    Adverts you love to Hate

    I agree with you on Car adverts, Insurance and Loan adverts, but what really gets to me is the toy adverts. Having two young ones, they watch these adverts for Barbie dolls that swim in the see beside beautiful coral reefs or dolphins etc, but don't realise its not the same in our bath!!!!

    other favourite comedy writers

    Obvious choice maybe John Sullivan, he created one of the greatest comedies ever and some other great ones. But me personally i really love Craig Cash and Caroline Aherne, the Royal Family is a modern classic in my eyes, it just sums up real working class life. Denise is just my missus, daft as...

    smoking

    Perhaps i am delving to deep into theory here, but what if Roy Clarke thought that because the characters are meant to be adolescent school boys, that climb trees and make daft inventions. Thus he thought maybe they shouldn't smoke anymore, because that takes away the school ground image he had...

    I wanna be.....

    When i was 12 or 13 i wanted to be Mike a man who lived opposite me because he had an old ford mustang. A real american muscle car from the 50s, a real gem that was, you could hear it starting about 10 miles away, oh! what a noise. It was red with a black horse painted on the bonnet. As for a...

    Pets

    We've just bought a little baby lion-head rabbit, the kids have called it Panda because its black and white. I wanted to call it magpie because of my religion, but the wife insisted the girls get to name the bunny. I really love rabbits they are so much fun to watch and can be great house pets...

    Funny typos, speakos and whatever-collection

    I once called my wife Karen instead of Sharon with rather obvious problems ensuing. Took me ages to blag my way out of that. i speak rather fast so make regular mistakes but the wife just talks nonsense i.e ' i'm getting the bus to town because i've just missed the bus' is one example. She's had...

    The Grand National

    Its such a shame that such magnificent animals like horses have to be put down through injury. I know maybe the animal may never recover properly but surely they could be handled with more care. Its always sad watching the national when you see the black screens propping up on the course, all...
