If it's good enough for HonaloochieB then by god it's good enough for you, you brazen pup you


for 15 years I didn't get seinfeld - resented it in fact. But it is most definitely genius


It's not the plots or the "jokes" - it's the internal workings of the characters. The trappings of the era (slap bass and all) can grate but more often add to the charm. And no, his dress sense doesn't get any better

Oh god.. please don't start quoting from Seinfeld. People quoting jubilantly from Seinfeld has put nearly as many people off Seinfeld as, well, the show itself.


Realistically, how much of it do you have to force yourself to watch before you can expect some sort of a return?

This!


George Costanza (the character) makes me laugh the most. Also the mail man... Kramer can be irritating!


What about Curb your enthusiasm *Bob*?

What have you watched so far Bob? I would say don't judge it on the pilot or first few episodes give it a bit of time and it'll eat away at your funny bone. You'll be crying by the final episodes. Nancy Sinatra is supposed to have missed the passing of her father as she was away from his bedside watching the final episode.

Believe me, it was a relief not to find Frasier funny, having seen the average Frasier fan, banging on about 'the script' and screaming with theatrical laughter at the slightly mildly risible occurrence.

Is it because the comedy is just so sophisticated that it takes at least four or five hours of it before mere mortal brains manage to distill what they can into the semblance of a laugh? I suppose it must be.


That's what they say anyway. And boy do they love to say it.

There's a story arc, usually one in an episode and several over a series. Yes it's a bit more sophisticated than your average sitcom but that's part of the joy. Forgive us for intellectualising (sp?!) comedy or should we have a Pol Pot style attitude towards it? ;-)

    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps

    • Ahh shame about the cost of replacing the battery - especially (and I am assuming here) as the car probably isn't worth that much.  I do, however, think your decision is better than scrapping the car.  I will still update the results of our "experiment" in case this is of interest to others.  I absolutely refuse to scrap an otherwise perfectly good vehicle (especially as ours is ULEZ compliant - despite its age).  Nor am I enamoured with the idea of driving more just to keep the battery going.  If this little £35 gadget does the business then I shall be very happy.  We shall see......... Enjoy all those extra journeys, though if our gadget works then you might benefit from purchasing one and trickle-charging from time to time to save you having to make them.
