TB has introduced me to a new Comedy programme here on DVD called "The League of Gentlemen"...VERY dark humour, and bizarre as they come! Nicky, another one for you to pick up on and see if you can get a copy. (Either that, or wait til you get over here and buy the DVD's!)

Funny thing is...TB works not far from where the fictitious town is set...and will be showing me the place (hopefully Christmas Eve)!
Bluebottle...ever seen this show? (Do I recall you muttering something about this one sometime?!)

It's really excellent stuff...anyone else seen/like this show?

Laz, that tortoise scene was a classic. The "BEAST" scenes were pretty funny too...

Welcome, HazelOfTheResistance (in future hereby known as Hazel). Just because I sell Black Pudding doesn't mean I have a liking for it!

The Local Ten Commandments...

1) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's Precious Things. Nor his dog's arse, pens or wife (unless he is spending the weekend at The Windemere, in which case naught is forbidden).

2)Thou shalt not kill toads, be thou vet, evil twin, or right bastard.

3)Eat not the meat known as the Special Stuff, lest a curse of blood be put upon thy land and thy Nose.

4)Worship no false idols, for Lazarou is thy one lord and master.

5)Thou shalt not steal 9 Maverick bars from thy local newsagency.

6)Thou shalt e'er be respectful of those who would teach thee of issues concerning homelessness, sexuality, racism, and any controversial topic, yea, thou they may be overzealous and stray from the point with many an outcry against their former spouse.

7)Thou shalt be charitable, and for simplicity's sake be e'er in possession of a bag with a special mark (lest a child may take hold and try to breathe through it) and thy must not work on Thursdays. Dear.

8)Keep thy house as custom dictates - colour-code thy towels and keys, allow no dirty foot to enter thy threshold, and pass no solids into downstairs lavatories and the first Thursday of every month must be known as nude day.

9)Work hard, lest thou be cast into the room of a thousand torments, enduring a thousand humiliations and knowing no peace until thou put that bloody lid back on the bloody pen, for I know what you're like.

10)Thou shalt e'er be local, and stray not from thy town, for it is writ...

"You'll never leave!"
