I've liked his work on 'Have I Got News For You'
He was one of the guests on probably my favourite episode ever ... the one where everyone gangs up on that prick Kilroy. Des Lynham was hosting IIRC That was all kinds of brilliant but talk about your easy targets. Sometimes he can be really good like that but others he seems to struggle a little without prepared material. Though thinking about now he has got better over time. Trouble is on QI some one of the guests always seem to struggle to get heard. Often because Davis and Fry just dont leave a lot of room for anyone else to work. |

Yeah, Linda Smith never really got across as well as she did elsewhere, for example.
Some people just adapt. Phil Jupitus was rubbish to begin with, but improved MIGHTILY over time. I think Johnny Vaughan has potential too.
John Sessions can fuck off though.

haha your hatred of QI-based Sessions always amuses me, I can see where you're coming from though
Good point with Phill, IMO he's the best QI guest nowadays. He, Jimmy Carr and Sean Locke ALWAYS get lulz aplenty
Johnny Vaughan, I agree, is looking better each time he appears. It'd be nice to see more of Clarkson as well.

I can see how people would dislike Clarkson but I love him. He has a no nonsense approach to life, on the whole cracking taste in TV, films and movies, he knows rather a lot, makes quality telly and as you say is as sharp as a tack.
Quality writer as well

Anybody catch that documentary he did about VC winners? Fascinating stuff. One of the final winners he covered was actually his father-in-law

Quite by mistake, I just caught a new sitcom on BBC Three called "How Not To Live Your Life" and I have to say, it's rather good
All newcomers as far as I can tell, all cracking performances. There is eye candy pleasant, it's well written and there are these brilliant little hypothetical scenes such as "5 Things You Shouldn't Do When You're Fired"

That Mags owning those sentiels was fucking awsome, then the guilt and shame crept over me.
You know you love him, deep down. He's too awesome not to love. Now say something about how your like for the character and MY like for the character (or your like for me even) are at odds and it makes you feel dirty. |

Liking the same things as you doesnt make me feel dirty, it makes me feel stupid. Its the same feeling I'd have if I ever found a wayans brother's movie funny and then realised that made me as brain damaged as the types of people who like them. |

Registered my Dream Team in The Sun earlier this afty
Damn good line up far as I can tell, solid back four (which is where most of the money went) some cheap players who can get solid points elsewhere and two big guns in Rooney and Gerrard
Even included two Spurs players Duckboy, well 1 Spurs player and Paul Robinson

You have the insane optimism of true spursite sir. Renounce the evil of Manchester and join the true faith. Also Rooney’s a bit of a gamble as long as he's playing second fiddle to he who must not be named but is in more need of a slap than any other man in existence and chokes on the big occasion. |

I've avoided fantasy football for a while now. My obsessions lie more in the realm of trying to get the Bee's to beat Aresenal in the warm up game of Football Manager 2008. Happened once the first time I played the game and since then nothing.

Yeah I saw that thread but didn't offer any opinions because by he time I joined there was too much to respond to, I concur about this 'Eyebrow' chap as well But yeah good thread I'll very briefly offer my opinions here I spose: Blur > Oasis Less repetetive, much more progression in musical style and underrated IMO as opposed to the criminally overrated Oasis Oasis songs like Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger are horribly overrated and ovrplayed, their best works are songs like Fucking In The Bushes, Meaning Of Soul and Morning Glory British Guitar music these days is in dire straits and has been since the break up of The Libertines. Save for the Arctic Monkeys nobody really has the chops and everything sounds more or less the same. I admire what The Kiaser Chiefs stand for and they condemn the average music scene of nowadays but one could easily argue that their sound only adds to the blandness |

There may be a system to making Footy manager work properly but but my best results always seem to come by being so random that the computer gives up and gives me wins. Dont think I really have the patience for manager games but sadly its not worth playing proper Fifa or Pro Evo on a wii.
Mario Football on the other hand...

Going to see the Ting Ting's two days after I move to Leicester.
Only know a few somgs from the band its just the first concert I saw.
Could be awsome or bloody awful, depending on which it turns out to be pot luck giging may be the way to go from now on.

I can say, having only heard one song by Black Kids when I saw them at Boro Live, that pot luck gigging is brilliant Well, 100% record here anyway. Yup. 1 for 1. |

No, the only comparison I've ever seen drawn between the two is "music to cut your wrists to" which is quite fair enough. Neither band exactly produces feel good hits.

Chad Kroeger wears a "HIM" T-shirt in the video for Photograph
I wonder how that went down in the HIM camp. I can just see them now, ringing each other up to excitedly exclaim "Oh My God! Did you see?" "Hell yeah I saw!"

Got a little stoned last night and watched 3 hours worth of 80s videos from VH1, and some pleasant little surprises were thrown up. They managed to steer clear of the normal boring choices, like 'Rio' by Duran Duran, 'Faith' by George Michael, and 'Where The Streets Have No Name' by U2, and went off the beaten path a bit. Of particular note were the following three toons, which I've loved for a while but have never seen their videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gxMvb9VrzYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPT_3PEjnsEhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHZV7NOqEY4That Toto video is hilariously bad, but the song RAWKS! |

He presents Saturday kitchen on BBC1 on Saturday mornings. You're probably lying comatose in a filthy gutter at that point, Duckboy ... either that, or taking your morning ablutions in the village pond.
He's a Northern charisma-free zone on the screen, and apparently a fucking git offscreen. My wife has met him a few times, and he's MUCH worse than the likes of Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver in person.

Never got far enough to see what he looked like but the intro music and animation alone made me hate him. Also does your better half know your on the demon weed again? Seems like the kind of thing you'd get banished to the sofa with the cat for. |
