It's the hopeless lack of ambition. The acceptance that Saturday night with a £5 takeaway and a bout of text voting
is the pinnacle of what has life to offer. The feckless idioctic pointlessness of their lives that will pass without a single blip in the greater human conciousness; some new trainers and sky sports is a good year, down the kings Arms for 5 pimnts of Stella every friday night with the same poverty striken losers trying to drink away the nagging feeling that there might be MORE to life. but why bother, when the game's on tomorrow and you can transfer your hopes and dreams onto a group of spitting, arrogant rapists chasing a ball for you like it were the answer to the meaning of life.

that and they're ugly.

I hold similar contempt
for the braindead middleclasses who live their dull lives sucked into slightly better TV and who talk of nothing but house prices and how everything is such a shame without actually doing a damn thing and the highlight of their lives is some crappy 'scandal' or a trip to Homebase to buy some more shit to fill up their houses with to make them look like catalogues and put massproduced art on the wall. Those whose aim in life is to be just like everyone else.

David Walliams is repellant. Eddie Izzard is always out of his depth on things like that (see also his appearance on QI), Jonathon Ross is just a caricature of himself these days, and so is David Mitchell come to that. Miranda Hart was just Miranda Hart and all that involves and the last one was so bland that I can't even remember who it was.

I thought Izzard & Mitchell did well, considering what they had to put up with from the other teams.

The missing one was Jamie Oliver.

Mitchell is always reliable, but it's getting a bit repetitive.
It's might be more over exposure than he's actually less funny than he used to be though.

And I adore Izzard, I really do, I love his stand up and I love his acting and I want him to be briiliant in everything, but he's just not good at panel shows. I don't know why, but he just seems uncomfortable to me.
