Here comes Bob. His name’s actually Robert but he has trouble pronouncing his R’s, and Wobert sounds a bit odd!
I’ve known him since our school days. We were in a sweet shop once and he pointed to the bars of chocolate and asked for one. The assistant showed him a bar of dark chockie and asked if it was the one he wanted. Bob said ‘wight’ meaning right, but the guy misunderstood him and changed for a bar of the white stuff!
He still laughs about the time he went to a speech therapist. He said, ‘I’m having twouble with my R’s, and the therapist said, ‘you need to see a doctor not me’!
He’s great at playing Scwabble. For some reason, he always gets the W tiles and never the R’s, but he doesn’t seem to mind because W’s are worth four times as much! His score spiwals up as yours stands still.
He’s someone worth knowing, an impressive guy. Tall, handsome, polite, generous, not a care in the world. He’s impossible to wind up and has a handshake as firm as a vice. My hand’s still wounded from the last time we met!
He’s getting married to the love of his life soon. The only problem is, her name’s Ruby. They’ll probably become known as Bob and Booby!

If you are in the UK you’ll no doubt remember this hilarious clip from one our greatest TV comedies ever, Only Fools and Horses!

Well done take on the challenge, Keith. Those are some difficult words to weave.
Thanks, Suzette, they weren’t the easist!
I weally, weally, like this character, Keith, and the TV clip, not exactly K.D.Lang and Roy Orbison but, they’re icons and irreplaceable.
So true, Len!
Great story Keith and that clip is brilliant I do miss that series it was definitely a classic British humour at its best 😃
Lovely jubbly Ange! They don’t make comedy like that any more.
Can’t beat Only Fool and Horses for comedy. Good take my friend.
So true, Di! Thank you.
Willoughby wobbly
Yes he will! Thanks, Beth.
Heeheehee! Maybe he needs to nickname her, “My Diamond.”
Thanks for the fun story!
Good point, I’ll suggest it!
Oh, that was hilarious! And I recognized an incredibly young “Mr. C” from Grantchester. Great stuff!
Thanks so much, Nancy. I guess you’re referring to Tessa Peake-Jones, Raquel in that clip – well spotted
Yes, she’s marvelous!
