* [[Jury Duty]]: Happens to Clive.
* [[Luvvies]]: In one strip, Alex and Clive are in a bar discussing [[Quentin Tarantino (Creator)|Quentin Tarantino]]'s plan to make a [[Shakespeare]] movie. Clive makes a joke "I can see it now: Quentin Tarantino's 'F*@# [[Macbeth]]'." One of the other patrons objects to Clive's language and he immediately apologises and corrects himself to 'F*@# [[The Scottish Trope|The Scottish Play]]' as the final panel reveals the bar is full of luvvies.
* [[Mistaken for Servant]]: Alex and his American boss Cyrus are invited to a grouse shoot, for which Cyrus buys a brand new set of tweeds to wear (having never been to one), despite repeated warnings to get a used set instead. At the shoot, Cyrus gets tipped by another guest, who believed he was the gardener breaking in the new tweeds for the lord of the house.
* [[Must Have Nicotine]]: The Smokers Club
* [[Oop North]]: Any strip involving Hardcastle.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Clive's American girlfriend Ruth and their lovechild, who vanished from the comic in the late 90s and have not been seen since.
* [[Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome]]: Alex's son, Christopher, has gone from birth to age 20 in roughly 14 years.
* [[Strip Buffer]]: Averted. The strips are drawn the day before publication.
