Charlie Brooker isn't an insult to intelligent people?
Charlie does not insult, he's a literate-necromonger, every word has been sharpened into a dagger-like object to hit at the heart of his targets, and then turn it into pulp, he is probably not loved by all, but those who do, agree with every word he slays with.
Brooker is just snide & can only hold forth when there is no-one to challenge his opinions. Put him in a programme with other people & he is completely lost. Viz his recent non appearance on Buzzcocks. Most of his comments are just obvious & juvenile.

I got Perry McCarthy's book
Stephanie
Would I sound twisted and like a stalker if I said that I thought Stephanie was a lovely name and that if I were ever fortunate enough to have a daughter, that is the name I would like her to have?
Absolutely.

You know, when I saw that comment, an idea instantly came to my head, but it has taken several minutes of careful deliberation and weighing up the potential positives and negatives and various outcomes of posting that idea. I decided to follow through, so here goes.
That's no way to talk to Mr. Goblin Moderator Sir.

Your face is downright unAmerican.
Damn straight. I look German.
I was actually going to put 'Your mother is downright unAmerican' but then I remembered that she really is.

That's just begging for some inappropriate WW2 analogies.

Ah, pre-Monty Python. Fab.
No Python late 60s/v. early 70s; Towers 1976. Just 12 episodes but Cleese' finest hour.

Hey, what's up with me? I saw my nick or something I'll see what I can do with that serie. I have limited Internet time where I'm right now, and I also like to contribute to the wiki.

Now it's my turn to say "what?"

Never mind. Better get back to topic, if there's a topic at all... Question is, Fawlty Towers is a great comedy and is worth a shot or two...

Yes it is. It occurs to me that you may have seen it under another name. It has been sold all round the World & the put upon Spanish waiter (sorry) changes nationality to fit in with local national views.

Yep you've got there. The car episode is not one of my favourites. It was all a bit "Terry & June" that one (cliched 60's sitcom). Hope you also viewed the "don't mention the war" clip on Youtube
