People may say that you can't have one without the other, well I say they're crazy. Orville never comes without Keith Harris, but Keith Harris clearly comes without Orville. Keith sometimes even works with a monkey called Cuddles. Talk about versatile! My vote goes for Keith. Or it would do, if there was a poll attached to this, which there isn't. So I can't vote. But if I could, my vote would go for Keith. Orville is Ernie Wise to Keith's Eric. There. I've said it. |

I think your arguement does, indeed, hold water but your Eric and Ernie analogy is just pie in the sky. However history may record Eric to be the funny one it is clear that neither one can operate without the other due, no doubt, to some ancient curse in flicted on the clans of Wise and Morecombe insuring that for all eternity that one will only ever be found in the company of the other. That's why a Morecombe or a Wise has never been Prime Minister or Monarch or Director General of the BBC as these are jobs that can't be shared by a double act (although that thing with the paper bag would be a definate boon to these professsions). However, is not the power of Keith Harris at it's pinicle on those rare occassions he is accompanied by bother the monkey and the duck!

I can't think for a worse place for pie to be than in the sky - think of the damage it could cause! Of course, Orville would never be bothered by said pie as the silly green sod can't fly. You may be right about Eric and Ernie, although I do think that they shifted time and managed to copy Ant and Dec's style. This can only be the work of a timelord. Perhaps Keith Harris is a timelord? That would bring us full circle... |

Eric Morecombe and Keith Cuddles were a famous TV comedy double act of the sixties inventing such famous catch frases as 'bring me sunshine' 'short fat hairy legs' 'oooh I hate you Butler' 'yeah but no but yeah but' 'suits you Sir' and 'New Labour'. |

Glad I'm not the only one out of the loop. I figured if I keep reading I may figure it out. At first I thought Andy was comparing something to Orville popcorn.

What I want to know is why Orville, when he is supposed to be a duck, has the beak of a chicken? I blame brainwashing by Colonel Sanders. It's an attempt to persude people that eating chicken which has gone green is perfectly normal. Keith Harris is on the payroll at KFC. You heard it here first! |

Yes and Cuddles is in fact a pot noodle in a hopeless atempt to convince us that these are also edible. |

After studying that photo closely, I am convinced that Orville's cheeks are actually spray-painted bull's testicles. |

I'll defer to your greater knowledge of bull's testicles. I just think it's cruel to name a flightless bird after one of the Wright brothers. |

I was de-friended by a bunch of people a month or so back. The thing I don't understand is - am I supposed to be upset about that? Am I supposed to go and have a big old cry because there are going to be less people sending me virtual matchbox cars, challenging me to pillow fights or inviting me to find out which tumble dryer I am? That's so primary-school - "I'm not your friend any more, nyer, nyer!" Fine, whatever, I'll survive. The really embarrassing thing is that Keith Harris and Orville have de-friended each other but they're both still on my list so they use my profile to stalk each other. I wonder what I should do about this. |

Whoaa......i too saw the pictures of her. You know the saying about being careful what you say or do, it may come bite you in the ass. In Nat's case, a picture speaks a thousand words. I guess to each it's own. My family would clobber me if I ever did that when i was younger. As far as losing friends, I haven't noticed. I'm with Bill on the pillow fights, how smart am I, which Beatle am I (Ringo/lol). I don't have the time to do all those things. I joined mainly to keep up with my family news with my nieces and nephews. I have 9 siblings and only 1 belongs to faceBook, for the same reason as me. To some people it's a popularity contest. I like to keep mine on the small side, and even then, I can be bombarded with the games, which I never play, well except the kick me in the ass one, Bev sent. lol |

If you want to be photographed laying on your stomach in a bubble bath with a plastic duck in your crack, more power to you. Just don't post them on a public networking site and subject the public to them. |

I'd go further than that and say if you want to post them in a public forum, then go for it but don't expect it to go unnoticed or uncommented on and don't be surprised if not all the comments are what you might have hoped for. |

I defriended everyone from facebook when I got rid of it for being a complete waste of bloody time. However Bill has now made me quite insecure as I've come to realise I really don't know what sort of tumble dryer I am. Please someone, tell me if yoiu think you know. |

I'm less worried about being de-friended as someone taking offense at what was an obvious and very friendly joke. I suppose when somebody takes themselves that seriously, it becomes an impossibility to share a joke with them about their "work". |
