which is what I've been saying all along...
<heh hem>
Really pleased to see the site up again, I haven't read anything yet, but sorry for asking, is that Rich Hall in the new title screen, I can't tell?
Incidentally, it was nice to see him on Clarkson last week (in many ways the real life Pub Landlord), and see Rich spout all of his crap act directly ripped from his old Perrier award routine, spliced into an incredibly natural flowing unrehearsed conversation.
I'll see you all back here in a week.
"Incidentally, it was nice to see him on Clarkson last week (in many ways the real life Pub Landlord), and see Rich spout all of his crap act directly ripped from his old Perrier award routine"
"old" perrier "routine"?
Surely it's a show not a routine. Surely it won him the award 3 months ago. Was he on Clarkson as Otis Lee Crenshaw?
How does he rip off his own 3 month old show?
Am I the only bugger that didn't download the whole lot in the first place?

I didn't even get to see it - well I saw it but couldn't hear it.
No 'anonymous', Clarkson had Rich Hall on, not him as any character. And as usual Clarkson spews out his stupid bile which makes it easy for any comedian to make jokes about.. Americans are stupid, trains never arrive on time, etc. But the whole thing was obviously a scripted conversation of Clarkson going to certain topics on cue, for Hall to stick in jokes about, most of the jokes being the same that were in his Perrier act in the first place.. Analysing the lyrics of Jailhouse Rock literally, etc etc. Presumably Hall will have a prime-time sitc-com on SKY1 soon about a boring unsuccessful American stand-up who migrates to Britain and bums around for years, finally winning a trivial and meaningless award which gets him some press attention and work which will further furnish his pathetic cocaine habit, but the thing will be done in an 'ironic' way, therefore free from any tag of lazyness.
he's not on cocaine.
I hope the downloads come back soon: the Blackadder pilot and the Monty Python unreleased album especially.
Though legal problems etc.
And PLEASE some video from the Christmas tapes. Please!
First: Hurrah.
Second: Under the '100 moments from TV Hell' bit, the b/w 'blokes' show in the BBC2 TV Hell night was called Mainly For Men, not Mainly Men. I just wanted to be the first to point out a fantastically tiny error in a Machiavellian piece of wordage, there.
Shame it's flash only :-(

Actually just gone back to the site and clicked on the link and got through to the corpses.
Seems that it doesn't recognise my plugin (oh-er)
Download it from the Net. Or cheaper still, look on any CD ROMs you might have and you'll find the Flash Plug-In there.
Mike & Joe, I want you to bear my children.
Aye, go on then. Might be worth a laugh.
I think the birth might be a bit painful, though it's up to you whether you want it to claw its way out of your stomach or swim out the urethra.
Let's just experiment until someone gets pregnant, eh?
Send us some of your eggs. We'll stick them up our bottoms and hope for the best.
Turkey baster all right for you?
Only if handled with love...
Just digesting the new material on SOTCAA (as opposed to doing any work; I feared this might happen when the site reappeared)...
Half-way down the 'Top TV Moments' countdown there's a piece about L7's appearance on "The Word". Are Mike & Joe sure they've not confused this show with the one where Huggy Bear appeared? *That* was surely the one where footage of the Barbie twins led to the cries of 'misogynist'. I don't think L7 were ever part of Riot Grrrl either - just a bad grunge-rock outfit who happened to be female.
True - it _was_ the brilliant Huggy Bear who got thrown offset for shouting "sexist", slapping Terry Christian and biting cameramen...
Thanks - we'll correct that over the weekend. There was a protest element to what they were doing however, but it might just have been the fact that they weren't allowed to join the Word's 'Beautiful Bare Arse'-style competition (on account of being female). I'm sure there was a quote in the NME at the time.
Ah... Subbes' eggs have arrived, second post.
Well, it was the same week in which they threw used tampons into the crowd at a festival...
Ah, the youthful rush of female punks.
>Well, it was the same week in which they threw used tampons into the crowd at a festival...
Can't have made much of an impact. There were only four or five members in the band. Even given that they were probably all menstruating sympathetically and allowing for a particularly heavy flow, the resulting menses would still be negligable. Hardly Stephen King's Carrie is it?
>Ah... Subbes' eggs have arrived, second post.
Why, they're veritable bantams!
Er.
Who's for an omelette?
Noooooooo! My babies!
*glares*
Try that, and I swaer I'll make em swim out your urethra.
Them babies is big, too.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss, I see your point Joe, but one of my friends did _catch_ one, believing it to be a drumstick...

I'm presuming the applicator was attached? Drumstick? Tampon? No, no, no, this is pure madness.
Subbes - As a radical feminist, the pain of male childbirth is something I not only endorse but actively relish.
But I doubt even I could cope with the embarrassment of pushing a long thin noodly baby around in a pushchair.

Bugger.

Well, you seem to cope quite admirably with being a Corpse, surely that's more embarrassing...?

Not in this media climate.

You'd be amazed.

In practise, I usually am.
Hi, I'm a necrophilliac, how good are you at playing dead?
you must get that a lot in bars..
maybe..
>In practise, I usually am.
Stop carrying topiary around with you, then.
