    "Sadly, hopefully doth butter no parsnips!"
    My new favourite saying.

      +BeautifulMagical What does it mean?

    • @GooseWhisperer
      @GooseWhisperer 8 ปีที่แล้ว +32

      +Tommy Sasaki it means that saying it will "hopefully" be responded to isn't good enough
      i.e. he wants to make sure it happens

      Tommy Sasaki it just means something isn’t good enough

    • @lefinlay
      @lefinlay 6 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      “........doth butter no parsnips” is an idiom. ‘Hopefully’ is replaceable with any statement orword which is deemed not good enough

    • @Shivian124
      @Shivian124 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      They would have to work out the exact location the previous photo was taken and take a photo of the taxi rank there. Which may not be valid because it was not taken at the time of the offence. E.g. would it prove the taxi rank signs were there at the time of the offence? No. Sounds like they were lazy and took insufficient photo.

    • @nicosmind3
      @nicosmind3 3 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      I think Joe perfectly demonstrated through absurdity that they didnt have proof at all, and if they thought it was proof enough for a fine, that Joe provided proof enough to not get a fine.

    That story (if true) is so funny I was laughing for ages. When he said "Hopefully doth butter no Parsnips" & "hopefully you won't get caught up in the forthcoming" I almost coated my entire keyboard with a mouthful of tea. Note to self: don't drink tea when watching Joe Lycett on TV.

    • @Anonymous-or4ru
      @Anonymous-or4ru 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Fake. He claims it's genuine, however, look at old footage and he laughs normally. Carr is a phoney. Saw him live in 2014, (was a big fan at that time) and the whole thing was an abortion. He had no posters up at the venue, no merchandise, nothing. Walking into the place prior to the show felt like a funeral wake. And then came his routine. It was about 2hrs, and after the first hour I was falling asleep. Really lazy comic, loads of shit one-liners. He's ok presenting shows but the rest of his act sucks. Arrogant twat.

    • @Anonymous-or4ru
      @Anonymous-or4ru 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Glad to see other good acts emerging like Joe Lycett. Wilkinson is funny in an odd way. Rob Beckett is kinda goofy too. Greg Davies, yes! Old and very talented faves like Bill Bailey & Rhod Gilbert will always have class but Jimmy Carr has rested on his laurels and become tedious.

    • @Anonymous-or4ru
      @Anonymous-or4ru 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      By merchandise I meant his DVD's/a program. DVD's are standard at comedy acts. From the minute we approached the venue he/his promoters had done nothing. Lazy. Much like his routine on stage was.

    • @mikemcfry7310
