    Her boyfriend that she keeps wittering on about is Gary Delaney. He was doing a gig nearby recently and agreed to do a spot at a "comedy night" at a local pub first. When he got there, there were a total of 9 punters, which increased to 16 when a troupe of coffin dodgers shuffled in from the old folk's home opposite. He asked them if they minded rude jokes to which they all shook their heads so he did 40 mins of the most obscene, foul mouthed jokes he could think of. Was absolutely brilliant and a total pro.

    By the way, claiming that comedians claiming to be thick is a new thing is total balls. May I refer you to Morecambe & Wise?

    Relax.
    Don't disagree. But when you get someone you don't like on a programme you do like, it's just so difficult to know what to do, isn't it?


    And what's General for if not pointless ranting? Or winding people up by taking a opposite position whether or not you agree with it? Haven't you been paying attention?

    Nope, shan't. I stopped being a ten year old sniggering at "bum" a long time ago. Most modern comedians are intelligent people deliberately playing the thicko and using insults and scatology rather than having to try to be genuinely funny. I prefer that they use their intelligence to amuse and not rely on trying to shock the gullible.


    Go look up an old Dave Allen show and count the swear words. Or how many times Connolly in his prime pretends to be dim. Then tell me they aren't funny. Russell Howard is rude and foul-mouthed, but he still makes me laugh. Wonder why?

    Scented candles and/or padded coat hangers.

    These things always come in useful.

    Alternatively be really really nice and buy her a bottle of alcohol that you know she will never drink.

    Go have a sherry and pull the stick out of your arse, you might even have a fun evening.

    Highlights include; Sarah's Geordie Shore makeover, making sexy scones with Paul Hollywood, learning how to forward roll with Beth Tweddle with commentary from Clare Balding AND Sarah asking BBC Breakfast's Bill Turnbull about his toilet routine. Plus lots more. ...

    Seriously, why would anyone buy this? Highlights from a chat show? WTAF?
