the US. I would love to hang out with this community for an evening. But maybe if itโ€™s in June we have time to renew my passport.

Abi Roberts's avatar

Yes Iโ€™d love to have some US representatives at the Abi Daily extravaganza ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ™

Eucatastrophe2021's avatar

Great! I would love to be there for it.

TheJules's avatar

Love a Planet of the Apes especially the new ones. ...the old ones creep me out a bit.

The taxi driver sounds like a belter.....pissing myself at โ€˜I wonโ€™t be using itโ€™.

Alastair Stewart,a nod to Terry on the GWOC....nice.

June Slater......brilliant,loving the โ€˜youโ€™re off the railsโ€™ whatโ€™s app msg Iโ€™ve experienced this particular slur and I think itโ€™s code for โ€˜ you are far smarter,funnier and much braver than meโ€™ ,(well thatโ€™s how I translate it) from my padded cell).

Birthday meet up sounds fab....weโ€™ve been talking about it for the full gestation period of GWOC! Itโ€™s time we celebrated its birth and your birth Abi ๐Ÿ˜€

Love to you all....itโ€™s difficult being off the bloody rails and still โ€˜partโ€™ functioning in society xx

Jan Newell's avatar

Alistair Stewart, just as sickening as Tom Harwood. Terry knew his stuff.

June Slater, you have summed her up perfectly Jules. I think the whole of the SubStack family must be off the rails in June-speak.

TheJules's avatar

We are off our fucking trollies but in such a good way Jan ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’• and thank God for u all ๐Ÿ™ xx

Jan Newell's avatar

Yes Jules, we are all part of the best club you could imagine. Thank God we all found each other, thanks to Abi xx๐Ÿ’–

Hani O'Keeffe's avatar

Love your interpretation of 'you're off the rails!' I can go with that!

Trudi's avatar

Hope Abi blocks the old bag on WhatsApp ๐Ÿ˜‚

I remember how outspoken lord Sumpton was at the beginning, he came across as a highly principled man and very intelligent and then all of a sudden he sat down and kept his mouth shut. I remember how outspoken Peter Hitchens was, always posting Bob's amazing cartoons saying 'Bob gets it' then he said nothing in defence of Bob when he was hounded out of his job on the telegraph and being vilified on twitter. Hitchens write an article explaining why he took the jabs and was a lot more cautious about what he said afterwards. Neither of those two were consistent and they didn't defend people when it really mattered.

Would love to come to your birthday party Abi and meet everyone in the substack family, that would be wonderful.

Although i love good films, books seem to affect me more than films. My all time favourite is Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens. Its an emotional roller coaster, very moving and all of humanity is in those pages. Compassion, love, cruelty, ignorance and in the end karma. You could relate to it today and at any time.

Your Italian accent is definitely better than your Greek one Abi ๐Ÿ˜‰

Jane in geordi land's avatar

Yes I agree lord Sumpon has disappeared. A good book I recommend is The ragged trousered philanthropists iwritten by Robert Tressel t's about builders in early 1890 working on a house of all different trades disgusting wht they don't have enough money to feed there family written in a humorous way.

ShoutyMum's avatar

I remember listening to him early on in the โ€˜pandemicโ€™ (I can never say that with a straight face ๐Ÿ˜†) he was doing an interview about how we would all be forced to get jabbed and I felt so despondent. He knew it was wrong and yet said we should comply. Really, really depressed me.

Hani O'Keeffe's avatar

Yes, I thought he had a bit more backbone than that. Really disappointing and he let a lot of people down who had respect for him.

Hani O'Keeffe's avatar

Yes I've heard of that one Jane but not read it yet. Thanks.

Trudi's avatar

Sounds interesting

Jan Newell's avatar

Abiโ€™s Italian accent is fab

TheJules's avatar

Did u say BOB? ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜€

Trudi's avatar

Did your ears prick up then Jules?๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Bob will have to pop along, you can smother him in cake and lick it off... Iโ€™ll be hunting out the cheese and pineapple hedgehogs. You think Iโ€™m joking ๐Ÿง€๐Ÿ๐Ÿฆ”

ShoutyMum's avatar

Youโ€™d have to get past me first!! I could lick cake off Bob all day ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‹

Great laugh tonight Abi, loved the chimp impressions, I used to act out the PG Tips adverts in full when I was a kid (youโ€™ve got to be old enough to know what what I mean) I loved those monkey and wanted one as a pet ๐Ÿคฃ, obviously I loved the Planet of the Apes films too!

I saw The Peoples Princess June Slater on Twitter explaining why she doesnโ€™t go to marches cos London is too far and sheโ€™s too busy helping people!!!! I bet sheโ€™d be there faster than a speeding bullet if GBeebies invited her to the studio. Iโ€™d love a June Slater type character, perhaps she could do an interview with McCockin Iโ€™m sure sheโ€™d love it!

Iโ€™m definitely up for a party Abi, I would love to see you and the substack family in person it would be fab!

Hope everyone is ok and having a great evening! x

Trudi's avatar

She could be called Ruth Tyler as in roof tiler.. ( slater) ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

TheJules's avatar

What about June Shitfield?

Trudi's avatar

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Catherine's avatar

Yes, nice one ๐Ÿคฃ

Catherine's avatar

I like it Trudi, if she canโ€™t pronounce the โ€œthโ€ in Ruth she could say Roof, I sometimes get called Caff instead of Cath!

Or perhaps she could be called April Maybe, because April and May come before June ๐Ÿคฃx

My friend used to work in an old peopleโ€™s home when she was 18. There was an old boy called Frank who would always be touching his todger under his blanket. Then heโ€™d fling the blanket off and stand up and shout โ€œfinish me offโ€ to the circle of little old ladies. My friend would be traumatised and theyโ€™d have staff meetings about what should be done about Frank the wank ๐Ÿ˜‚

TheJules's avatar

๐Ÿ˜‚I had this experience when I was only in my teens working in a nursing home prior to starting my nurse training....I was horrified that men in their 80s were still standing to attention ๐Ÿ˜ฑ we had one like that,Ecky was his name,he was wheelchair bound,paralysed down his right side but his little erect walnut seemed to be in good working order,bless him and heโ€™d shout for someone to finish him off,he even asked the Chef in one occasion ๐Ÿ˜‚ I hadnโ€™t seen many willies and I was traumatised ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿคข

Catherine's avatar

Boys will be boys, unless they are girls obviously!

Iโ€™ve had so many experiences with wankers I could write a book. Working for a sexual abuse support service we would often get phone calls from men who loved to phone up and pretend to be victims of abuse then go in to graphic detail of what was obviously a sexual fantasy. We had paid members of staff and volunteers who would work on the telephone helpline and they were told to hang up if these calls came through. I got a call one morning just as Iโ€™d opened up the office, I answered the phone immediately in case it was a genuine person needing help I hadnโ€™t taken my coat off when this guy launches in to the most graphic description of his โ€œabuseโ€ I could hear the tap tap tapping and squelchy sounds in the background and his breathing was getting heavier, I was wondering around turning the lights on switching the computers on, filling the kettle, all the while he was still hard at it โ€œare you shockedโ€ he said when he didnโ€™t get a response from me, โ€œno, I said Iโ€™m just making a cup of tea and ordering the sausage butties for my colleaguesโ€ he hung up on me! Waste of time trying to shock me Iโ€™ve heard it all!

Not wondering around wandering around! Duh!

Bloody hell Abi , you had me choking with laughter over the squeaky bed noises. sorry my minded digressed to dirty thoughts. I did needed that giggle Thank you. hell yes with bells on to a birthday party ๏ฟผso would love to meet you all, I really need something to look forward too. Been struggling for months ,the love of my life my husband is not well hasnโ€™t been since he was a twat and got the 2nd shot ( long story but he knows now I was right which doesnโ€™t help) but anyway he been back and forth to see doctors and the optician about his eyes and headaches to be told itโ€™s his age and it will improve ๏ฟผapparently he has some gel like stuff floating around back of his eye. Well my husband is only 54 . Never had an issue until he was a twat. Itโ€™s not getting better itโ€™s getting worse. Then throw in the every day crap and kids etc etc and other family members being sick. Me being told by friends am a tin hat nutter. So yes party would be good . Wish you all a wonderful weekend. Much love to you all โค๏ธโค๏ธ

Trudi's avatar

Thatโ€™s awful about your husband Sarah and I hope thereโ€™s some improvement for him and for you.

Yes, you must come to the bash, it will be great fun๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’•

Sarah Smith's avatar

Thank you Trudi, sorry for the late reply. Iโ€™ve had to take some time out, to re-charge the 3 years have been awful for so many and it can be so overwhelming. Myself and family have gone through so much when you start to think about itโ€™s heartbreaking. What itโ€™s done to my kids, my brother trying to kill him self in lockdown , my husband vax injuries, being told all the time am a nutter , losing friends etc. then you see what other are you going through, well it just gets so much at time. I could go on and on. But am feeling strong and better. Hope you are ok? looking forward to meeting everyone in person. If it wasnโ€™t for this group etc I would of lost it I think. Much love and thanks to all and Abi โค๏ธโค๏ธ

Abi and substack family, if we did a great wall of heroes, who would you put on it? Several names pop into my head including Abi, obviously, but who would you choose?

ShoutyMum's avatar

This made me lol today. Abs youโ€™re such a knob ๐Ÿ˜‚ the chimp, columbo, the accents, the taxi driver. Much needed laugh.

I have a question for Ask Abi Anything. Have you ever been arrested? If so, what for? Or if not have you ever come close?
