SHOWDOWN: Shaking Stevens or Basil Fawlty?  
one had an impressive string of hits in the British charts, the other ran this funny little hotel. in the end it all comes down to this choice: listenting to music? or sleeping in hotels while having a jolly good laugh? which one do you prefer?

Hi Manuel 
come to think of it, it must have been tough to translate that show into Spanish. or did it air in original with subtitles? If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. | |

I saw it in Catalan (Barcelona and surroundings language). Manuel talked in Spanish with a South American accent | |

Shaky!  Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad. |

I have no idea what a Shaking Stevens is, but put Basil Fawlty beside just about anyone/thing, and he wins, so I assume he wins here. "Knowledge is preferable to ignorance.

but they were both pretty good in doing some "Silly Walks" ...so for me it's still a tough one   If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. | |
