It means that Dave's been working with Harry Hill!
I'm not sure that it's a clue at all. SBD was a little vague when he posted this morning, but I think he was just referencing the badger obsession which had sprung up on this thread.
Squawker, it's already been established that the London Eye clue refers to Victoria, so I really don't think there's any point trying to give that clue new solutions.
(Forceful, aren't I?)

Nice idea, but I think it's more than that.
Argos = Argonauts = Jason
Jason = Friday 13th = Unlucky for some
Unlucky for some = bingo = full house
Full House = American comedy = George W. Bush
47 = prime = Tony Blair
So...Coops is the Tony Blair to Derren's Dubbya (ie the person who gets his hands dirty for little reward).
[Spasm/Squawker logic]

Assuming it's not an unsubtle threat to Hedge, that means it's some sort of trimming device...that cuts things, like hedges...or maybe other things... god this is hard, I give up.

Maybe Coops 'prunes away the wastrels, expunges the wretched and deletes the worthless'...
Blimey, he's the Inquisitor! 
That clue with Victoria, and the 'nowt to do with the scouse'?
Well, Victoria's the 'Dwarf', and the football team is the 'Red'. See?
Or maybe it's nothing to do with Lister (who's a scouser!)...

HHHHHHHHHHmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
sounds like the Irish Argos may be the same one,
but then again.............!
Just to let you know,
somebody sent me a pm with the correct answer,
asked me not to name them,
all i can say is they are a froum regular.
They dont want the prize so it is still going.
Thanks for the PM, please dont PM me about this as i'm getting ready for tour now and i need the mailbox space.
Once again, well done 'MYSTERY FORUMITE' i will not reveal your identity.

i work for argos if thats any help  will look it up tomorrow, but i do think the irish ones are the same.
The only problem is which catalogue was sir big dave looking in the standard catalogue or the extra one which is different.
i think it would be easier for him to just TELL US.
pppllllleeeeaaaasssseeee xXx

Spaz, I may never have made a valid contribution to this thread - well apart from (virtual) gin
But I'd like you to know that I've been with you all the way!
*Sadly shuffles back to everyday life clutching VERY large gin*
CHEERS! . . .

FUCK!
I've assertained coops is pregnant!
How?
Well.
Llanfair clue - take away.
Carbon in purest form - letters
take away letters = contractions
Add the affair, and the explanation.
Coops has some serious explaining to do, after the contractions prove he had an affair wiht an alien.
Not a phrase tho, and doesn't relate to argos... but man being pregnant! That's one for the tabloids!
Also - Harry Hill. He pulled out of the Bury St Edmunds charity gig in October. Pulled out.
So we have takeaway, and pulled out. Hmm.
