I am not upset about that per se, just trying to respond to you(r contrariness). I am certainly perturbed by how many shitty grovelling bastards are in, not just positions of power, but in the public eye in positions of influence and are forcefeeding this crap through our TV screens, print media, webmedia et al. I…

A meme just has to reproduce (or in other words be copied/repeated) to be a meme.

It would be nice if the famous BBC balance included talking to one or two people not too enamoured with Liz and co. or the Empire and what it stands for, but no such luck. Didn’t see them talk to any Chagos Islanders, for example. It would have been nice if my girlfriend hadn’t been so desperate to see Diana Ross last…

Props to you. You might also count yourself lucky enough not to live in an area of Glasgow not only prevalent with bunting but in view and earshot of the orange walk, who were out yesterday.

I’ve not even heard the song but I find the wall-to-wall grovelling and the parasites of parasites (i.e. royal correspondents) far more annoying. As for Kunts fans, I’ve never met, seen or heard from one. Your mileage may vary.

Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, which, we’re inferring from this video, is a massive concert headlined by Adam Lambert + Queen.

I don't care to speculate. Feeling fine Pete.

Jesus. A professional writer thinks Black means American?

Again, deliberate because it was an explanation/justification of what I had said before. And that was a direct response to your ‘doesn’t do you any favours’ remark. Just normal flow of conversation. I’ve really tried to engage with you at an adult level of discourse and respond respectfully to things you’ve said; I’m…

You are right and I am able to acknowledge it: I, a random internet commenter, am not worth getting angry over. However, leaps to invective, especially like the one in your first response to me, suggest anger. A quick look at your recent posts on various subjects, suggests the same (whether it’s true or not). My…

Tell me you’re angry without telling me you’re angry.

Well, to me what you’re describing there is kitsch. For which there is a huge market and which millions of people enjoy and find meaning or personal fulfilment in. So there is value in it. But, continuing the hypothetical, it’d still be okay for opinionated pricks like me to (innocently!) point out why they perhaps…

That’s fine Pete and I compliment your stellar imagination. To me, it was just a deliberately over-pompous (and therefore, a pisstake of myself) way of saying... “hunners of folk love it and I know they’ll pile on, but I doubt they’ll change my mind.” I was right about that. Some of this has turned into fun,…

Well I’m really not, except when occasionally, I can be a dick, but that’s true of everyone including the pope or Tom Hanks. But, I don’t think I even meant to imply that people who watch the show are children. I don’t like it when people assume comics, which I love, are for children, and I also spend a reasonable…

I watched the whole of S1, and many things about it seemed crappy to me, but my girlfriend wished to stick with it. Some of the dialogue, especially, seems to have been written by people who don’t know how football fans speak or how - on occasion - British people speak. The tea example was just that - an example. The…

I don't. At all. I just commented that I think a TV show is shit. You seem more upset about it than you should. I'm fine with the fact than some people disagree with me. Not sure why so many noses are so far out of joint though,

Yes, probably. Lots of comedy shows are silly and childish. Even some good ones. But I swear, the tone, and even the plots (at least in S1) of Ted Lasso are like some of the programmes shown on Children’s ITV or CBBC in the 80s and 90s. The Wild House. Uncle Dad. Spatz.

So Depp is INNOCENT! In America.

The problem is one of verisimilitude. I don’t believe for example, that making comments on an internet forum is particularly important (believing so might be a sign of brain damage!). However, if I wrote a TV program about it or where internet commenting featured prominently, I’d hope I could represent it in a…

“Back o’ the net!”
