If at all possible, yes.

Reminds me of a shit playground joke:

1: "Have you got hair?"
2: "Yes."
1: "Have you got a back?"
2: "Yes"
1: "Have you got a side?"
2: "Yes"
1: "Haha!  You've got a hairy backside!"

Almost as funny as the Pea Soup gag

> (are B&S lovers a broad enough representation of the human race?)

I think that describing us as "human"s would challenge Darwin's theories a
smidge.

Napier Uni does various meejah courses, but it's a bad idea doing it in
Edinburgh, as there's piss-all media interest bar The Scotsman and the
Edinburgh Evening News.  Better doing a course near to London.  My
sister's doing one at West Kent College in Tonbridge, which she reckons is
pretty damn good.

I've been wondering this too.  I listened to an old tape, and the
"house-sharing" sketch is still as funny as I remember it being five years
ago... possibly funnier, since I've now actually lived like a student, and
really know the meaning of the phrase "Hey look, it's only a sausage."

His last two novels have been pretty lame, too.

Still, at least Alexei Sayle's new series is well up to his usual
standards.  (I can say this, cause Peter isnae around to do his Bobby
Charriot impression :)

You think you've got problems?  I've got to learn to drive *and* pass my
test between 20th June and 17th August.  That's going to be a total
fucking barrel of laughs.

> if you fail something

Yes, but only in a parallel universe.

No he ain't.  He just has had some bloody good writers.  (David Renwick,
who does One Foot In The Grave these days, wrote all his monologues for
The Two Ronnies.  There's a book of them called "But I Digress")

Doesnae work, but you can at least admire the colour scheme.

I'm stuck with Voulez Vous at the moment.  But not the Abba version.  The
version Alan Partridge did, where he over emphasizes the "Aha" bits.

Voulez vooooooo  AHA take it now or leave AHA now is all you get AHA

Fave T-shirt at the moment.  Plain white with "SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE" on it
in black letters.  Until it goes under a UV light, when the words "HERION
MINDFUCK" mysteriously appear.

And now I'm off to enjoy the weekend. (HAHAHA!  I'm off to fight with
Microsoft Word for Windows.)

See you later, popchums.
