        I find Peter Kay incredibly irritating. Particularly when he did all that Way to Amarillo stuff.

        Just saw michael MacIntyre's Live at Wembley DVD and I have to say, it was brilliant. Really good observational comedy. Jack Dee's good too, similar stuff but a lot more deadpan.

          I recognise that phrase, its one of the 17 ways a woman says 'NOT LIKELY'
          I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

                McIntyre is one of the worst comedians of the new batch of mild comedy. Not as unfunny as John Bishop but pretty poor. About 2 years ago I saw him (MM) at a stand-up gig with no more than 20 people there and thought he was carp then. Can't understand why he has become so popular, although I notice women find him hilarious and men not so much. No idea why.
                The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                    Lee Evans is Tulip...... Norman Wisdom was bad but I guess 50 years ago that sort of stuff was "funny".....

                    I am thinking of the right Tw@t aren't I.... the bad Norman Wisdom impersonator.... with no talent.... no humour.... no timing.... just a badly fitting jacket.....
