Friend In Bank

[Patsy33]

My friend who works in the bank, said he has seen Gilbert O'Sullivan a couple of times. I asked what he thought he was there for. Friend answered;
"A loan again, naturally"

[Hopkirk]

Is that your friend Clair?

[sunny-dave]

Are you taking The Mikado?

[Ken4155]

I assume your friend told Gilbert a loan was Out Of The Question:-)
By the way, Patsy, he also sang a song called 'A Friend Of Mine'. Pity you didn't open with that ;-)

"No Matter How I Try" to get a loan the answer is always "It's out of The question".

[Patsy33]

Didn't know that, Ken. That would have been perfect. :-))

[Hopkirk]

Apparently when he asks for a loan the bank staff ask "Why oh why oh why?"

[bobbinwales]

You should have asked him Who was it I saw you with.
Was asked to write some verses once for Gilbert Osullivan threw them out as Nothing rhymed

[DTCwordfan]

You should try asking this in a Penzance bank.....it's positively terminal.

I deposited some money in the bank. The kingfisher looked surprised

[murraymints]

get yer coat !

[Chipchopper]

I'll get my body warmer, there's no arm in that

[bobbinwales]

Not another GOS pun but just an obsavation. I allways thought Matrimony was one of Gilberts most famous hit singles - seemed to be played a lot in early 70s and on Radio 2 for many years but on checking his singles list today found that it was released twice but never hit the top 40. Are the charts list wrong?

Reached No 8 in 1970.

This one tonyav

[tonyav]

Reached No 4 in the Netherlands in 1972, no chart success in the UK though. I'm surprised at that.

[Patsy33]

I'm surprised too!

[royfromaus]

He'd win strictly if he got the invite... if the shapes he's knocking out in that video are any guide.
