Greetings one and each - i'm a newbie from London so a big hello to you all. I have a quote that i'd like to contribute. don't know who said it and it might even have been me....especially if no one else claims it ;o)
"Opinions are like arseholes - everyone's got one." And maintaining that theme, would it be inelegantly anal of me to point out the unusual use of language contained in paragraph 3 of the homepage? It goes without saying that i'm a huge admirer of the frymeister - including the oft unmentioned role of Piers Lonsdale in the (just for the hatrick of bum references) buttock gropingly funny New Statesman. |

Hey newbie!! Welcome! I'd like to elaborate on your theme with a gem from Dolly Parton:
"He was about as useful as a one-legged man in a butt-kicking competition." My other Dolly favourites are: "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap" and also something along the lines of: "I'm not a dumb blonde -- I'm not dumb. I'm not blonde, either." Dolly rocks!  I also once heard one of my fellow Australians claim that someone "was about as popular as poo in a hat." Have a pleasant day... |

Thanks for the welcome melampus.
Dolly - love that dry southern wit. Maintaining that american theme - Groucho Marx always has me rolling in the aisles...they hate me in ASDA! "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others. " "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. " and my all time fave... "I worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty." What i like about this one is the way it applies to me lolol |

I once heard somebody comment (quite cruelly infact) on a particularly ugly woman....
"she got a face like she's been bobbing for apples in a chip pan" (wonder if our american friends will get that one X-D |

i have to disagree - brass eye was funny and clever but the best thing this decade has to be green wing. Second would be The Thick Of It. Was Brass Eye this decade...if only i had the internet - i could check

i'm officially loved - in your face match.com!
As for the people that missed The Thick of it - i envy them in a way. Stop it you fools. These are good biscuits and they cost four pounds! I read Lord Armando talking about making a feature length film of the thing - i think the concept is to show what happens in the build up to a war. So long as there are lots of scottish people creatively swearing in it, i'll be well chuffed! Chris morris is unfairly talented - shame all the only fairly talented squits in charge lack the balls to let him make more cutting edge satire, i thought the brass eye special controversy was a brilliant take on modern day ignorance and irrationality - they even showed it again as part of c4 @ 25 just last week and it was just as provocative. |

Oscar Wilde's Fairy Tales continue to exert the same pull over the imagination and emotions as they did when he first read them to his children in the 1880s.
