which type of british comedy do you like ?



jester

Hello ,

I love Monty Python movies, songs, and sketches, and I also enjoy the show "Keeping Up Appearances." I adore Terry Pratchett's novels and of course, anything and everything written by Douglas Adams, (but that's kind of a given ). I take it your into Brit comedy, too?

Cheers!

ah my name must be a giveaway , i really enjoy the carry on films of the 60s and 70s i only need one more for the full collection woo hoo!!


jester

Hi ,

I'll have to track those down and watch them sometime. I read A397578 and it sounds like the films are the type of thing I'd enjoy. Living in Wisconsin, I usually only get to watch British comedy via video tapes or the Public Television Station. Are you from England?

Cheers

Cool
Nice to meet you. I've been to Europe a few times, but never to England, just Spain and France

Cheers!
Raindawn

oh so you have bypassed this wonderful country*owly stands with hands on hips*

only joking i have visited quite a few countries and i am doing guide entries at the moment my first is A853436

please check it out


andy

Ooh, Cuba. Neat!

I've never been there, but I have been to the Caribbean. I spent a couple weeks in a small town in the Yucatan Penninsula of Mexico a few years ago. It's beautiful down there. Your descriptions in your entry really capture that

My travels inspired my latest entry, too. If you go to A839108 you can check out my entry about Spanish Gypsies, which is pending front page publication...

Cheers!
Raindawn

well my next one is jamaica then possibly florida a brits point of view of course !!

andy

WooHoo! My gypsy article made the front page! I guess something good came of having been cursed by that gypsy in the park 3 years ago afterall

I'm not entirely sure what my next article is going to be about yet. I've been sort of working on one about the ethnic Walloon Belgian settlement in NE Wisconsin, USA, which is where I'm from.

Hopefully, I'll be inspired to write some more of it soon. It's fun to submit things to peer review

Cheers!
Raindawn

wellthats why i wrote my entry lettig ppl know life experiences is

andy

here is my jamaican entry A867512




andy

Ah, how I miss the Caribbean! I've never been to Jamaica, but when I was in college I stayed in Progresso, Mexico, in the Yucatan Penninsula for a while

I, too, have another entry in Peer Review: A865271
I decided to write about my Walloon Belgian heritage this time.

Cheers!
Raindawn

well guess what my next entry will be mexico as i stayed in cancun on the yucatan penninsula abaout 2 years ago!!

andy

Cancun is beautiful! I always thought that it was trick photography on postcard pictures that made the water look so blue! It was amazing to see that in person.

Cheers!
Raindawn

andy

Have recently heard that the British situation comedy Last Of The Summer Wine is pretty popular in America at the moment.Are you able to get the programme where you live,Raindawn and if so,what do you think of it?

Aww, I don't think that one is broadcasted where I am. I'll have to keep an eye out for it during the BBC America broadcasts on public television though. The two that I like the best that I can see regularly on TV here are "Keeping Up Appearances" and "Are You Being Served?"

I believe that "Last Of The Summer Wine" has been broadcast on the public television channel.Must admit I liked "Keeping Up Appearances" and "Are You Being Served?" as well when they were screened here in England.Shows you have good taste.
