I always loved the line "such a shame how he carried on"

Just sounds like a disappointed grandmother talking about her wayward grandson

Is that what the bus joke is about or is there more to it?

This interpretation is supported by the other line calling him "such a lovely dear".

Rasputin's Ghost killed Bobby Farrell for this.

He died on the morning of 30 December 2010, in a hotel room in Saint Petersburg, Russia, of heart failure.[6] His agent, John Seine, said Farrell had complained of breathing problems and of pain in his chest, which intensified after he performed with his band the prior evening.[7][8] Despite his still present dynamism, he had health problems for a decade. Farrell's body was discovered by hotel staff after he failed to respond to a wake-up call.[9][10] Coincidentally, he died 94 years to the day and in the same city as Grigori Rasputin, the subject of one of his group's most iconic songs and whom he had dressed as in some live performances.

I just gotta say I really am annoyed with how you're constantly downvoted just for using the thorn over an actual th. Uptight bastards need to chill. There are far worse "novelties" one could do.

I don’t downvote them, but I skip their comments immediately. Their thorn obsession messes with the way I read, and I just can’t be bothered to deal with it.

I haven't seen this episode, just learned about it. But after watching the scene, I haven't cringed this hard in a long, long time.
