I find the Fenton clip funny as well but I have no idea why.

A few names I missed; Dara O’Briain, John Bishop and Lee Evans (in small doses)

Blackadder series 2,3 and 4 are still funny after repeated viewings. Outnumbered and Not Going Out are favourites of recent sitcoms.

Game On from the 1990s was pretty funny as well.

What surprises me about this is not the intransigence of the MOD (that goes without saying) but the fact it was a problem in the first place. The names should never have been added and as soon as it was noticed they should been removed immediately – without question. Please tell me that this hasn’t been going on for years.

Apparently the wording isn’t in the treaty of Union but in the Declaration of Arbroath which states that the Scottish people will always have the prerogative in any decisions. I can’t confirm as I haven’t read the Declaration of Arbroath.

Absolutely right. I believe the wording of the Union Treaty stated that the Union was in place until such time as the people wanted it removed.

Personally I don’t particularly agree with independence for Scotland but I completely understand the reasons. The UK has always been stronger when it is united. As a Scot living in England, it would also effectively make me a foreigner in my own country.

You should be OK posting in the normal Military aircrew sub-forum. Folks who respond might send a PM rather than post on the open forum. A repeat post in the “Where Are They Now?” section might work too.

Have you tried the military forum on Pprune? Maybe someone over there would know?

PeeDee, that’s an absolute classic, I almost fell off my chair laughing – did anybody else spot it ?

Spot what?

What makes you laugh is often so variable though. I am a great fan of Eddie Izzard and some of early material is very funny yet I watched his most recent DVD and barely raised a smile. Whether I wasn’t in the mood or his material has gone stale I don’t know.
Like others, I don’t see what is funny about about Michael McIntyre but I like Lee Mack, Jack Dee, Ross Noble and Rich Hall among others.
Tim Vine is in class of his own though and is free from bad language normally.

I’ll go along with Deano though about The Young Ones, a breath of fresh air when I first watched in the early 1980s. Bottom was pretty good too. Slapstick for the 1990s.
Laurel and Hardy, Dad’s Army, Fawlty Towers still have the ability to raise a laugh but having said that, many other comedies do not.
I have to say that most new sitcoms that I’ve seen recently have been poor. There is always the hope of finding a really funny new series but so often it ends in disappointment. In my view any sitcom will have to be special to as good as my favourite, Father Ted.

Reminds me of this…

Wow, what a clown that bloke is. I heard about this a while ago – I’m surprised he wasn’t jailed for speeds like that.
