Did you enjoy meeting Blousie?
I forgot to write glass on the envelope and it arrived smashed. In effect I sent her an envelope of smashed glass.

I'm attempting to mock the taste of the Great British public

And Roota just texted me a picture of her posing with Pamela Anderson.

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 23:15, Reply)

She said she was with Pamela
So I texted Roota urging her to "Get a photo of the four of you together". She texted a pic of them both standing together. I then cringed at how unfunny and embarrassing I am and hoped she didn't actually say that.

Personally, it's 2.

The Black Adder tried a bit too hard and Rowan Atkinson didn't really define his character well enough. Although it had BRIAN BLESSED in it.

Blackadder the third had some good moments and Hugh Laurie was excellent.

Blackadder Goes Forth was a pretty solid series.

But Blackadder II properly set the template, and Miranda Richardson was just perfectly cast.

Just the one
in Liverpool, in 1990. It was at the Adelphi hotel and was brilliant. My ex wife just looked bewildered for most of it. We sat at a table for dinner one night next to Nicholas Courtney who played the Brigadier.

There's one up here every November but I always seem to be booked whenever it happens. Maybe next year.

I'm not a 'massive' fan, but I always watched when I was growing up.
I think the Kevin Sampson book, 'Away Days' has a passage in there (based on truth) about an encounter with Tom Baker.

The book isn't worth reading (although it is slightly better than the film of the same name, which really was shit).

Who are your top 3 Doctors then?

I'd go, Baker, Pertwee and the current one. In that order.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 15 Dec 2010, 0:15, Reply)

Tom.
Apart from that I can't chose, although Matt Smith is bloody good. I like them all though.

He did quote a few things for the club as 'Baldrick'
Famously at a City v Rovers game, he did the half-time draw to which there was a cry of 'can we hear Baldrick sing? No, No! Can we hear Baldrick sing, we can't hear a fucking thing!'

He responded in kind with a 'yes you fucking can' ending and got load of grief in the local press. The same local press who didn't mention the on-pitch battle at the end of the game involving about 500. It was the worst in-ground trouble I've seen since the 80s!

He also did a few of Baldricks poems at various club evening (whilst dressed in character)

'Lee Matthews, Lee Matthews, when you scored, you were a hit, this very rarely happened, 'cos you were never fucking fit'

He had something for most of the squad.

Blackadder - nowhere near as funny as people seem think and about 20% as witty*
The third series is the best as Hugh Laurie is a revelation as Prince George, followed by the second one - although Rik (sic) Mayall almost manages to completely ruin the entire series in a matter of seconds just by being in it, the solid-gold quad-bike CUNT.

The fourth series is ruined by the gay ending - I'm watching Black fucking Adder you spastics: if I want a poignant reminder of the horrors of war I shall visit the Somme: I certainly don't want one from Richard pissing Curtis, some dry ice and a bit of slowed-down film. It's the sort of thing that the kind of trendy teacher who'd ask the class to call them by their first name would make you watch to 'really make you think, yeah'? It's embarassing and pathetic in equal measures.
