The weather is always nice when you're in the pub. Yes, that's true, but the poor love on the wagon because she is 8.5 months preggers! Anyway, they've been to see that dreadful leftie Marcus Brigstocke and Four Puffs and a Piano. Bill |

Your sentence would have been just as accurate if you've simply replaced the "...when I visit..." with "in" in your sentence... |

He seems to be part of this modern media incestuous circle, where
people with no recognisable talent whatsoever become celebrities through sarcasm at the expense of other people with talent. We are all entitiled to have opinions, and in appropriate circumstances to express them, (-: indeed, I've been known to express a few myself :-) but when whole genres of programmes are built around such a negative concept, the result is not funny, merely sour grapes. For example, apart from the occasional guests from the pop scene, who often seem a little at a loss, 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' seems to consist entirely of people who have never had a hit record criticising 'humorously others who have. Now, in common with myself, you may not like the majority of pop records, but the point still stands that these people who are the butt of the jokes have accomplished something, whereas most of those on the panel have not. 'They Think It's All Over' is entirely anal-ogous with regard to Sport. For me, the lowest point for Marcus Brigstocke was in his programme on Beethoven, wherein he described one of the world's greatest ever composers as having "an anger management problem". Whether true or not, I care not. We know and care about Beethoven because of the glorious music he wrote, not because he was a saint. The day that Marcus Brigstocke writes a symphony that is remotely as good as anything by Beethoven, then I will not only listen to it, but also to his remarks on Beethoven's character, but, until then, he can shut the f*ck up. BTW, what's wrong with being a leftie? On Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:06:52 +0100, "Zimmy" wrote: "Bill Wright" wrote in message ...

Remember Josie Lawrence? She seemed to be on all the comedy shows for a while (probably as the token female*) before someone eventually realised that she just wasn't funny. Now she has reached her true vocation, as a bit part in Eastenders. *Now there seems to be quite a few female stand-ups coming through that are actually quite funny. Z |

They work for the end of civilisation as we know it. They are dour humourless supporters of the nanny state and of political correctness. They should all be executed. Bill |
