what kind of place is called level 2? :-k

:lol: Very good ms giggles,would be the ideal name for that club though:) Either that or Easy riders.
I once dropped a tin of baked beans onto my nan’s little dog, which killed him, not instantly, he wondered around dazed for a few minutes knowing that his fate had been sealed and his last words were…
“This is sooo embarrassing…..Tell me mates I’ve been run over” :)
Ohhhh how I loved that talking dog.
And how many years difference do you think there was between Ernie and Meatloaf with these two chart hits: ffs they could have been on the same ‘Now that’s what I call music’ album…. well same 8-track maybe…[/quote]
what?
Is that a clue for one down in todays Crytic Crossword?
“I Really love your peaches wanna shake your tree”
Was that the clash?
Or how about some really brilliant lyrics by Meatloaf
“And you’ve been cold to me so long…I’m crying icycles instead of tears”
Ernie is a very clever song, no doubt about it, and another one especially for the older generation on just chat
“Don’t jump off the roof dad”
Bonus points to anyone who can tell me who sang it
p.s no cheating by looking on Google.
Not Sure Pikey! Haven’t really thought it through yet, but hey, as soon as I do, I’ll let you know :wink:
Not heard back from anyone else yet, so could just be me, you and Soulie, the next Gervias, Merchant and Coogan.
P.s Have you noticed not many women have taken part in this discussion mmmmmmmmm why is that? could it be because women aren’t funny…even the funny ones.

It’s definitely subjective. Interestingly, though, my favourite American comedy has always been the one man stand up stuff; Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Bill Hicks. The sitcoms always leave me a little cold.
I reckon it’s a great idea you all collaborating, though. You wouldn’t have to worry about the Tomster, Soulie, he’s a bigger, gayer, more ursine bear than me.
Fancy joining us PIKEY? sure we’ve got room for a little one, not that I’m saying you’ve got a little one u understand.
Stand-up is where it’s at I guess, would love to have the bottle to go up there and vent my thoughts at people. I’ve always felt sorry for the warm-up guy, you know the stand-up comic who goes on before the main act…whats the thinking behind that?
Is the idea for this wannabe to go and whip the audience into such a frenzy that the’ll laugh at anything the main star says when he can eventaully be bothered to make an entrance? It’s a little lazy if you ask me, it’s the equivalent of me ringing me mate up and saying to him
“Listen, the wifes a bit horny tonight…..but I can’t be arsed with the fore- play, could you come over for ten minutes and warm, her up for me?”
And then me niping in there just as she’s about to explode and finishing her off :lol: you know getting the glory, I wouldn’t come back on though if she started shouting me name after i’d left the bedroom…odds are I’ll be asleep by then.
Can just imagine the conversation between the already big comedic star and the up and coming starlet.
“Right go on then,go on warm them up it’s what i pay you for….., but listen don’t be to F***in funny though eh?..otherwise I’l be lookng for someone else to take to Scarborough next week, so think on”
“Don’t worry bout me too being funny, I’ve nicked you script you C*nt”
:lol:

Are you saying The Young Ones wasn’t funny? I’m aghast. :-s Look, there’s me aghast.
It was okay supose, never really got into it, had lots of friends who enjoyed it though, always tried to hard to be funny I thought, I’m sure some people found it hilarious, humour is a difficult subject to pidgeon hole,one mans Julian Clary could be another mans Ricky gervais, I find it an interesting subject, how humour has evolved over the decades, in the 60’s people couldn’t get enough of the CARRY ON FILMS but by todays standards it more embarrissing than funny, obviously some great actors appeared in those movies and individualy again some great comedic timing which you have to admire.
Back to the original subject still amazes me how certain sit-coms make it onto our screens, Barbera being a prime example, the Americans have nailed the Sit-com and are the best at producing genuine humour with great scripts and great lines, Think the problem in Britain is one person generaly writes the whole script and going back to my earlier point what he/she finds funny isn’t to everyones taste.
The Office is Superb and you have to take your hats off to Ricky and Stephen for producing one of the best comedies of our generation, two heads are better than one you see, think teams of writers are so much better than individuals in writing great comedy.

They are deadly those mangles, should be banned they should, I won’t say anymore but you know those flat sausages you can buy frozen at Iceland :oops:
It really is abysmal that show, it is by amatuers, that the whole idea of the show, what gets me is that someone must read the scripts these people send in and think “Thats Brilliant” crab the cameras and phone the actors agency get some losers down hefre now and start filming, either that or they only get 1 or 2 scripts submitted and just have to use them no matter how rubbish they are.
I have more fun watching your face when I beat u at pro-evo 5 mate:) that could be a show all on it’s own.
As soon as I’ve fixed this shelf I’m starting on me script :lol: don’t hold your breath though guys could be a few years away yet :wink:
