h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yes well thats not tere fault, it's when people 'think' there clever and are NOT. like celebs (most of them). any other joke and they don't get paid to have the fun taken out of them

-- DoctorMO --

Yes. Like on "Have I Got News For You"

yes, that just what I mean

-- DoctorMO --

Did you see it when Paul started making fun of that German stamp? That was the greatest.

Yes pritty funny, although did you ever see Steven Fry on room 101?

-- DoctorMO --

Yes, he was good on that. Especially with "Room Lovely". But I reckon Johnny Vegas was better than him on Room 101.

I didn't see that , I got lots of these kinds of thigs though.

-- DoctorMO --

Beat Room 101 ever was when Nick Hancock still hosted it, and Mark Lamaar was on.

Whwn Mark lamarr was describing everything that was wrong with urinals, it was so hilarious that I had to borrow an asthma inhaler to breathe! (I'm NOT asthmatic!)

I've done that but only after alot of running

Sounds good

-- DoctorMO --

Wish I'd seen it. But I thought that Room 101 was a Paul Merton invention. Never saw it with Nick Hancock. Is he the one that does "They think it's all over?"

hmmm, sounds familiar...

-- DoctorMO --

Nick Hancock is the guy from they think it's all over, and he did a couple of series of room 101 and was then the first guest when Paul Merton took over

Ah sounds right, I liked when they did a mix of Hava I got news for you, Buzzcocks and they think it's all over. 'have I got buzcocks all over'? very funny.

-- DoctorMO --

Ah right.

I reckon "Have I Got News For You" and "Never Mind the Buzzcocks" are in fact better than "They Think It's All Over". Because I expect percentage of alcohol in the blood on the latter is markedly higher, which would be why the guy with frizzy hair's nose is always red /and/ why they laugh at racist jokes.

Ah, you see I have some what of a SEP field for x'ist jokes, that and adverts.

-- DoctorMO --

Well, in the words of Martin Luther King Jr., "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". The problem with "-ist" jokes on TV is that people start liking them, and pretty soon people start believing it too.

"First they came for the Jews;
and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists;
and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists;
and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me;
and there was no one left to speak out for me."
Pastor Martin Niemöller

how apt.

-- DoctorMO --

Ah yes. He was the one that spoke out against the Nazis, wasn't he? Gutsy bloke. The other one was... Dietrich Bonhoeffer, wasn't it?

Actually, reading the subject line, I'm about to start reading "scientific" justifications for slavery, which is going to be interesting. And in places, amusing or just plain I expect.

er... if there talking about slavery of thought, it might have a point. but people are a difrent story. although may make an interesting read, a bit like mien camf but more liverpudlien.
