"I am Mr.Formby George,Rusian citizen and Principal assurance manager for the Lloyds TSB in Scotland. I have a concealed business suggestion for you" Hidden banjoeles?



I don't understand this, are you on drugs? If so, can I have some?

George Formby was a significant Northern UK (Lancastrian, rather than Scottish) performer of a small stringed instrument (Wikipedia refers to is as a ukelele; Lindsay may have decided that more obscurity was required and referred to it as a 'banjoele' [although I believe the more common spelling is 'banjolele']).<br> <br>

I'm well aware who Formby was. I just thought the whole thing was a non-sequitur. P'raps I missed something . <br><br>;)

Maybe Lindsay had the phrase "duelling banjos" stuck in his head and only needed a little spamful prompting to exorcise it?

That double-crossing bastard! I thought that deal was just between the two of us. I don't understand why he would involve Lindsay when I've already sent him $4,000 in export duties and bribes to smuggle banjoeles out of Russia...
