Stewart Lee, speak in low tones to me

[bon3yard]

Sorry SM, just re-read your post and it says pretty much what I've just added. You can sue me for plagiarism if you fancy being paid in pies. :))

I'm not litigious. But I do like pies. Clearly

I haven't watche a Bill Hicks DVD for years now. And that includes some of the ones I bought which were rare for years (the expanded Sane Man for instance)

But the latter 2 cds (the ones with dodgy music - Arizon Bay and Rant in E Minor) are not bad for relaxing in a bath to

Wheras the 3 Stewart Lee DVDs are watched as often as decency allows. Which in the case of the middle DVD, decency will never allow

Also, just for the record, the Goon Show is extremely funny.

*ducks flying pie*

Never got The Goons either.. though I admit being exposed to 'Highway' at an impressionable age might have coloured my opinion.

"Charlie Brooker's Newswipe tonight, BBC4, 10.30, for an interesting, funny and thought provoking half hour."

Excellent as usual. "Enjoy that, it tastes of tears"

Brooker for PM I say, he's the only man who talks sense any more.

Though the soundtrack was intrusive and bloody irritating in a minor gripe to truly excellent television.

taped it - not watched it yet.

I find it all to easy to picture the section which led to that punchline tho..

[mockney piers]

A moment of comedic genius not even from the man himself as it happens.

I have yet to view CB also.. we were watching the fantastic Alan Whicker prog instead last night.

A slightly depressing reminder of how good telly could be (for the right man, at the right place in time).

The trusty Sky+ box is currently the home of the Brooker so that's a tba although I trust it's a inda Screenwipe News Weekly, and although this week's Stuart Lee effort was down on last weeks it wa still better than 99% of the rest of telly; I lol'd as I believe the young people say.

Although I remain the Lord Of The Dance Settee.

I. Remain, of the dance settee, the lord.

Better than 99%, I remain lord, of the dance settee.

I remain lord of the dance settee, even with insects in the berry brown face of Robert Kilroy-Silk who isn't, to my knowledge, Lord of the Dance Settee.

Kilroy, berry brown face, of the dance settee.

I think the telly show's great myself but each to his/her own.

Given Littlejohns latest postscript in todays column

"Fourteen workers at the Chinese factory that makes iPhones have committed suicide.

In Britain, elf ?n? safety would have closed the plant for years while the windows were hermetically sealed; every employee would be given compulsory counselling and issued with hard-hats and hi-viz protective clothing. Blame Direct would be pumping out claims for com-pen-say-shun.

The Chinese have come up with a simpler solution, which keeps the production lines running. They have rigged up giant nets to stop workers jumping to their deaths.

Back of the net!"

It must be time (yet again) for Stew's little john routine

just shy of 6 mins in for the littlejohn bit but watch the whole thing
