Nasty.

[whatho]

I rather disliked that episode of HIGNFY. It was just plain nasty and unfunny for much of the time. It had lots of funny bits buried in there, but those aren't the bits I really remember.

I am quite put out.

Hang on though.

'Base ball,' says Dr Pierce, 'cricket, boxing, and fencing, are all manly exercises when practiced solely with a view to their hygenic advantages, and as such have our approval.'

Dwelling on their dirty sides with provoke severe tutting.

I find it disturbing that Dr Pierce neglects the fine benefits of snooker.

Doesn't he know that - "Playing snooker gives you firm hands and helps to build up character. It is the ideal recreation for dedicated nuns."

I fancy he would find snooker terminology too suggestive. Frankly, Dr Pierce would find instructions on rewiring a plug too suggestive.

Nuns playing snooker would make great sport.

Far too much screwing back, perhaps. Did Dr Pierce ever manage to successfully propogate?

I think their habits might get in the way. Possibly we could dress snooker players up as nuns as an experiment?

I thought it was funny! But Sean Lock wasn't that amazing. Short jokes. Am missing Angus.

Yeah. It was mostly based on John Prescott being fat, and Cherie looking bad, and oh the boredom. The pipette was a bit amusing.

Indeed. There are only so many jokes about John Prescott being fat I can take - around one per episode, usually. Sean Lock gave off the air of an ex-school bully.
