Yes, ok, I admit it, I am Alan Patridge - I simply dress up to look a bit older.

*looks at likeness again* I half see it actually in the first picture....Nobody has mentioned it before.

Funnily enough, my friend lent me Alan Patridge series two today and I have been watching it, not seen series one though :(
 
I always knew it paul... You're a soundcard salesman. But I hear he drives a Lexus now in the new series.
 
He has the third best slot on Radio Norfolk apparently....and him and his friend drive Lexi (plural for lexus lol) - his friend is one of the green wing characters (the cocky brown haired "swiss" guy)
 
I am only passing on what they said!

I have 10 lexus doesn't sound right, lexuss sounds better than lexi though lol
 
He does indeed drive a lexus in the third series. Here's an extract. To set the scene, psytochaj, Sorry, Alan is speaking to his geordie pal in the local BP garage, where Michael works. parked outside is Alan's lexus, when His soon to be friend "dan" walks in...

Michael
Aye. Aye, look a Lexus. Hey, it’s a better one than yours. (Laughs)

Alan
It's interesting, Michael, since owning a Lexus it's amazing the number of Lexi you see around. 'Cause that's the plural.

A man enters the shop. He places a newspaper on the counter.

Alan
The Daily Mail.

Dan
Yep.

Alan
Arguably the best newspaper in the world.

Dan
Oh, yeah.

Michael
Nice Lexus.

Dan
Yes, I, er, I love Lexi.

Alan
Yeah, I always have a thing I say about Lexus - it's like the - er –

Dan and Alan
Japanese Mercedes.

Dan
Yeah, well, I hate Mercs. People who drive them are just saaaaaad.

Alan
Are you wearing Lynx?

Dan
Well smelt (man holds up his arm). Voodoo.

Alan
(Alan holds up his arm in the same way) Java. Alan Partridge.

Dan
Dan Moody.

They shake hands.

Alan
Pleased to meet you.

Michael
I wear Tommy Hilfinger.

Alan
It, it, it's Hilfiger.

Michael
No, it says Hilfinger on the bottle.

Alan
Did you buy it down the market?

Michael
Aye.

Alan
Oh, that's why. It's amazing, this Lexus connection, you know. Next you'll be telling me you drink Director's bitter.

Dan
I've got it coming out of my taps.

Alan
Have you?

Dan
I'm joking.

Alan
Great! It's amazing. We both like the Daily Mail, we both drive Lexi –

Dan
Plural.

Alan
Plural. And, er, we both drink Director's bitter. It's like The X-Files. Bu-bu-but a pleasant X-Files.

Dan
The Lex Files.

Alan
God, that's good. Can I shake your hand again?

Dan
Take a card.

They shake hands.

Alan
Oh, you combined the card with a handshake?

Dan
Yeah.

Alan
I used to do that, but, er, I kept getting it wrong. Gave a paper cut to a man from Nestle. (Looking at the card) You own Kitchen Planet on the A416?

Dan
The very same.

Alan
It's massive.

Dan
Oh, 10,000 square feet of sheer kitchens. And I know who you are - Norfolk Nights?

Alan
The very same. And, er, and of course, er. Skirmish. Military-based general knowledge quiz show on, er, digital cable channel UK Conquest that has the largest audience share for a digital channel at that time of day in the Norfolk area.

Michael
Y-you should do him a cheap kitchen. He wants a kitchen –

Alan
Michael, Michael, I wouldn't insult this man by asking for a 25 per cent discount on a kitchen.

Dan
You're looking for a kitchen, I can get you a kitchen: let's talk.

Alan
Fancy a Flav?

Dan
Flavia? Good call.

Alan
King of coffees.

Dan
Oh, in off the red.

Alan
(At the coffee machine) How do you take it?

Dan
Unleaded.

Alan
Mine's diesel.

Dan
What does that mean?

Alan
(Returning with coffee) I don't know. You know, we've got a lot in common. We should go for a proper drink. I mean, you ... you, you provide quality kitchens and I provide –

Dan
Quality radio.

Michael
And I work in a petrol station.

Alan
Yeah, but it's just me and Dan that's going for the drink.

Michael
(Good-naturedly) Oh, yeah, fine. I'll just get hammered on me own.

Alan
Well, I'll - I'll - I'll walk you to your Lexus.

Dan
Great.

Michael
Shall I put these on the tab?

Alan

I haven't got a tab. I wish I could afford a tab. (to dan) I can.. I can afford one. Iv'e got a six figure income

(y)
 
I watched that this afternoon lol, i thought it was series 2 though, it says so on the disc?
 
So I am watching the third series first...typical lol, somebody left series 1 (well, 2 by your rules) in the lounge which I would have borrowed for the afternoon but there was only disc 1 :(
 
Generally the plural or posessive form of a word ending with S is pronounced the same way as the singular form. I know there are exceptions, like radius becoming radii, but it almost never applies to proper nouns. When in the posessive form like, Chris Moyles' radio show, you do not say Chris Moyles's radio show, although most people seem to.

As for Alan Partridge, never watched him. I quite like Steve Coogan's Pauline Calf character though.
 
Don't be offended, Partridge is by far the funniest person I know. so there :p
If u was my mate I would make you wear that blazer all the time and get you to recite partridge classic's to me all day.

So thank God I'm not :D
