Not watched but read
I borrowed Clive Barker - The Great And Secret Show from our work bookshelf and started reading it. It is shite, most disappointing. I've only previously done this with an Irvine Welsh book (can't remember the name now)

EDIT:
The Office, Gavin and Stacey, The IT Crowd

FUCK YOU! Nobody replied to my thread *sobs*

I did.
Although the mental image of my knackers covered in a cold gel may have driven people away.

This may well be the case though you did say an attractive lady was handling them

Rather expertly, too.
Fortunately not too expertly, though.

Some might say
that was expertly in a non-spunking type manner

I'm trying to read Narrow Dog to Carcassone,
it's about a retired couple on a narrowboat who decide to try and cross the channel. I really want to read it but the way the guy writes is just absolutely dreadful. He doesn't use speech marks so it's all he said this and then I said this, blah blah says I to him. It's like wading through tar.

The Irvine Welsh one
was written in full on Glesgea and far too hard to read easily. Also the story was mittens

fuck, if you think that was bad
try "how late it was, how late" by james kelman. I've never got more than 10 pages into that, it's just unintelligible. And I live in Scotland.

That book is fucking brilliant.
Just get used to his writing style. It's fine, it's not that hard to deal with. At least he's not Dan Brown.

I've kind of got into it now
When I first started it I wasn't really concentrating so I kept having to re-read bits and then I got annoyed, but now I'm quite enjoying it. I've been given the sequel, Narrow Dog to Indian River, as well.

I do think the guy thinks he's a bit funnier than he is though and so far when he's tried to be stoic and moving it hasn't really come across very well, but I'm going to keep going with it!

I'm barely literate.

Man who wrote Angela's Ashes did the same thing- little to no punctuation, and that was a shit book

Irony
(from the Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία eirōneía, meaning dissimulation or feigned ignorance)[1] is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or situation in which there is a sharp incongruity or discordance that goes beyond the simple and evident intention of words or actions.
