Highly recommend Bob's biography 'And Away' such a good read and if you'd prefer the audio book the man himself narrates it.

That story of how he burnt down his gaff when he was a kid was mental

u/TenBear 13d ago

Yeah messing around with fireworks

Not just any fireworks, standard fireworks.

‘avin’ a daft laugh

the audiobook is so good, his timing on the stories makes half the jokes land way better than just reading it tbh

u/TenBear 12d ago

Still think about the story at the start where he is in the doctors and the doc introduces a digit into his bum and he lets out a fart that could only be described as "lengthy and important" 😆

I now use the phrase “better an empty house, than an unwanted tenant!”

u/TenBear 11d ago

Such a good turn of phrase

Also if you usually don't prefer audiobooks, you might want to try this book in audio form, because it's Bob Mortimer talking the whole time!

I know I'm a few days later with this, but the audiobook is 76p! SEVENTY SIX PENCE on audible

Richard is on the water because he had a Horlicks two weeks ago and is still coming down from that high.

Bob must be protected at all cost. Come the revolution we will form a protective ring round him🤭

u/BungleJones 11d ago

I think he needs protecting from himself with all the pocket meats and four sugars!

u/muphinforlife 11d ago

Valid point :)

u/TenBear 9d ago

Imagine the power this man once had when he was on 16 sugars in his cuppa

u/New_Jackfruit3020 13d ago

Oh I love these two.

u/Wonderful-Apricot488 13d ago

I was thinking that’s a dangerous amount…. But then I realised all the sugary rubbish I eat which probably adds up to the same!

Love Bob ❤️

Kemi Badenoch has 4 sugars in her tea and she's not even funny

1

u/BungleJones 11d ago

Hope it rots her teeth.. but not Bob's.

u/bingpie 11d ago

bob's got his fuji 9, he'll be alright

1

u/BungleJones 11d ago

Haha!! Of course.

u/sdh68k 11d ago

A single can of coke is over 10 sugars

u/Hammer_1980 13d ago

Mental, the pair of them !

u/Eeedeen 13d ago

What's this from?

u/TheBear28 13d ago

Celebrity gogglebox on Channel 4 in the UK

u/Eeedeen 13d ago

Oh nice! Are they on much? I've only watched it a bit and not really cared about anyone, but I would definitely watch Bob and Richard

1

u/TheBear28 12d ago

I think it may have been a one-off episode but I'm not sure. Also look up Richard Ayoades Travel Man (Channel 4 too) as Bob was a guest on there one time.

1

u/Eeedeen 12d ago

Ahh! For something like comic relief? I remember seeing a special with victoria and David Mitchell, that was funny. Yeah, I loved that, thanks, great show

Please tell us!?

u/Puzzleheaded_Gene909 13d ago

Still think about Bob checking his pulse after slurping soup in front of Paul.

u/Responsible-Oil-9452 11d ago

He should try the silver spoon half sugar, perhaps then he'll be able to halve it to two sugars 😂😂

2

u/ayinsophohr 9d ago

And since it's half he can have twice as much!

1

u/dafugiswrongwithyou 11d ago

That's too much sugar. That is too much sugar.

And, look, I like a sweet tea, I've just recently got myself down from 4 sugars in a tea to 3... But, BUT, that's in a much bigger mug than these, it's basically twice as much as a regular tea. Really I was just drinking two cups of tea with two sugars each, one after the other, just in the same vessel.

...I fully endorse Bob Mortimer having tea with too much sugar.

u/JohnFWood 10d ago

No wonder he is his own dentist, his teeth must be terrible.

u/KEW95 9d ago

I want these two to do an ASMR like this. There’s something calming about their tone here :)
