Hope this doesn't count as a threadstomp
But I am currently engaged in a Twitter conversation with one of my all time musical heroes. Darren Hayman, once of Hefner and now of..well, Darren Hayman.

On that note, what is the best thing to happen to you ever?

And no,
I am not expecting many replies at this time on a Friday night.

I'm here, I'm queer, I'm buying you a beer.
I can't think of anything great happening to me. I guess passing my driving test in my late thirties might count.

I am sure great things have happened to you.
But as much as I appreciate the thought, don't buy me a beer, for both our sakes.

Just a quote from a very controversial series : )
Nope! I think passing my driving test covers it.

What was it from?
Something that has passed me by, it seems.

Oh!
I fucking loved that show too! Although I only watched it at the time it aired and never since, so I'll allow myself the reference miss.

It had it's funny moments.

And its moments that made me realise my then flatmate was a massive homophobe
"i'm not watching this fucking poof shit" gave the game away.

Darren Hayman appears to have abandoned the conversation we were having. How rude. It's not like such a prolific and talented artist who released 31 songs, one on each day of January this year and made 2 of the top 3, and 5 overall, of John Peel's Festive 50 in 1999 should have anything better to do with his time, is it?

I don't know what to say to that.
I need the sweaty hand brigade to turn up, I think.

i just realised that I had no idea how to answer this
I don't know what the best thing is, so I just gave a stock OT answer

I think you may be confusing
"15 inch Black Rubber Cock" with "your mum"

(insert some joke along the lines of 'well, that's what she used on me' here.)

You stick with me pal, I've got more where that came from.
Honestly it wasn't just a flash in the old pan. I swear it. I'm frequently this funny. Ask anyone.

I just asked Jimmy Tarbuck.
He said "well, Monty is alright, but he needs to get some more up to date material"

So, you know, there's that...

The guy who wrote it is hilarious - anyone referring to a German as a'blonde, blue-eyed and athletic looking boy' is surely having a cheeky Nazi lol? Or have I just gone a bit wrong in my life somewhere down the line?
