Prue and DesMarriage guidance with Prue and Des.






Name:Rebecca
Location: Peebles
Question: Do you like waking up in the morning and smelling cooked breakfast like egg or bacon so on and so forth?
PRUE:Chance'd be a fine thing - generally all I can smell is beer fumes rising off of the fat lump in bed next to me in the morning.
DES: Yeah and I try not to wake up in the morning. Prue without make-up does nothing for a hangover. Mind you, even with make-up ...

Name: Angus
Location: Fife
Question: Whose idea was it to get the Corner Bar?
PRUE:Mine.
DES: No, mine.
PRUE: Beg pardon, but it was me that thought since Des spent most of his life in the pub anyway, we might as well develop his "hobby" into a profit making enterprise.
DES:Yeah, but I spent years developing my "hobby" in the first place!

Name:Steve
Location: Worcester
Question:What is the Gaelic for 'I don't like'?
PRUE:Ooo, um ...I think it's "Cha toigh leam" but I'll have to check with Colin ....
DES:Don't keep pestering him you stalker! I'll tell you the Gaelic for "I don't like" Steve .... Bleeerrrrghh! There, that's universal that is ....
PRUE:Tt! Philistine.
DES:Bleeeerrrrghhh!

Name:Des
Location:Belfast
Question: What did you get up to when you were in the Strawberry Biscuits and do you have any of your lyrics we could see?
PRUE: Ooo, I couldn't possibly tell you all the things we got up to, it'd be X-rated.
DES: I don't really think accidentally unravelling Val Doonican's jumper warrants an 18 certificate.
PRUE: Ignore him, he doesn't remember the half of it for obvious reasons, surprise, surprise!
DES: Listen Cilla, I remember you sang like a herniated banshee. That's one thing I'll never forget ...
PRUE: Then why did a French singing legend tell me I had the voice of an angel?
DES: He didn't, you silly moo! It was his accent, what he said was "You 'ave ze voice of an ANVIL!"
PRUE: So how come he sang that duet with me then, when we were backstage at the Arena? I sang the verse and he joined in with the chorus -"All I wanna doo, is spin you round and shake you up and peg you on my line, I'll sort you out like laundry babe, we'll hang in the sunshine,I'll clean you up and dry you out And all you have to do is shout- ""HELP!" That last bit's the part he sang. Because it was the chorus.
DES: No, because you were trapped in the lift and he was shouting for assistance!

Name: Byron Jenkins
Location: Aberdare
Question:What is the best way for you to say 'I love you' if you know the girl doesn't like you?
PRUE: Some will tell you to say it with flowers. Personally, I find nothing talks louder than a whopping great diamond.
DES: Say it with beer! No, hang on that's how I ended up married to Prue ... On second thoughts Byron, if she doesn't like you, why bother? You're letting yourself in for a world of pain and there are far gentler ways of passing your time, rugby for instance, or extreme sky boarding ...

Name: midwalesfootball
Location: Mid Wales
Question: Now that you are both a very happy couple, what's Gaelic for; "Not tonight darling, I've got a headache" and "oh go on"?
PRUE: I find a biff over the head with my antique copper warming pan does the trick.
DES: Happy couple? Who's been spreading vicious rumours?

Name: Lauren Podd
Location: Newport, South Wales
Question: How can u learn Gaelic when you are looking at the character's profiles?
PRUE: The profiles are there for information Lauren, you need to play "The Game" and do other stuff to learn the language.
DES: Like chasing Colin you mean?
PRUE: I do not chase Colin, he is fatally wotchacallit by my magnetic personality.
DES: The word you're looking for is "repelled".

Name: Graham C.
Location: Bellaire, TX
Question: Where did you go on your honeymoon?
DES: The Horse and Groom.
PRUE: Huh! Yeah, no expense spared!
DES: Be fair - I bought you a Tequila Sunrise, they're not cheap.
PRUE: Unlike you then.

Name: Sally
Location: Belfast
Question: Married life exposes the best and worst of a person. Tell me, what is the best and worst feature of each other?
PRUE: Des's best feature is his warmth - even when he's drunk he's everybody's friend, buying rounds, drinks on the house etc. His worst feature is - he's always drunk. No wonder we never make a profit.
DES: Prue's best feature: she's got a figure to die for. Worst feature: She's gonna make me die before I get anywhere near it.

Name: Greig
Location: Scotland
Question: I'm getting married in a few weeks and to be honest I'm freaking out! Any advice or tips?
PRUE: My advice is - if you're a man, always let the woman win. If you're a woman, always let the man think he's letting you win. And if all else fails, there's always chocolate.
DES: My advice is - Run. Like the wind.
