Ulster humour of old!

LOL..his he the character from Benny Hill?  

Of course being from the States I don't know too much about your regular shows.  But I just love some of the shows on BBC.  oh, like... my favorite, "Keeping Up Appearances"  Got to love the way she say Bouquet, instead of Bucket..LOL. I use to watch "Upstairs, downstairs" and my new one is the....Oh, geez, I forgot the first part..I think it is the "Vicar Of Dublin"  oh but she is good!  Love her humor!

While I type this, my internet has gone down, but I'm able to type away..oh..goodies.[]  Think I'll chat away then...hmmmm...lets see, what else do I like on BBC..

They have their own version of "While You Were Out"  always fixen up the backyards.. Does everyone have fenced in backyards like that?  I would love a fence!  No worries for the little ones or the new dog that hopefully we will get one day.

Oh..and there is that one dude..sheesh, can't recall his name, but a talk show host..very british and funny!!  

Oh..lookie there, my internet is up again..[]  So, guess I'll post this now... You'd think spending over a hundred dollars for internet and cable, it would work all the time..but oh, well..only a few minutes of time.[^]

Long before the current attempts at a lasting Peace Process in Northern Ireland , James Young was paving the way by getting both sides of the religious divide to laugh at themselves and their own petty bigotries.

Though I had never heard of him, it seems a good deal of his work had been to heal through laughter. He must have been quite a person. Thanks for sharing that website!


Very best,

I know I was (Great)British in a past life, because I 'get' the humor.  That's a lot for an American []  Dave Allen and the 2 Ronnies....sigh, no longer on TV.

'The Office' ROCKS! and is the first british tv comedy to win best comedy *in the US awards*, as far as I know..

Ricky Gervais' (David Brent's) award speach was priceless:
'yeah, we come from a little old country called England, you might have heard of it, we used to rule the world before you did!'... it got big laughs from the US audiance!

I hear they are planning a US version of the office, which I'm sure will be complete crap, but we'll have to see!

Almost forgot, for those who like Scottish comedy, 'Chewin the fat' is a great sketch show; Billy Boyd from 'Lord of the rings' converted the entire lotr cast to it when they were filming...

'Gonna no dae that... just, gonna no?'
