Arranged shag

I loved Goodness Gracious Me.


Something a bit more substantial to follow when I am less tired.

Father Ted - Speed 3

Father Ted with all its extreme silliness was one of our favourite sitcoms. Set on Craggy Island, a fictional and god forsaken spot island off the Irish coast , it featured three dysfunctional priests: Father Ted Crilley, who had embezzled money for the funds to send a child to Lourdes (or perhaps it was resting in his account (although he swore the funds were just resting in his account); Father Dougal who would lose a thinking contest with a piece of lichen and Father Jack Hackett, a whiskey priest (and a brandy, beer and vodka priest too)



This episode is a spoof on the Speed movies. Pat Mustard, an amorous milkman loses his job because of Ted. Dougal takes on the milk round but Mustard has a terrible revenge in store. The episode features, a mass on a trailer a brick and a lot of hairy babies.. Enjoy!



Sadly Father Ted ended after three series and a Christmas special. The death of Dermot Morgan (who played Father Ted) shortly after the final series means that it will never return.

Celebrating St George's Day

In response to greater interest in St George's day in recent years (although I suspect that a fair proportion of patriotic Englishmen and women would still be hard pushed to give the date of his feast day) there will be a day of events in London. The main event will be a celebration of English humour in Trafalgar Square, the highlights being a screening of Monty Python and the Holy Grail and an attempt to break the world record for the biggest number of people playing in a coconut orchestra (at present the record is 1785 and was set in New York). There will also be a screening of Futtock's End if anyone remembers that!

Needless to say the idea of comedy on St George's feast day has caused outrage, well outrage is a bit strong but the One London Party(both of them) is up in arms. Damian Hockney, leader of Party, said: " Now that he (Livingstone) has been reluctantly forced to acknowledge the presence of the English, he has done it in the most bland, insulting way possible - by ignoring the rich indigenous traditions of London and England and instead focusing on the vague, generic notion of English humour. Will he be screening episodes of Father Ted' at the annual St Patrick's Day festival...?"

Why not humour? It is one of the things we are meant to be famous for. Besides, I daresay the screenings will get a good attendance and people will have fun in the process. As for Father Ted on St Patrick's day I say bring it on!

For me though the day will be another work day. I will commute to London, do my job, get irritated in the process, go home and probably blog something.

Blackadder - Election special

Blackadder is easily my favourite comedy. This clip is from the first episode of the Blackadder the third featuring the Dunny on the Wold by election. Enjoy. My damned ribs are playing up again - inflamed cartilage. I had better not laugh...
