    Bull Island was good but I was dissapointed with that special the other day, Bremner Bird and Fortune is deffinitly the most sophisticated while Have I Got News For You gets the most cheap shots in. btw I think the show has gone down hill since Angus left.

    Be sure to watch the new series of Give My Head Peace; its suppost to be the best material yet.;)

    "Oh you'll never meet a nice South African!"

    I'm sure I've told this story before, but it's a classic so I'll tell it again: Distant relation of the mothers dies and I'm dragged along to the funeral with her. The priest speaks in a dull monotone so at one stage the mother nudges me in the ribs and whispers "In the national interest!" at me. I nearly wet meself.

    Ah the old ones..
    Drop the dead donkey
    Scrap Saturday..
    Hall's pictorial weekly

    Bull island could be very good if it wern't for the liable laws - maybe they should produce it on the Isle of Man or something ??

    Spitting image (the first few series only)

    Nah I don't miss Angus - his stuff seemed too scripted,

    "have i got news for you" is great at the moment.
    I've also taken to buying private eye and viz and reading alternative pages from both.

    i still listen to the scrap saturday cd from time to time.
