I figure a few Brits are online and may be able to help me. I've been out of the loop here in Thailand pretty much ever since 'Brass Eye'. I did watch 'Jam' though, but that was a few years ago now. Didn't Chris Morris have a comedy on TV a few months back? What was the name and was it any good?

Sorry if this bores you or you've never heard of him or his work. I just find him the funniest person ever.

Chris Morris = bona fide genius.

Here's something cool: BBC 7, one of the "not listened to digital radio stations" replays comedy stuff from way back.

Including "On the Hour", which was Chris Morris' radio show which eventually turned into The Day Today on tv. With Alan Partridge, etc. It's fucking funny.

and you can hear an episode here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7...n/tuesday/

just scroll down to 11pm.

But i don't know what he's up to now.

Yeah, he did have that series fairly recently, but i didn't get a chance to watch it. Nathan Barley, or something.

Thank you! I'll check it out now.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't start this thread with you in mind.

And yes, he is a genius.

Did you ever get to read his column 'Waiting To Die'?

My brother used to have all these sound bites on his computer so that when he'd boot up it'd say things like 'fucknut!'

"War is the rose petal in the bumgut of Satan."

"fact me 'til I fart!"

"Those are the headlines. God I wish they weren't."

"quadra-spazzed on a life-glug."






Couldn't get the BBC7 thing to play, by the way. Downloaded some .ram file that I couldn't open.

"Fact times importance equals NEWS!"

"Eat my goal!!!"

"Shit, did you see that?"

"Yes...yes..yeeeeesssss!!!"

"And another!"

"He must have a foot like a traction engine!"

"Chris: We're pushed for time, can you sum it up in a word?
Spartacus Mills: No.
Chris: A sound?
Spartacus: Woouueerrrr.
Chris: Spartacus, thank you."

It's so quotable.

"Alan: Greg Louganis... Down, Double back twister, bangs his head and in. Textbook."

BreddieMercury said:

Oh FUCK!

"Peter, you've lost the news!"

"Alan: Twat! That was liquid football!"

"Chris Morris: Gaydesk now with Colin Poppshed.
Colin Poppshed: Thanks Chris. Quick roundup of today's gayness, starting with the roads: The M70, the A3, the B664 and the A48M. They are all gay as of "midnight tonight."

Tomorrow's newspapers

The Express go with 'Lord Mayor's Pirouette in Fire Chief Wife Decapitation'. Grisly but gripping.
'Drowned Italian Wins Eurovision'.
'Arafat Ablaze in Kerosene Oyster Hell'.
The Mirror rather upset: 'Fleetwood Mac Buried in Dog Avalanche'.
'Bank of England Recovers from Swollen Chairman Unusualness'.
'Boiled Dog Could do Maths Claims Experimenter'.
'Elastic Song Strangles Hucknall'.
'"Portillo's Face Felt Like Guts" Says Girl'."

You're killing me.

"Italian Correspondent: The Vatican realised the computer had been tampered with when they discovered that Jesus had died of food poisoning aged nineteen, and Lou Reed had been canonised as a saint."

I like you so much more now that I know you like Chris Morris.

You mean, you liked me less before?

If you like me, maybe you could ask the moderators to stop deleting my threads.

Thanks!
