Listening to some programme on the telly this morning I giggled when the guy doing the talkover said " As I rose above his organ I know I was privileged to have a go on it" I looked up to see him sat next to an organist as it rose from beneath the stage in an old music hall.... lol

Which reminded me of other little mistakes written or heard over the years..
In a Community Profile written in 1971 by a local Nun (who by chance has the same birth name as me :shock smile

"Many a young lad has passed through Father Toms hands", gave us all a giggle in the office when we spotted that one! :lol: :lol:
The famous one by Tony Blackburn introducing the next song "Wide legged and eyeless" instead of Wide eyed and Legless..
And of course my sister telling me that her driving instructor said that her driving "was Erotic" she meant Erratic!!!! rolleyes

Know any more?? confused

:roll:

Sports commentators have made some beauties:-)
'Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the Cambridge president is kissing the cox of the Oxford crew.'
-- Harry Carpenter (BBC TV, University Boat Race 1977)
'The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willey.'
-- Brian Johnston (as Michael Holding faced Peter Willey)
A personal one was many years ago when visiting an elderly aunt, who was extolling the virtues of her new bisexual spectacles :-)

David Coleman was an arch-exponent - the Coleman Balls of Private Eye fame.
Two from the Olympics.
As the transmission just started... "Welcome everybody - you're just in time to see the high jump over the satellite"
And as the Mexican(?) 400 metres runner Juantorena made a sprint for the line in the 400 metres "And Juantorena opens his legs and shows his class".
There must be more.

There is the famous line from Blue Peter after a piece on antique (?) door furniture - "What a lovely pair of knockers".
When I was a child I used to mix and match words. I used to mix up 'famished' and 'ravenous' and occasionally announced to my family that I was 'ravished'. They NEVER let on!!!!!!!!!!

In my late teens I used to spend my lunch times chatting to the always very attractive receptionsists at work. One similarly young and very attractive leggy blonde girl was telling me how she had just booked her and her boyfriend a holiday in the Canaries. It was her first holiday alone with her bf and also her first holiday abroad and she was so looking forwards to it as over there the weatheris so hot and sunny ....
"well they have a totally different climax to us don't they?"
she asked :shock: :shock: :shock:

I was with friends at an event and one of them had just had a go on a potters wheel.. as he wanted to take the item he'd made home that day the tutor said to me, go find the man in the hat with the big blow torch (to dry the clay out quicker lol

)
I turned round to have looksee and I saw this guy in a hat walking towards me and said "oh, hiya are you the guy with the big..." and before I could say another word, this lady walking next to him piped up "I think you have the wrong person dear, he certainly isnt big" confused

:? :lol: :lol: "blow torch" says me......
I found the guy with the big blow torch!! Was a whopper :giggle:
