What's the deal with Welsh, and other comedy

Not for me. 2005 is gonna suck big time. Even more than last year. Shite. Life seems to be going backwards for me -- maybe it'll be better for you young whippersnappers...

Well, having consolidated all my finances it transpires I will need to take out a big loan to pay all my debts off -- and to pay for the loan, I will need to either get a massively higher paid job (not gonna happen anytime soon) or move out and rent a room off my sister which I really don't want to do as I will end up with no space compared to the lovely spacious flat I currently rent. Bollocks.

It could be worse, believe me

ah, so you haven't shaken off all the financial bullshit from last year : (
that really, really sucks...

Post by **Gambit37** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 12:47 am

I know it could be worse, just was looking forward to a better year after the last two years were very, very shite.

yeah, thought you'd managed to clear yourself from that. Well, i guess concentrate on the positives and try to make this the only hassle in your life...or something...

Post by **PaulH** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 12:50 am

I know how you feel. I am looking forward to that better year too: well I might as well tell you all, I am off work sick at the moment, being tested for a dodgy tumour of the adrenal glands called a 'pheochromocytoma'. Doesn't help when trying for these DM records lol! Should all be sorted soon, hope to have the op in the next few months.

Post by **Gambit37** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 12:51 am

OMG, that sounds -- not good. Get wellington soon!

Holy crap! Well, deinifetely good luck with the op and in gettign a better 2005!
and don't strain yourself in the meantime...you know...don't work too hard on the dungeon...no matter how good it is...*twitch*

Post by **PaulH** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 12:55 am

Its a strange condition - basically I overproduce adrenaline (vast amounts!) and have high blood pressure! Not good when turn a corner and see a slobbering screamer! But curable, just waiting for the surgeon to sharpen his vorpal blades and all will be well again.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 12:56 am

well here's to a boring 2005 then!

Post by **PaulH** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 1:00 am

haha! I have taken my Ku potions... the new dungeon is on its way. Still its all relative isn't it?

Post by **Gambit37** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 1:00 am

You could always add "pheochromocytoma" into the story....?

Post by **PaulH** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 1:01 am

I could indeed! You've not looked it up have you?!!! You need to be a mad biologist to work out what they are on about!

Post by **PaulH** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 1:27 am

Well after killing this thread dead (!), lets get back to comedy! But I am too pissed to remember what we were talking about anyway!

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 1:31 am

LOL
well, given that Selie started it about welsh poeple, or mentioned welsh people in another thread and it got pushed here, then i have no memory of how it got twisted to life and stuff...

ooh, comedians! that was it!
not a comedian as such, but i would also nominate dave gorman for his two shows, 'i'm dave gorman' and 'googlewhack adventure'

Post by **PaulH** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 1:33 am

Yes. naughty Selie hehe!!! We were talking about Blackadder, but I have to say Red Dwarf is one of my favourite progs, especially series 3-6

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 1:36 am

oh yes, red dwarf was great...the later series lost me. Seven was ok in a way, but i never got into 8...apart from the one episode with the future seeing computer

what ever happened to the RD film? It's been on then off again for so long now!

Post by **PaulH** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 1:39 am

I am glad you said that, RD 8 (and seven to some extent) had become hopelessy 'Americanised' (sorry my friends over the pond!). The film has been in the pipeline for ages, the American dierectors want their own actors but Naylor/Grant insist on the original cast.

Yes, great stuff! "She looks like something that dropped out of the Sphinx's nose!". I thought I would die laughing when I hearg that!

damn, i need to watch those again at some point!

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 10:16 pm

It is fantastic! I just have to check this Red Dwarf out. Reminds me of a scene in a book.

Glad to hear about Black Adder- good stuff, almost forgotten by me.

As for all those comedians - i do hardly know any of them and the german i do only know a little - hardly watch TV.
There is Stefan Raab, shows funny clips and stuff-well.
There is Harald Schmidt- a satirist-
Polt is some Guy, too. Puh. i loose the threat
At least some of the Python staff i know-
films as well as flying circusss comes to mind, the latter i have not seen that often, but i´ve always been a fan of Monty Python.

Back when i was a kid i just loved Bad Taste (Peter Jackson), i did not understand a word but to be honest you did not have to. (i found it funny, and yes it is violent)
Well, i have older siplings, so i watched a lot of films not directly suited for my age, but at 7-8 years in school, i lost interest in films, because we had no cable tv and the austrian broadcast got crappy, so there yu are.

Knight Rider was a must - Kit(spelling?) made this cool swoo-wooosh sound and the ding dinge linge lingi ding -- soundtrack was cool. What happened to Ka? ? How did the series end, i cannot exactly remember.

btw, quality topic award granted

KITT was Knight Industries Two Thousand! Fantastic car. Right up there with the General Lee and the A-team van.

One of the most memorable noises of my childhood! Did you know they got through 300 Generals in Dukes? Of course, KITT was indestructable
