"The world has really turned on him, he was the darling of comedy not long ago.


I've never been a huge fan, but he's made me laugh sometimes."


This ^


Plus anytime anyone ever sees him now is on some arena/theatre show and I don't like comedy in that atmos from anyone at all. But I saw him at the Tattershall castle a few times and he was pretty good

It's more what he stands for - more than the man himself - that I dislike. The triumph of competent middle-of-the-roadness, lapped-up by millions. Harmless but nondescript routines professionally packaged and delivered, like an M&S sandwich. The real problem is for every Michael Mac there are ten John Bishops on the way.

So very true. Hate both, never got either. Do they just define slapstick, which I also hate.


Just relieved I'm not the only one.....

Here we go - observational comedy- McIntyre/Bishop et al. Observed by Stewart Lee.

I quite like the idea of being a crusty high court judge, but alas no! Usually just watch Netflix... very rarely turn on broadcast TV, except for Cbeebies occasionally!

Jeremy I must agree it isn't a very nice area at all, and yet it borders some rather wealthy Surrey/Kent/M25 border towns. I've always found it to be a bit rough around the edges. Many of the people who live there are from Croydon and Bromley council geographic areas though, and the few I know have always refered to it as a step up from where they came.

Petrol?! Oooh we used to dream of petrol! We had to make do with Paraffin; or snort the crumbs from the bottom of a box of firelighters.

    • This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
    • Its part of a change all Doctor surgery's are undergoing.  The goverment want to stop the 8am scramble for an appointment, and its not just restricted to the Gardens. Sadly, it does impact some who are not digitally savy.   
    • There was quite an old clip on BBC4 recently where they were introducing yoghurt to the British public. They called it a 'Balkan Dairy Preparation', which sounded to me more like something you'd ask to speak to the male member of staff about in the chemist in those days.
    • I haven't had any problems, except when the online  appointment system is full, but I have found if something is urgent they can fit you in if you phone. I think they probably keep a few spaces free for urgent last minute appointments, but I'm just guessing  I've found it quite convenient being able to email questions which previously I would have had to ask at an actual appointment, and I've always had a speedy reply. You can send photos as well. I don't know about forms and letters. That sounds bad. Have the admin staff changed recently?
