    JUDGE to Delboy when he was up for fraud: ‘Have you got anything you would like to say for yourself Mr Trotter?’

    DELBOY: I would just like to say that my cheques were always on time. Fair do’s they bounced, but they was always on time!’

    I don’t know what my one was, but here is my favourites:

    Del: (Quietly) During the war…
    Albert: During the war [CONTINUES, BUT NO ONE IS LISTENING]
    (The Jolly Boys’ Outing)

    Del: You’re the one with the GCEs!
    Rodney: I have a GCE in Maths and Art! I ain’t got a GCE in PORK!
    (Sleeping Dogs Lie)

    Del: Who was that?
    Rodney: Er, Mickey Pearce.

    Grandad: Well I’d have to think twice!
    (No Greater Love)

    There are some more: the one where Trigger says Dave although Rodney told him not to say that (Homesick), the ’42-carat plonker’ line that Del said, and “Should I get his balls?” in Sleeping Dogs Lie (Del replies “You leave him alone Rodney!”)

    There’s too many I really like!!

  5. Kevin says:

    Del- I’m an achiever, never actually achieved nuffinck mind you, but I’ve always been in with a shout.

  6. Matt says:

    Casandra’s Dad: what we’ve got here is Hobson’s choice. There’s no train until the morning, no buses, our own coach is somewhat out of action. The coach company have said they’ll send a replacement at 9 am tomorrow morning, so there you have it.
    Trigger: so what you saying then?
    Also:

    Del: you should have more respect, he’s a war hero!
    Albert: I fought for free speech!
    Del: sharaaaaappppp!!!

    • admin says:

      Both Classic one liners

      How about in “Time On Our Hands”
      Del cuts Albert off at “During the..” threatening to pour a cup of tea over his head should he complete the sentence “During the war…”
      Albert cunningly says “During the 1939-1945 conflict with Germany…”
