He looks like Paul Gadd's son. I googled that to make sure it wasn't true.

Not a troll; I just really find NPR irritating (even more so since the subset I have to listen to is MPR, which is extra double smug). However it is the ONLY radio I do listen to, so more fool me.

He has the most irritating speech impediment of anyone I've ever heard. How he gets to be on the radio to whine and whistle about bugger-all is beyond me.

Obligatory League quote thread:

AV Club needs to do The League next.

…and your penis!
Daisy complains at the DSS that she's been waiting 'over an hour!'. In a lesser sitcoms it would some ungodly amount of time (5 hours!) to raise a laugh. An hour really isn't that long a time, yet it's clearly much more time than Daisy wants to spend doing anything she doesn't like.

ONE recommendation for ZMF.

Byker Byker Byker Byker Byker Grooooooh-ve!

You know, in that way, I'm always a bit surprised that Spaced is so popular, precisely for that reason: it reminds me of a happy me. All the characters are poster-children the entitlement of the English upper-middle class; the kind of people to whom nothing really bad ever happens. It's the joy you have when you're…

I think I'm right in seeing Mark Heap as playing Brian as quite a bit older than Daisy and Tim (he'd have been in his early '40's during Spaced), which is perfect. It makes the artist cliches just the more accurate, since the show was made during the white heat days of the the yba's.

I love Spaced because it reminds me so much of my own life in my mid-twenties. Like the middle-class characters in Spaced (does the class thing register with an American audience?) I too, wanted a 9-5 job, a mortgage etc, but like Daisy and Tim, was just a bit shit at being an adult; I wanted to, but just didn't know…

It's not finished….
…It's finished.

That is all.

*whole* Damn sausage fingers.

@Clueless Neophyte. The only authentic thing about Brit's Pub is that the beers piss, the decor is shabby and the while experience is vaguely disappointing. Just like a real pub in Jolly Old England!

The Sherlock's Home guy (Christ, I hated that name) just got bored and closed the place because it was too much like hard work. He then went in with a bunch of ya you betcha Minnesota investors and started up the beloved Granite City chain of suburban casual restaurant brew houses.
Minnesota; it all turns to shit…

I'm with Karla. At least an hereditary head of state has been trained to do the job from..er…birth. So they're bound to better at it, right? Queen's done a pretty good job over the last 60 odd years.

Ooooh, I forgot about Centurion. What a disappointment that was; how can you screw up a Fassbender movie where Micky off Dr Who gets eaten by wolves and McNulty off The Wire gets crucified to Scottish rock? Someone needs to give Neal Marshal a good slap.

Lobbed. It's lobbed a scimitar. Do keep up, 007.

Good in 'Hunger', gives good Oirish.
