As a rule HIGNFY is the only one of the million panel shows I'll watch, but if I'm curled up on the settee, i don't mind NMTB, Simon Amstell does make me chuckle.


James would have liked him last night

"Katie Perry who sang the song 'UR so gay', she of course means gay in the trendy new definition, meaning bad. God she's such a jew!! She shouldn't be so black about everything..etc."

There's something about Mark Lamarr that just makes me feel I wouldn't want to be trapped in a lift with him.


Anyway I think it's unfair of the BBC to employ two people - both called Mark - with the same haircut.


As they say: "An evening stuck in a lift with Mark Kermode to our winners; and evening stuck in a lift with Mark Lamarr to our losers".

I disagree Keef, he was funny on that too. Really sarcy to all the rubbish interviewees. I seem to remember him really upsetting the Kooks, you can't ask for more than that can you?


I never used to watch NMTB when Lamarr presented it, but these days it is very funny (if you like puerile humour, which I do).

Maybe had I seen that I would have felt differently about him. They couldn't just relax and be funny though, it's like everything they said had to be somehow really sharp and cool and funny. It just got on my tits to be honest.


He seems to have grown out of it though.

lamarr was a prick. i went to a few of the live recordings when he was the host and his crass attempts at humour were limited to taking the piss out of disabled people. i gave him the benefit of the doubt and went to another one and it was just more of the same, cheap laughs. as for jupitus ,the most unfunny person in comedy, at least having amstel in the hot seat gives him the chance to remove his tongue from up lamarrs hole.

I used to go to loads of the live recordings (free tickets, free drink, suited me perfectly!) - couldn't stand Mark Lamarr, came across as so arrogant, completely lacking in comic ability IMO. He put me off the show completely, haven't watched it since Simon started hosting - maybe I'll give it a try!

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
