Ladyboy (Drinks)[edit]

I am writing regarding the suggestion that the Ladyboy (Drinks) article should be merged with the I'm Alan Partridge article. While the connection with Alan Partridge is irrefutable, I think the ladyboy is a phenomenon that deserves an article of its own - in the same way that the TV show "Frasier" is more than just a footnote to "Cheers". By having an article for the ladyboy drink, Wikipedia users will have somewhere to add their own interpretations of this sub-culture. L-man 12:17, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am in full agreement with the L-man. This drink is more than just a 'part of Alan Partridge'. In many ways, it has succeeded where he has failed. A page of its own is just reward.

I also concur. The lady-boy drink is a separate sub-culture. Although is has its roots in I'm Alan Partridge, it has become an independent entity very much worth of its own space. The 'Bars which list Ladyboy on their menu' section, which I can foresee, would indeed have no relevance to the Alan Partridge article. --Splidje 16:42, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the drink deserves it's own page, as it has a life of it's own outside the show. Sublium 01:57, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I totally aggree --Ood 10:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't want to drink it though

How exactly has the ladyboy drink got "a life of its own outside AP"? I have never heard of it being mentioned as a real drink combination in pubs. If it were, then surely it would have been mentioned in the article. No... this should be merged with the main I'm Alan Partridge article. The LB drink has no relevance whatsoever apart from the mention in one AP episode. EuroSong ^talk 21:26, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No-one but a dedicated Partridge fan would ever want to drink this (I speak from experience), nor would they ever have heard of a Ladyboy in this context. Plus, 'Bars which list Ladyboy on their menu' ?! I think we can safely say there are none. The pages should be merged. Mike Sampson. (www.conradknightsocks.co.uk)

Think it should be kept. Your mate in the pub says "time for a lady boy" - what do you do? quick look on this page on your phone and there you go. Don't want to have to look all the way down the Alan Partridge page... --Jabba27 11:51, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

KeepOwwmykneecap 02:15, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This might part of a fictional show but there are pages here that talk about things like the Klingon language. If this goes, so should they. Martin Le Roy 14:58, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

~~The reason that is never listed on a bar's menu or indeed ever actually ordered is because it tastes vile, seriously vile. However, that does not mean that the drink does not exist, I'm in distant Slovenia and not really such a fan of the show but I have heard of this drinks combination. It must be kept!

Dave Clifton[edit]

I was under the distinct impression that Alan got the better of Dave most of the time.

Yes I agree, although Dave gets his fair share of digs in it is always Alan who has the last word. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.195.182.104 (talk) 09:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Film adaptation of I'm Alan Partridge[edit]

Is there any reliable citations for this statement? It seems incomprehensible that Victoria Beckham could of would play Lynn in any film version of Partridge. Joewoods (talk) 10:16, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I must admit, I thought it might be a joke addition when I saw that, but it appears to be quite a widespread rumour if one does a Google search[1]. There is a need for a more reliable citation, though. Bob talk 20:23, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal for Michael (I'm Alan Partridge)[edit]

This spin-off article not only duplicates information from here, but is also unreferenced. There is nothing in it to establish real-world notability, so I have proposed this merger. --Rodhull andemu 17:00, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Rodhull andemu 15:10, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal for Lynn Benfield[edit]

Much as above, duplicate, unsourced and no indication of real-world notability. --Rodhull andemu 15:12, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done --Rodhull andemu 16:56, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
