I'm going to expose my ignorance here
but who is Eddie Izzard?
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 13 Jan 2010, 9:29, 6 replies, latest was 16 years ago)

A dismally unfunny comedian
and terrible actor whose claim to fame is simply that he occasionally dresses as a woman. Incroyable.

EDIT: his other special skill is that he is dyslexic.

You don't like him?
How surprising!

A more self-indulgent tosser you would be hard pushed to find
Doing a routine in France in schoolboy French?

It's not often I feel sorry for our Gallic cousins but fuck me that must have been terrible. The whole things smacks of a ghastly Dave Gorman-esque self-promoting but utterly dismal 'funny idea'.

I don't find Eddie Izzard that funny, to be honest
But I do like Dave Gorman.

Edit - and I actually quite like the French too. Must be the auld alliance.

I'm sure you could find one. *laughs*
To be honest I don't find him that funny, I just have a thing for men in drag.

So do I.
The 'thing' I have is called 'pity'.

cross-dressing comedian
he's rather funny. I think you'd like his stuff
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 13 Jan 2010, 9:31, Reply)

He's a cross-dressing
British stand up comedian, who ran a silly number of marathons in about 7 weeks last year for charity.

By the way
are you melting? It even made the news here that southern Australia is very hot just now.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Wed 13 Jan 2010, 9:32, Reply)

I was on Monday,
it was 44 degrees. Today was a much cooler 21 degrees. Yesterday it was 16 degrees, hailing, and with thunderstorms. Crazy weather.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 13 Jan 2010, 9:38, Reply)

Unlike here
where last week it was about -12°C here overnight, but now it's not even frosty at night and it's a balmy 4°C during the day. Most of the snow's melted now, although there's still some inland. And down in England they've had more overnight.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Wed 13 Jan 2010, 9:40, Reply)

there was snow causing 7 hour delays just outside Exeter last night
whereas just a few miles away we had non-stop fucking cold rain. delightful
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 13 Jan 2010, 9:44, Reply)

that is mental.

(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 13 Jan 2010, 9:46, Reply)

not as mental as 44 fucking degrees
and you have the temerity to call your country civilised....
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 13 Jan 2010, 9:46, Reply)

It's mental either way
With cold weather it's difficult to get around in the snow, you have to dress like a fucking Eskimo to go to the corner shop, pipes freeze and all that sort of stuff.

But if it's too hot, there's a limit to how little you can wear (either physically or for social acceptability reasons) and then you have water shortages and all.

We're never happy!

Ignore Monty, he clearly has no clue

My favourite Eddie stand up is here (and I uploaded it!)
