@Esq, sorry for the late response, I was too busy watching Red Dwarf then LotR Return of the King. Everyone else answered to how long I've been a Port Commodore. So I won't. But Duriel said that exact quote in the thread I was talking about, meaning "Could you send up the Hall Porter - there appears to be a frog in my bidet?"

@Arcon, I'm American and I love British humour! I don't like American much at all. Monty Python, Red Dwarf, Black Books, Absolutely Fabulous, even the old Avengers series wth Diana Rigg as the fastastic Emma Peel! Not really a comedic show perhaps, but quite funny and charming most of the time. And except for Black Books I have all the shows on DVD.

The newer episodic Britcoms I don't like as much. The ones that are more influenced by American TV. Or should I said tele? I sort of liked Cold Feet when it was on, but the laughs didn't come as often. And some here might remember me asking if the early morning chat show The Big Breakfast was still on, because when I visited England I thought that show was hilarious, really started me off for enjoyable day in your country.

@Everyone, I really don't think the movie is going to happen. The longer they wait, the less enthusiasm for it. I know they've put together scripts and reading sessions, the site even has some story boards, but be realistic the best time was as soon after the end of the series as possible. And that was what 4 or 5 years ago. I don't even know. I've only ever seen 2 episodes from either series 7 or 8.

@Indy11, NO TALKING LIKE HEY!!

i know that smart americans like the UK comedies, but then i wouldnt mock the smart ones would i? oh no, my scheme is to warp the thick one's fragile little mind.


"Something wicked this way comes"

No - Big breakfast got axed. Jonny Vaughan left first, and that show WAS jonny Vaughan. It went on for a while, but it was limping with crapness......

They finally got rid of it, and now there is a more dire early morning show,only thing that stays good is that they have a fit bird on it. Still - could not BEAT oh Kelly Brook to wake up too.................and the inventor in the shed - that was hilarious....

@Arcon,

Ummmm. Hate to say it but that would be a self-defeating enterprise. If one were to assume that only the thick headed here do not appreciate British humor (as indeed it would appear the French deny that it even exists as something unique to the English) the point would be that you would not be able to warp much less bend or twist them.

mebbie. ok, the real reason is just to bang fit yank chicks, ya happy now?


"Something wicked this way comes"

..and there's nothing wrong with that!

esp not if im filming it

It is better to aim for the stars and hit the tops of the trees than to aim for nothing and hit it dead on.

Arcon - Tell me about it! Those crazy Yanks don't get Australian humour either!

SS - Damn! Someone beat me to it. Oh well, I could always quote the Esperanto phrase "I hope when you come the weather will be clement". I've got that one too!

We've got all kinds of chicks. We've got some great looking nerdy chicks especially.

@Esq:

Australian humor? What might that be?
