I was thinking today, what did Viv mean by, "Bye-bye binoculars and mackintosh, everything is just great?" Is there something ungreat about them? I find both useful, although we call it a raincoat over here.

I assume (as binoculars and dirty macs were the de rigeur uniform of the lonely pervert) that he was saying "I've got a girlfriend now, nyah nyah nyah! " I could be entirely wrong.

But right after that, he says, I take elocution...and still I can't find a mate. I just ask because the bins & mac sounds like a birder (birdwatcher).

Or a 'twitcher' as they're know over here.
The two are not entirely unconnected: "I was only watching birds, officer..."

I think it's also about the irony of the guy not actually sounding great, he's got rid of his mac and binoculars but he still sounds incredibly weird. He thinks he's improving himself but he's actually just making himself worse.
