    Feck sake Festy!

    I thought this was about the gelatinous breakfast with the consistency of collected congealed frat house man fat.

    Also, the show is crap.

    I used to hate porridge. I thought it tasted vile. Then I saw the light. Now I love a good bowl of porridge with water and a banana chopped into it. Yum.

    open all hours also. David Jason is a brilliant actor. I think he should have had a go at Hollywood. I read once he was dissappointed that nothing turned out for he in that regard.

    If its the 2nd best after Only Fools and Horses, that would make Porridge the 3rd best and Only Fools the second best.

    So whats the best ?

    Porridge

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I wouldn't say that exactly but still is a great show. Old fashioned comedy at its best. No swearing or sex. Well aside perhaps from Samson and Delilah. Lol.

    Tis the same as all the others, only fools n horses, open all hours, cheers, friends etc, grand and funny when you seen them once or twice but watching them over and over and fe cking over again just drives me scatty.
