Are these quizzes getting annoying?... hope not, here's a slightly different one, same rules apply - one person asks, people answer, they say who got it right, etc, first one right then answers the next question..

But for this one, Describe a well known comedy CHARACTER NOT the actor or actress.  So you could have Rigsby but not Leonard Rossiter!!!  It can be quite cryptic, that will make it more fun!!

Here's mine... He runs his own business.  Everthing in life annoys him, especially his wife.  He has no sensitivity and thinks he is a snob when he isn't.  He does not have any children (that we know of) and doesn't like Germans.  Who is he?

Uhm, let me see... ah, yes, I hope Phil will forgive me for recycling the "format" of his question, but it comes quite handy... Grin

He runs his own business.  Everthing in life terrifies him, especially his wife.  He's over-sensitive.  He does not have any children (that we know of) despite a frantic activity in the field and doesn't like Germans much but has to do business with them all the time.  Who is he?

Nope... very popular sitcom, still holds the record, I believe, for licensing abroad, well known all over Europe (funnily enough... Wink)

I hoped I didn't have to go to phase three, mentioning sausages and big boobies... Grin

It was indeed René Artois from "'Allo 'Allo".

Over to you, Rogue!

Okay Smiley
He is jobless but looks down on anyone else unemployed, has two children and a few grandchildren, is always putting his wife and family down but secretly has a soft sport for them all, sits on his arse(!) all day long flicking through the TV channels. The only time he moves is for a shite or for a few jars down the "Feathers"

Och, I know who this is, but can only remember the surname (not a great feat of memory, indeed Wink), so I'd better take my fingers itching for Google back to watching Man City rolling over Fulham... sorry about that, Tel... Cheesy

(That could have been my next question, if it was my turn... Grin)

He lives in a flat with another man.  He has a boring job which he hates and an on-off relationship with his girlfriend.  He likes lager.  He needs to grow up a bit.  He is often ridiculed for his large ears.
