(SnoopySnoopyDoggDogg, Tue 8 Oct 2002, 11:19, archived)

pheonix nights is good

but i'm still not convinced it's as funny as it could be. the 'jokes' are spread a bit thin, like he's had to make too many episodes out of the same material.

the first series of the league of gentlemen was some of the funniest tv in years, but suffered the same problem. the second series was strained, and the third series is just awful.

It's so well-observed that it's too painful to watch - I suppose I think it's funny but I could never laugh at it.

Dr Phil Kitten, Tue 8 Oct 2002, 11:14, archived)

i apologise. you're right, good observation, clever situation, interesting characters. but whenever i've had to deal with people like that in real life, they seem a lot more amusing than it does on the telly.

acting at being Steve Coogan in the series, when he's usually being Davidson.

he actually seemed to be quite a sweety, and he claimed his 11 o'clock show (shudder) character was just that, a character, he just foolishly used his real name (unlike Ali G)

I have to disagree

Davidson is a talentless, racist cunt. And it makes me sick that the BBC take my TV licence money, and pay his wages with it. FOR BIG BREAK! Grrrrr

(SnoopySnoopyDoggDogg, Tue 8 Oct 2002, 11:37, archived)

the thing

is that on his C4 show, Ricky 'ironically' told the same bigoted jokes as Davidson does. They're still the same jokes.

(I don't actually mind the office for what it's worth)

(

monkeon schmonkeon, Tue 8 Oct 2002, 11:39, archived)

good point

But thing is with Davidson, his audience are, generally speaking, racists and bigots themsleves. He knows this, he writes material aimed at them. Gervais says the jokes to get a "shock" laugh, as the audience he gets is very different.

Grunted

was my favourite schoolboy word for the act of flatulence.

It caused great opportunities for classroom uncontrolable giggles when reading outloud in English class.

Something like :

------------------------------------
"What do you think of my decision to leave home, Mark?" asked Suzie.

Mark grunted and left the room.
------------------------------------

Oh how I laughed and laughed.

What should I do?

I'm sick of computers (royally). So maybe it's time to change jobs..
I'm a trained electricain, have done builing work, carpentry, joinery and furniture restoration.
Me dad has asked me if I would like to get into the electrical controls business (that means designing and setting up all the alarms, heating and aircon controls etc)..
What do you think? Or should I stop whining about my cushy desk job?

(

Hugo Rune, Tue 8 Oct 2002, 10:38, archived)

cushy desk jobs are the biz

I've had some fucking shit jobs in my time, my lad, including factory work and cleaning bogs. Office workers don't know how lucky they are. I'd say do what you enjoy most. Listen to yer dad.

(

Fat Boab of dailyreckless.com fame, Tue 8 Oct 2002, 10:40, archived)

Me too...

Worked in a slaughter house for 2 years back in the auld country..
However, the elecrical controls thing sounds good. When I was sparking I helped install the light on the top of Canary Wharf tower (which was fun :)
Besides, all the sparks I know earn twice what I'm getting, they get exercise and they get to knock off at 4. Bastards.

Plus you get the

chance to sing at the top of your voice, swear constantly, drink more tea than is healthy for you and fart and belch inpublic without embarassment.

he does that anyway

but not the singing - you can't really sing slipknot can you?

That's

coz I'd only scare you if I did :)

dont forget reading the daily sport.

that was the one good thing about working on building sites when I did.

Oh, apart from being dutibound to shout obsenities at any woman that walks past.

Dr Nick Riviera, Tue 8 Oct 2002, 11:19, archived)

None of them jobs

mean you can dick about on the interweb all day though. You'd actually have to get some work done.

(tomsk, Tue 8 Oct 2002, 10:41, archived)

But I've been dicking about on the interweb

for 7 years now.. Have programmed pooters, taught the things, supported monkey staff..
I think I'm going throught the 6-7 year "Christ I'm sick of this" period...

me also... me also...

I want to become a sea-kelp farmer in the most uninhabitable regions imaginable... where I can deprive myself of my obsessive disorder whereby I sit in front of puters all day and achieve works of microcosmic proportion. GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!!

well,

if you want my honest opinion... :)

That's

why I asked!

(

Hugo Rune, Tue 8 Oct 2002, 10:43, archived)

I thought you should stop whinging about your cushy desk job.

On the other hand, if being a sparky really would pay you twice as much, do that instead.

Anyway, don't listen to me - I'm doing a job I don't give a toss about and being viciously underpaid, as I believe I may have mentioned. :)

(

Dr Phil Kitten, Tue 8 Oct 2002, 10:50, archived)

unless you want to go into business with me?

We could come up with a fantastic new idea and become so rich and decadent that people would get sick at the thought of our vast reserves of real live federal cash?

Like a fucking shot, I would!

Get yer thinking cap on then!

I always wanted to set up a "stress shop" where we would buy loads of cheap plates, glasses, etc, give people a baseball bat and allow them to smash the shite out the stuff (and charge them a fairly large amount too :)

Yes.

interesting question!

computers really don't seem to make you happy - whereas more outdoor pursuits and actually achieiving something physical does seem to satisfy you - do what makes you happy and maybe more financially happy?

Instead of that I could be a "cheery uppy" sort of escort. I'd meet people and make them feel better about themselves because lets face it, I'm a fucking hopeless twat.

Nah..

My luck would show that
A) the coin would not come back down.
B) it'd land on its edge
or 3) It'd plummet back down, hit me in the eye and blind me.

If you can think of something else you'd really enjoy,

change jobs.
