The one with Courteney and Tomas? We just watched it tonight. Horrid story.

That's the one, usually I don't get bothered by what's shown on telly but seeing the boy lying in bed pronounced braindead got me.

Anything - ANYTHING - that features that repulsive clown James Corden. There is nothing funny, amusing or entertaining at this moron who has absolutely inexplicably been hailed as a comedy God.

I really can't understand why he has a chat show in 'murica. He must have sooked some about of boaby to get that gig, as he seems to have no personality traits that would make him popular there. Apart from being overweight.

The current role-reversal fad in adverts, with adult children lecturing their parents. See the Philadelphia commercial, and the one where the laddie tries to bully his father into letting someone finger his arsehole. Everyone involved needs a good slap.

 

Also, the Nationwide advert where the gormless berk makes a contactless payment with a non-contactless card, on a terminal that doesn't take contactless payments.Shame the lassie from the bus didn't strangle him to death with his dad's scarf. Grr.

Jonathon Meades, who did a documentary about Scottish football and architecture a couple of years ago, has a new show about Mussolini and fascism on BBC4. Good to get to get a programme you actually have to concentrate on to follow. My main finding so far is that Mussolini bears a remarkable resemblance to Yogi Hughes, lately of ICTFC.

Just watched that. Meades is sum boi.

 

He keeps popping these wee lines in; "The extraordinary Lady Houston, a tireless horizontal who became one of the richest women in Britain, and an avid funder of anti-communist causes, owned a Belgian Griffon which she named Benito in honour of her hero."

The AO advert with the Scottish couple buying a new tele. Horrible.

Remember the good old days when any Scottish couple who wanted a telly would go to Glen's, Hutchison, Robertson and Stepek?

Pretty sure there was one of those shops in Rosyth in the wee unit beside King's Road primary (the primary school for the tinks and retards that was forever in the shadow of it's much more illustrious neighbour across the road)

Watched this on Youtube, (my thread, my rules) but thought Colbert was funnier when he did his spoof right wing thing. This isn't bad, but a bit too earnest for my liking. Everyone on American TV is trying to imitate Jon Stewart and can't quite pull it off, apart from John Oliver.

City in the Sky on BBC. The documentary is right up my street, love all things aviation.

The only gripe is the idea that every sentence that is said that there is meant to be an element of surprise and awe.

Think that's down to it being an Open University production.

Utterly fascinating show, I've really enjoyed it.

Apparently The Voice: Kids is a thing. That's a great idea for a TV show. Let's reject an 8 year old and tell them they're not good enough, in front of a TV audience and millions of viewers. That definitely won't emotionally scar them.

Never watched it, but I do remember an early-seventies aberration called Junior Showtime. Given the standard of the kids who appeared, God knows what the rejects were like.

The Tax Credits advert. A mum and dad with twin sons. The boy(s) appear to have cerebral-palsy or some such disability.

I don't know why I like it and will probably sound patronising as f**k trying to explain myself, but I think it's good to see an advert which is closer to real life and not just the over the top perfect health family. Good to see these two boys given a shot, even if it's only an advert at this stage.

There's an advert with that chef boy from Saturday kitchen advertising Lidle or Waitrose, some supermarket I think anyway. There's this nippy sweetie on it with a northern accent. She's a pain in the japs eye

"All the kids are bringing their friends James?"

"Mee 'usband's invited his friends for the footy James?"

"What'm a going to do James?"

"Same time next week James?"

"Lick mee fanny James"

"Bend over n touch yer toes and I'll show you where mee big black strap on goes James"

Okay, I made the last two up but you get the jist
