“I could be in Dire Straits. I’m in dire straits right now’
– Alan Partridge (underground and stuck)
I hope all his hard work is Knopfler nothing.
Sorry.
I think it’s quite droll, but what’s the status quo?
Missed a trick there. If the movie had been about Crisp Ratt quantum leaping into a member of dire straights people might’ve actually watched it.
Also Sultans of Swing deserves more love.
Saw this myself and chuckled. Glad to see it here. Thought it was far too mundane to post!
At least they moved those refridgerators.
I just saw this and was about to post it myself. 😄
An ex-soldier takes on private work as a removal man, but a wrong turn finds himself on stage at a Dire Straights gig, with a guitar in his hand.
Much hilarity ensues…
Can’t watch it, other half’s chanting about wanting MTV on instead.
I don’t get it
Years ago now, I had a job writing these descriptions. You write hundreds every day (and at different lengths, in my case), and you just end up doing anything to amuse yourself.
At some point, someone at my company went too far or got graphic with something and they implemented a company-wide auto censoring thing. Any sex related word got picked up and rejected before the description was approved.
The innuendos got more creative but poor Alan Cumming was never credited in any of the things he was in after that day.
haha, I saw this on Sky earlier!
I remember making a similar joke to a radio DJ I know when I called in for a request whilst the sailing dinghy I was in capsized. Poor bloke didn’t understand the joke at all and almost called the Coast Guard despite telling him I was on a inland lake 50 miles from the sea and only a few miles from the studio…

It’s like he’s earning money for nothing
