Favorite Minder quotes and characters?

Despite its slow decline (in my opinion) when Denis Waterman left, it is still my all time favorite comedy.

Anyone got some memorable quotes?

Heres a couple of my favourites:-

1. The world is your lobster my son.
2. Arthur enquiring who Kubla Khan was at a pub quiz
" yeah, but did he bat or bowl?"

Great supporting characters :-

Arnie (Ray Winston) Des (George Layton) Chisholm (Patrick Malahide) Dave (Glynn Edwards)

Equally great dodgy one off appearances :-

Mournful, The Syrup, Scooter, Tic Tac (Billy Connely), Confident (Patrick Mower)

Please post a reply with your favourites :-)

I loved the line in one of the later episodes where Arthur was trying to get into the golfing club, and as the chairman approched in his car, Arthur quickly got out his mobile phone and said

"Oh yes sir. And how is Lady Tesco?"

That line always cracked me up!
