Yeah? I saw something like that with the writer saying "Bloody students" or something like that, but never got confirmation.

Good old marky know's the score.

Indeed.

Snopes is your friend.

Oh well.

We can still giggle at Willy

i think that was irony...

I've split the apostrophe stuff off... (except I missed that post from emily there )

A derail to a derail? *sigh*

And it's always Tim's fault!

See?

Children's telly anyone?

Please stop it; may I point out this comment from QB already feeling the need for a slap-down once today...

Maybe a "Tim Clause" is in order to cover most recent derailments?

And children's telly is crap. That's why I stopped watching it

I really wish I wasn't in the middle perpetually, but it seems I am. The price of, er...easy irritation?

I've watched more kids telly now I'm older than I did before! I was lucky enough to be just old enough to understand Vic's Big Night Out - anyone remember that? - when it came around the first time.
Does anyone remember that bizarre cartoon about the Dream Crystal, and that bloody big blue dragon, and other craziness. There's a memory that's festered since I first ever saw the show, when I was about eleven years old.

Naaah you're not in the middle, just happened to be the post before I threw a wobbly. Not your fault Tim.

Anyhoo, I remember hating Big Night Out when I first saw it. I just didn't get it at first. It's a lot funnier when you're drunk Or 7 years old I guess.

I've no idea what any of the others are you're talking about.

Nor was my comment aimed at you, Herr Moderator - apologies! I'm just bewailing my fate as the easily-insulted Heartlander

I've gone from one to the other seamlessly, so that's probably why I still like it.

All from the same show, oddly. Just a ragtag cartoon lobbed about after school, but the only one that remains in my mind. Peculiar.

I think Vic Reeves Big Night Out is a classic. The two series still get an airing from time to time here. I just can't let them lie.
