I was watching that advert concerning car insurance, and remembered a story relating to the subject matter about a parrot. All this took place in Woolwich and concerned that Commedian known as Jim Davidson. That guy was reknowned for his many marriages, apart from other things. Well too cut a long story short, he had an argument with this particular wife of the time, in regards this parrot that he had. This bird was quite 'blue' and I'm not refering to the unfeathered variety! She gave him an ultimatum that either this parrot go, or she would. So he had to give the parrot away as this woman would not compromise on the subject. He had a mate, who was the governor of a certain public house called 'The Admiral' who agreed to take this parrot. He used to have it in a cage behind the bar. And on occassions used to let this bird out to walk along this bar counter in front of the punters. The pub in question was a very popular haunt for squaddies at that time, was always packed usually three deep at the bar. A lot of women used to frequent this establishment, the usual camp followers, WRAC's, pads wives, you name it. Anyway this bloody bird used to waltz along the bar swearing and cursing at all these females, as it hated women for its own particular reason. The women used to love being abused by this bird. There is nothing stranger than the female. Don't you agree? Us guys used to be in hysterics over our alcoholic refreshments watching this bloody parrot strut it's stuff in full abusive flow! Surreal to say the least,
I think the governor of this pub must have given praise to the gods for delivering such a crowd puller into his establishment. I've never seen anything like this since, those carefree days. Happy memories....... Give me colourful characters everytime, including the feathered variety on this occassion! What say you?......
