Krankies Christmas

[ploughman]

Please tell me what I heard today is wrong- that little Jimmy Krankie isnt really a cheeky wee Glaswegian schoolboy, but a 69 year old granny! The Krankies are the finest comedy duo Scotland has produced, and I just cant believe Ive been duped all these years.

...and Father Christmas doesnt exist, neither does the tooth fairy and babies arent brought by a stork.

Well I watched the Krankies in the 1970s and they always had their real husband and wife names in the credits, it has never been a secret! You've just chosen to not believe, I'll bet you think Andy Stewart used to be able to sing too eh?

The rumours that this here Internet spreads - tut! - next, you'll be trying to tell me that Dale Winton is gay, or even sillier, talented!

Dale Winton is gay?!?!?!?

Mel Brooks is Jewish!?!?!?!?!

It has just occured to me that this post is in Arts and Literature!
Which one of those do the The Krankies fit into exactly?

So sorry, reality reigns. He is really a she. !!!

[ploughman]

Well having watched the Krankies for many years, it did vaguely occur to me that wee Jimmy never got any older! But I still dont believe it. I think you are all part of some conspiracy. He IS a wee Scottish lad and he is Fandabidozi!!

*shudders* the Krankies epitomise all that I hate about scotland. And that's got to be a very strange thing in a marriage, to have your wife dress up as a school boy.

Seriously though, how could you not realise? It didn't occur to you that a kid wearing a school uniform for 30 years and not getting any older was a little weird.

You are all bonkers! Or should I say Kronkers!

Isn't she really Ian McCartney Labour party chairman ?

[dotjhawkes]

Plus it was a Jimmy Clitheroe knock off, (now I am showing my age!)

[ploughman]

Zen I almost split my sides when I actually realised just who Ian McCartney is!!! The name didnt register at all so I went through any Labour men I could think of and yes he is a dead spit of wee Jimmy!!! Who is, I maintain, a cheeky Scottish schoolboy, and not someones auld granny. I know he is because ive... Ive ...er.. met him. Yes I have and Ive also met the Broons and Ooor Wullie

Last time I saw them they were living in Torquay and she (Jimmy) is quite attractive when her normal self and when I saw her she was in a jewellery shop choosing some very nice bracelets!
