The important thang about VLS is that you should never expect too much from him. His jokes are often older than God's mum and none are too obvious for him not to be told. However, he does have his good points: that fantastic malleable voice and a sort of redeeming fxxx u nastiness.

Does anyone remember the 'feud' between him and CM?

Ys indeed, as well as the feuds between CM and Mark Thomas, CM and Michael Moore, CM and Chris Evans... anyone remember any more?

ooh now i'm interested. tell me more tj. mark thomas is never funny.

That's just a long list of cunts. I for one refuse to conclude that Chris is a bad arguing mother.

Mark Thomas took his usual "Esther Rantzen with attitude" stance and said that CM has no sympathy towards the feelings of the targets of his humour.

CM responded to this by describing Mark Thomas as "someone who goes around bullying receptionists"

>Mark Thomas took his usual "Esther Rantzen with attitude" stance

Does that stance involve a physical element? Does he arrange his limbs accordingly?

VLS has about five jokes, which he just keeps repeating. What a nob.

But there _was_ a time when he was genuinely the most dangerous comedian around. No-one can dispute that.

It'll say on his gravestone: "He Was The Best Thing On 'Club X'".

They might add: "That's Still Better Than Being Tony Wilson".

I have cancer of VLS. Have you seen the doss shite that is his 10 minute prog on BBC2? It makes 10 mins seem like 16 fecking hours and its so badly put together his editor must be on crack. Speaking of cracks, I like the way he has an animated presence on the show - possibly to disguise the fact that his face makes Mick Jagger's complexion look like a baby's arse.

'The Magic Rectangle' showed his genius in true form (back in 1995) but I too felt urged to wave the white flag as his best jokes keep reappearing like flies in a shithouse, and even his column has started lacking any spark. What a bloody shame - thank God I got TV Offal on tape for those in-law visits.

Well there goes my theory that Nunuf Urbuznuz was actually VLS.

Or does it...?

'Hi there, faggott lovers!' 'He's bold...'

Ergo, he hasn't lost it. Not even slightly.

Ewar, your posting is so wrong, I shall have to file it in the bin...





whoops.

It must be great, to get as many holidays as he does.

Are you following me around?

If you must loiter here, inevitably we'll keep running into each other...

Inevitably.

BTW if you've seen the execrable Hollow Man, you'll remember the scene where he says you can do anything when you don't have to look at yourself in the mirror any more. Similarly, since beginning the 11ocs, I have an overwhelming sense of liberation, safe in the knowledge that I'm hardly likely to piss people off with my behaviour when I've already done it once with my profession.

I have also removed all the mirrors from my flat.

Oh, don't beat yourself about it... "it's only TV!" - as they say!
