Living in LEEDS, I can say that the fares keep increasing despite a crappy service. Have never seen anyone take a bike on though….

Wot about Harry Enfield & Pual Whitehouse??

Dave, I think you’ve got a point about the two Rons. Both were very decent comedy actors, esp Barker. Porridge was (and still is) a gem.

However, you have to realise that when M & W and the Two Ronnies were on TV, they could command an audience of up to 20 millions or more. Esp if it was a Christmas special. This was 3 channel Britain. Now with multi channel TV, if a prog in Britain gets 8 -10 Million, its doing well….

Wot about Tony Hancock and Sid James (before my time and not often repated).

Harry H. Corbett and Wilfred Bramble (Steptoe & Son, bloody funny)

The Goodies (ok, a threesome but had to mention)

The big q is how do you know the’s not a bomb on board? Whilsy you’re dealing with one terrorist, another could be a Richard Reid like “shoe bomber” and game over….

Well, it looks like we’ll be talking about the late George Best sooner rather than later. Yep, I agree his drink problems are mostly self inficted, I still feel some sympathy for his close freinds and reletives. A very sad end indeed…..

I quite like it. Each to his own I guess.

I do think they borrow heavily from Monty Python, The Fast Show and the League of Gentlemen.

One of the best surreal comedy’s is a dark cartoon called Monkey Dust. Shown on BBC3 last year. Makes many of little Britains characters look tame in comparison….

Okaaay. I understand more where you’re coming from now.

Canada often gets a good write up with positive feedback. Polite, freindly people. Clean streets. A good mix of cultures. Then again….VERY cold winters. HUGE country, can take ages to get anywhere, depending on where you live, obviously. And dare I say, only going from what I hear others say, a tad boring…

San Francisco, Boston and Seattle seem nice places in the US. Never visited them. However, the images I see look nice.
