"Her indoors" is what Arthur Daly used to call his never seen wife in the "Minder" a UK light comedy tv series.
I never watched "Ain't Misbehaving" but did watch all of "Only Fools and Horses" with David Jason. Very funny!

No singing or acting Craig, but a famous sportsman who did have a somewhat entertaining motor mouth.
He did entertain his audiences with his prowess when on view.
PS: When I think of the saucy bits in "Number 96" I think of Delvene Delaney!
I was fairly close Terry. Ok a sportsman who was prevalent in 60s/70s with an 'entertaining motor mouth. In other words someone who liked listening to his own voice, like some of todays sports commentators. I am leaning towards either a cricketer or as you are from WA an AFL player.

Was he a tennis crack? John McEnroe by any chance?
I'd not call a tennis player who insulted players and officials an entertainer. I think you nailed him mate.

No, I doubt it since he's a man of the late 70s / 80s actually.
People tend to have different ideas of "entertainment", though,
I know comedians took off his insults and antics to get laffs.
He'd have to be someone universally known such as McEnroe even if people were not tennis fans.

Sorry Craig, not a cricketer nor an AFL player.
More famous except for say Bradman. Close tho!
He was a Legend of his sport.

Not a tennis player and certainly not McEnroe.
Not angry or rude like McEnroe either.
He often spoke to the press before and/or after his matches in a loud and florid way, about dancing around his opponents, and so on.
In his later life he was a passionate man with a strong moral compass. A very decent and highly respected man.
As a hint he was involved in a "very" contact sport.
You're getting warmer. Think of another sport.

''float like a butterfly, sting like a bee''.
I get a chuckle out of this one.
I had almost forgotten about his pre and post fight comments.

Well done Craig, it was Cassuius Clay or Mohamed Ali.
Your turn!
He was even a conscientios objector during the Vietnam war. A true hero sadly missed after losing his battle with his health. Boxing legend Muhammad Ali's cause of death was septic shock, not Parkinson's disease, as many people expected.
Thanks Terry. A good one mate.Well done Craig, it was Cassuius Clay or Mohamed Ali.
Your turn!
What is this all about. Have you actually done that. I once made the mistake of rubbing my eye after accidently getting curry powder on my finger.
Lived in the first half of last century.

I did indeed do that Craig. It was not a nice experience.
Curry in the eye would have been painful too I bet.
