But it wasn't dead. Refresh your topic list and you'll find it's back, freshly exhumed from the "Old Topics" section. (Add a new message to an Old Topic and it magically reverts to being a current one.)

Just thought I'd let you know before the forum starts getting clogged with new Boothby threads.

I don't mind...

The world is not just about you. Coh, kids today...

He is on the Stand Up Show tonight, apparently.

Everyone knows that by now.

Not true. I just asked my parents, and they didn't know. And they gave me a funny look. And they asked me how a village could perform on a stand up show.
























Actually, none of that happened.

>And they asked me how a village could perform on a stand up show.

After getting the whole place covered in honey, the actual performing on a stand up show is a piece of piss.

I know, (dreamily) he was great wasn't he?

Serious question: has he always done "proper" stand-up, aimed at an adult(ish) audience?

I'm just wondering as I actually saw him live about 15 years ago; it was at some kind of theme park type of place (Lightwater Valley perhaps) and his act seemed to be more that of a children's entertainer (as it would have to be at such a place). Just wondered if he did that in parallel with his more adulty stuff or if he progressed from one to the other.

I can't actually remember any of the content of the show but I seem to remember liking it (I'd have been about 10 at the time). This was some time before I saw him on tv, wrapping sellotape around his head.

don't get uppity about the sellotape incident.
I don't care.
I love him anyway.

?!?

Who's getting uppity? I just asked a question.

Are you SURE you're not subbes?

Sure as sure can be.
Which is very sure.
Who the Hell are you anyway?

>Sure as sure can be.
>Which is very sure.

Ok, just checking. My question about Boothby's move from children's entertainer to stand up was a genuine one - no offence or upitiness (?) intended. I wasn't criticising his sellotape routine - found that rather funny at the time too.

>Who the Hell are you anyway?

In what sense? You know my first name, which is more than I do yours.

Oh you're really called Nik are you?
I bet.

>Oh you're really called Nik are you?
>I bet.

So cynical for one so young.

Why would I make it up? It's my name. I suspect Jon, Justin, Janet and lots of other people (not just those whose names begin with J) use their real names on here. Not that there's anything wrong with not using your real name. Incidentally, where does the name "Radiator Head Child" come from?

Boothby
name of song

And her real name is, supposedly, Elsie Bramich. Though that sounds made up to me.
My name is really Anne.

Not Elsie- Elise! for the love of biscuits like the Beethoven piece!!!!
Why does no one every get it right?
Don't answer that with my name spelt wrong it's not funny it's daft.
Bramich has German origins, I am a quarter Burmese if you are all so interested, okay?!?Bad day missing Boothby...

Sounds German, quite Bevarian.

Huh-ahuh. He said Bevar.

So, er, why don't you use your real name?

The German artist Johann Herzfeld changed his name to the English equivalent, John Heartfield, as a protest against nationalism. Does "Elise Bramich" translate as "Radiator Head Child", then?

Or just use Elise, it's a perfectly nice name. Few people here use their surname, do they? No. And it's better than Radiator Head Child, no?

You're not Fur Elise are you?

Boothby supports Robyn Hitchcock at Camden Underworld this Saturday. Fantastically BG's name was spelt wrong in the NME advert.

Just so you know.

>You're not Fur Elise are you?

Er see above!
Ta very much all, will have to marry someone called Brahm and have kids called Ludwig, treble and Boothby!

You do realise that treble will get picked on at school for not having a capital letter at the start of it's name?

And I hope (s)he won't learn the double bass, or that will lead to more mockery.

Back to the subject of... Boothby, boothby boothby, lal alallala
sorry awfully happy.
God I read far too much Enid Blyton as a kid, messed me up royally.
ginger beer anyone?

Boothby boothby I love him
just a reminder

Comedy people are terribly boring in reality. They're so... _normal_.

Is this this face of someone who cares?
:%

Yes, yes it is. i can tell by the jib of your cut, young heating appliance.

well...I have no idea what we were talking about.
What does subbes mean?

subbes is my name. It means as much as the word "Tom" means.

Tom- the abbreviation of tomato or half of a drum

Then I'm quite obviously a poor abbreviation for "submissive", aren't I?

woohoo I won an arguement about my stupidity... at least I think that's what happened

Oh for biscuits sake bloody copy key

NTKnow is boring.

This i have said, despite having abso-fucking-lutely no idea where your stupidity came into it.
