She's in one of the American stories with Barbara Wintergreen(?), I think. Is it the one with those devices for simulating pregnancy?
She also plays a British tennis player.
She was in an episode of Murder Most Horrid as well.
The doctor in the foetal plastic surgery is called "Mortimer Marcus", after the comedy producer Marcus Mortimer. Hmm.
And she's one of the babbling Italian talk show hosts watching "The Bureau"
>And she's one of the babbling Italian talk show hosts watching "The Bureau"
I'm pretty sure that's Rebecca Front and Doon Mackichan. Minnie Driver is definitely in the pregnancy sketch, playing David Schneider's wife, but the camera pans off her very quickly.
She gets some lines in the tennis player bit.
Can't remember the tennis player bit. What happens there, then?
Mininews - Partridge accuses her of having been sent to a Russian "Sports Camp"
She also plays a post-op transsexual in 'Knowing Me Knowing You With Alan Partridge'.
And she was in "Good Will Hunting", but none of the others from "The Day Today" would do it when they heard Robin Williams was involved.
Ben Affleck went on to appear in "Saving Private Ryan". None of the "Day Today" team, not even Minnie Driver, appeared with him, because there were no British characters in Spielberg's epic tale of D-Day.
And Ben Stiller was in 'Mystery Men' which also featured Eddie Izzard, Janeane "Janine, not Jane Anne" Garo-"Gar-off-allo, not Garro-folo"-falo and Kiddy Fiddler Herman.
Are we there yet?
Are we talking about Pee-Wee Herman here? I thought his career ended because he was found masturbating in a porn cinema. If that's all he did, that is not (fairly obviously) paedophilia.
Oh, somebody mention Kevin Bacon and then we can fuck off down the pub
Masturbating to porn? <thinks> Hmm, it *could* work...don't think it'll catch on, though.
wow dodgy last posting...
anyway in reply to title of thread:
OI! That's offensive to girls (not sure what/who gadaffi is, rings a bell tho'...

Congrats - you have missed the point of the thread title - twice!
The line is from 'The Day Today' and intentionally ironic.
And, RHC, you usually seem such a smartie, Gadaffi, or Colonel Gadaffi, as he prefers to be known is the unelected leader of North African state and international terrorist scapegoat, Libya.
oh yeah, but I'm tired, and most politics bores the socks off of me... except when Boothby's talking...
>oh yeah, but I'm tired, and most politics bores the socks off of me... except when Boothby's talking...
read Andrew Rawnsley in The Observer, and 'The Unfinished Journey' by William H Chafe (US history since 1945) - this will cure ye of all 'politics is boring' ills...
Guardian girl me.
>Guardian girl me.
In that case, read Simon Hoggart and Francis Wheen. If you want to.
*sobbing*
Please go away RHC, you are without doubt the stupidest child in all of Christendom. Are you really 15, or a 7 year old pretending to be?
>*sobbing*

>Please go away RHC, you are without doubt the stupidest child in all of Christendom. Are you really 15, or a 7 year old pretending to be?
Actually, as far as I'm concerned, RHC makes a lot more sense than some people I could mention in this Forum.
Bean, are you alright?
I doubt it.
"Please go away RHC, you are without doubt the stupidest child in all of Christendom."
You've never seen the T4 Forum?
Or "The Void", pg452 of C4 teletext?
Or a copy of Smash Hits? (I mean the modern version, not the 80s one that was really clever, allegedly).
And all those kids that watch live and kicking instead of smtv - idiots the lot of them!
RHC is a little bit dim, I have to say, but the mere fact that he has mananged to master the technology necessary to get online at all means he must be of a greater IQ than the average kid where I live (Wolverhampton - home of the Missing and Weakest links, Proof that the gene-pool needs more chlorine etc)
And I'm only 18 (gorgeous and almost single, c'mon guys!) and altogether too young to start having these sort of pretentions to middle-age
RHC is a girl-child, as she has said herself.
You're right though, quit Wolverhampton while your still young. Nothing flourishes there. Just think: Ned's Atomic Dustbin.
>You're right though, quit Wolverhampton while your still young.
While your still young what? Finish the sentence, please.
Christ, that *is* facetious.
">You're right though, quit Wolverhampton while your still young.
While your still young what? Finish the sentence, please."
You meant to say:
"While your still young - what?"
Yes. Wolverhampton has produced one set of genii in Neds, so will probably not spawn another for years.
>You meant to say:
>"While your still young - what?"
No, no. You meant to say I meant to say:
"'While your still young' - what?"
Erk. I've just imploded up the arse of my own facetious pedantry.
Actually, what you meant to say was 'while you're still young'.
see what happens when I get banned from the internet, you all start arguing!
Hmmm, yes I am dim, but compared to some of my classmates I am Einstein, except prettier and with nicer hair.
(Not that there's anything wrong with his hair)
Lordy! Who did you annoy enough to get banned from the internet?
>Lordy! Who did you annoy enough to get banned from the internet?
ME
RHC, care to comment?
(I know, I know, you've been in bed for hours. I'll tune in tomorrow for the next installment in this sorry tale.)
I think RHC should be permanently connected to the internet - through some kind of neural implant, so that her thoughts can appear in a range of forums as soon as she thinks them up. The connection must be switched off when she starts to dream however, otherwise harrowing jpegs of herself and Boothby Graffoe will swamp the world's computer systems.
Hey hey, I've been usurped.
I like that word. usurp. usurrrrrp.
Jon- you should know better than to mention Boothby.
Nik- It was my parents, surprise.
Subbes- at last we meet...
Honey, honey...
>Subbes- at last we meet...
Ah, another to educate. No capital s, cheers.
>Honey, honey...
No thanks, I'm allergic to bees.
RHC - Are you trying to start an ABBA singalong?
In unrelated news I'm going to see Kylie in concert next march - I'm dead excited!
And Wolverhampton is indeed a 5h1t-hole, which is why I am at uni in London instead of there (also I passed some A-Levels and am not a bleach-blonde slapper who got pregnant by her Jamaican drug-dealer pimp) - (No offence meant to all you non-drug-dealer-pimp Jamaicans out there but Wolverhampton is really bad)
Also, they don't like me there.
And I get to have 2 days off from evil Carlton here in the form of the (relatively) fab LWT - though I refuse to watch [itv] except for LiveTalk, which I usually have lectures through most times anyway.
:o(
Am not Abba fan.
Am not musical fan.
Am Boothby fan.
This is me.
ben sounds sweet.
ABBA are great, don't diss the ABB-sters!
Music is good - Without music there would be no funky idents
Who is this Boothby?
I am - Thank you. - Unfortunately for you I'm a big bad screaming homosexual - better luck next time
damn.
not that homosexuality is a bad thing it's just so annoying.
Oh I don't mean that.
You know what I mean though.
Least I'm not a homophobic christian like *some* of my friends.
Again I am a christian, nothing against them.
Oh for biscuits sake.
For lesson in Boothby email me at
[email protected]
or ressurect Boothby or mirrors thread from old topics.
No, hang on, are you using this place to meet men?
if I bump into them I suppose I meet them, I don't attend this place for the usage of solely meeting anyone, I come here to listen to intriguing and phillosophical whimsy which I am denied by hanging out with Andrew Lloyd Webber loving, Spice Girl Hugging Friends addicted kids!
But you gotta love 'em.
I bet they spell it "gr8", too.
>damn.
>not that homosexuality is a bad thing it's just so annoying.
Er.....what??
Would someone throw a bucket of cold water over RHC?
Hormnones, eh, kids? Who'd 'ave 'em?
>Would someone throw a bucket of cold water over RHC?
I'd be delighted.
Even though she reminds me of me - before I discovered women, obviously - about three years ago.
>>not that homosexuality is a bad thing it's just so annoying.
>Er.....what??
Gay men are, apparently, evil for depriving women of their Sweet Man-Love.
Or something, or what[*].
[*] please shoot me if I use this phrase more than once a week.
What Radiator Head Child means, and she is quite right - is that I'm just so damn fab that she wants to cover me in Liquorice Allsorts and nibble on them all night - but because I'm a great camp queen, this would only get her so far - to the black teeth stage, in fact.
And also, Liquorice is my unholy arch-enemy and I will have no part in your vile schemes, RHC! DO YOU HEAR ME???
NO PART!!!!
Liquorice *is* evil, you're right. Hmmm....wonder if it's a gay thing? I'm quite glad there are so many poofs around, because it leaves more laydees for me, do your finest Ben!! Er...Ben, I don't suppose you'd like to track Marc Bannerman (Eastenders bloke) down and shag him so senseless, that his poor girlfriend is left heartbroken and seeks comfort in my lovely arms would you? Please?
Oh, that's not very nice is it?
I *hate* liquorice allsorts.
They are worse than anything.
Worse than being deprived of Boothby, only marginally of course.
<splash>
>Worse than being deprived of Boothby, only marginally of course.
><splash>
I don't even want to think about what that splash could have been.
>Oh, that's not very nice is it?
It is! I *must* have Nadia Sawalha, I must!!
>>Worse than being deprived of Boothby, only marginally of course.

>
>I don't even want to think about what that splash could have been.
Even thinking about thinking about it is making my stomach turn.
Maybe she was just....er....releasing her valves?
Urghhhhhhhh. Bleurgh.
I'm scared. Hold me, someone.
Well I would, but people will talk!
So let them.
*flutters eyelashes* Wanna snog?
<splash>
actually a reference to the bucket of water earlier members of the thread were aiming at me.
So it is actually you, not me, who is sick, sick and wrong.
This time.
Wouldn't the water just evaporate before it hit your scorching little face Radi??
I'm hot baby.
not in my house you're not.
*grumble* tight landlord not giving us proper cental heating *grumble*
Awww Joe! *hugs* want me to post you a few blankets to keep you warm? They're made of.....
BUDGIE FEATHERS!
and coal dust.
I'll swap you a couple of scuttles of coal for a blanket.
Ooooh, you're on!!
I mean.....I DON'T EAT COAL!!
Heheheh
ah ha!
rumbled yet again.
I got a couple of blankets yesterday, they were going cheep, err cheap.. *ahem*
*crying* You'll pay for what you've done Mr Jones!
Yeah, she'll pelt you with coal.
heh!
something I could do with in this weather.
assuming she hasn't eaten it all.
She might have, you never can tell.,..
the black dust around her mouth is usually a giveaway.
That's not coal....it's....erm......that's it, my face caught fire!
I've told you once, twice, three times, coal and matches don't mix....
no wonder your face caught fire.
Your face causght fire cause it's made of plastic, didn't it?
