I don’t see any incoming – I would be surprised if many disagreed….and Linc – have youy forgotten the National Service thread a few weeks ago? – I think it mas yours, wasn’t it?!!;):)

Benidorm
– The Inbetweeners
– Peep Show
– Teachers
– Qi
– The IT Crowd
– Black Books

What have I missed?!! :rolleyes:Never seen the first four, although I enjoy Mitchell and Webb, so not sure why I have missed Peep Show, QI is panel game which flaunts Stephen Fry’s ego and I’ve never seen the last two. So I would say Dad’s Army is sitting well in amongst new comedy.;)

But to be serious I doubt that much comedy writing is as good as it was say 20 years ago plus.

I think there is a debate to be had about further/higher education, university and college courses, as well as about cuts in spending, but not really on this thread. I think we have already covered the ground elsewhere anyway.

We can agree that a minority behaved as hooligans and deserved to be punished.

I wonder how many of those young people are studying subjects for which there is little likelihood of a job, following graduation, and who will then be kept by the feckless taxpayer. And I wonder how many of them wasted a year before starting college………..:)

We are just going to have to live with the fact that all the advantages of the internet come with all the disadvantages………;)

Indeed. My grandson is devoted to it!!

The three I mentioned and have read/am reading are all highly recommended. The fact that they are true stories makes them even more interesting.

Nice pictures – certainly looks like a grey day there!! Really enjoyed the Canadian Chippie.
