    Lenny Bruce, early Peter Cook, Chris rock and Emo Phillips are pretty much it for stand-ups, while Fawlty Towers and Blackadder (esp the WWI series) were very funny.
    It wasn't for everyone.

    All those others you mention are top draw.

      When we see players we have followed along their long careers retire, we see our own mortality and age. ( more clearly than maybe we would like )

      Blimey that's profound for a sunny southender

      You have nailed my ROS point, and why we should be grateful given the way Best and A Higgins went.

      I'd type no comment on what you typed re our mortality as failings is more my word\line.

      Ken Doherty had Alex in his Snooker room, which was plastered with pics of Alex and one of George. Alex stopped and looked at it and said "Ah Georgie, what a waste!" Probably my favourite quote\line

        Surreal is garbage to me because as soon as there is a link it isn't surreal and juxtaposing provides the link etc - and Cook went pants as he followed that stuff, or may have preceded Monty, but I am not sure as I'm not that old. The little that I remember of that he was less bad than MP, but may well check out the Cook (and Moore) DVD tomorrow. Greta Garbo is hideously brilliant and right up my.... ditto his later stuff, where he went back to being a funny smart ass.

        As per top drawer, nah they should be the standard, but don't get me started on "stand ups"...

            • Is it me or is Kyren's tip looking like it is pretty worn down?
              Doesn't he have a bit of history for keeping tips on too long and then having problems during tournaments?
              I tried to catch a picture but the quality is not great

              • Yep to the history, there was the WC incident and I think at least one more.

                        That's me to a T, that is my optimum tip profile, then I get about 3 sessions of near genius before it dies and the the whole process has to start again.... Groan.
