🌟 “Salí a buscar el amor de mi vida… y regresé con un cartón de chelas”: la confesión más humana de Rafael Amaya 🍻

By -

  Durante años, el rostro de Rafael Amaya ha estado asociado con poder, peligro y seducción. Como Aurelio Casillas, el protagonista de El Señor de los Cielos , fue el símbolo de una masculinidad feroz: el hombre que lo tenía todo y que no temía a nada. Pero detrás del personaje, hay un ser humano que aprendió —con golpes, risas y lágrimas— que la vida no siempre se conquista a balazos ni con glamour… sino con humildad, humor y una cerveza en la mano. La frase “Salí a buscar el amor de mi vida y regresé con un cartón de chelas” no es solo una broma viral. Es un reflejo del nuevo Rafael Amaya. Un hombre que, después de haberlo tenido todo y perder casi todo, ha decidido reírse de sí mismo, abrazar la imperfección y celebrar los pequeños placeres que antes pasaban desapercibidos. Hubo un tiempo en que Rafael vivía en modo Aurelio : siempre acelerado, rodeado de fama, luces y ruido. El éxito de la serie lo lanzó a la cima, pero también lo sumergió en una soledad silenciosa. En 2019...

The Top 25 Hyacinth Bucket Quotes from Keeping Up Appearances

By -


 Every now and then, television gives us characters who are both incredibly distinctive and imminently quotable. Keeping Up Appearances‘ Hyacinth Bucket (that's BOUQUET!) is one such character.

Top 25 Memorable Hyacinth Bucket Quotes From Keeping Up Appearances



No, you cannot have a number 24, nor a double portion of 37. This isn't the Chinese takeaway. This is a private slimline white telephone with no connection whatsoever to any business or trade. Especially not one of foreign extraction!

There's nothing like Hyacinth getting taken down a notch by someone trying to order a Chinese takeaway on her beloved slimline white telephone. This particular exchange comes from Series 1, Episode 1: Daddy's Accident.



Rose, you will not commit suicide. I forbid it!

This brilliant exchange is from Series 1, Episode 2: The New Vicar. Some modern audiences may cringe at her lack of mental health awareness, but so much of Hyacinth's charm is wrapped up in her total lack of awareness of anything that isn't a status indicator.



Elizabeth, if you could pass round my Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles. 

In Series 1, Episode 2: The New Vicar, we see one of many mentions of the infamous Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles. It's actually a pattern called “Braganza”, manufactured by The Colclough China Company. The Colclough China Company was founded in 1890 and taken over by Royal Doulton in the early 1970s. Braganza was discontinued in the early 1990s.



Hyacinth expresses her secondhand ambition for Richard.

Sheridan deserves a father full of executive stress, wearing a bow tie. 

In Series 1, Episode 4: The Charity Shop, Hyacinth expresses that she “wonders sometimes about a bow tie” as she's seeing her dear husband off to work. Deadpan, he replies that it wouldn't suit her, and they launch into a discussion about his career trajectory and how his lack of promotions might be tied to his lack of a bow tie. 



I hope you're not going to spoil things with lower middle-class humour.

This classic Hyacinth line comes from Series 2, Episode 2: Driving Mrs. Fortescue. Eager to befriend a cantankerous old woman whose sister married a baronet, Hyacinth volunteers herself and Richard to shuttle her around town. As you can say of nearly every episode, it doesn't go according to Hyacinth's plans.



I once caught Richard playing with a frisbee. He said it's one he found, but I've never been sure. 

In Series 2, Episode 5: Problems with Relatives, Hyacinth's brother-in-law is stuck in a tree, leading her to pontificate on the way in which men never fully grow up. Just think if he'd actually BOUGHT the frisbee. Heaven forbid!



Now kindly clear this line! There are people of substance in this community who are probably queuing to ring me at this very moment.

In Series 2, Episode 7: Singing for Emmet, Hyacinth is once again stymied by the use of her phone for something other than important social matters.



Because it's always lovely to be reduced to the guy who “works in one of those Arab countries” and the woman who “drops things”

I've got Elizabeth and Emmet here. You remember Elizabeth, from next door. Her husband works abroad somewhere; one of those Arab countries. Yes, you met her at one one of my candlelight suppers. She drops things.

Nobody can distill people to their very essence quite like Hyacinth does. This Hyacinth quote comes from Series 2, Episode 8: The Toy Store, when she's on the phone with Violet. 



How fares the church worldwide then, vicar? For instance, what is the missionary position in China these days?

In Series 2, Episode 10: A Picnic for Daddy, poor, oblivious Hyacinth makes a most impertinent enquiry…

  Una Stubbs obituary This article is more than 3 years old Sparkling actor whose long, eclectic career ranged from Shakespeare to Sherlock Bright and bubbly, tart and twinkly, Una Stubbs, who has died aged 84, was a revue regular and a Palladium pantomime principal boy who parlayed her natural song-and-dance talent into a later, diverse career on the classical stage. In earlier years she was best known for her roles alongside Cliff Richard in two high-spirited pop musical movies –  Summer Holiday  (1963) and  Wonderful Life  (1964) – and as Alf Garnett’s daughter, Rita Rawlins, married to a socialist layabout ( Anthony Booth , Cherie Blair’s father and so Tony’s father-in-law), in  Johnny Speight ’s classic TV series  Till Death Us Do Part  (1965‑75) and in episodes of its 1980s sequel,  In Sickness and in Health . Both of these incarnations are unimaginable today: a docile, amenable dolly bird hanging around Cliff and the Shadows, and a tol...
