If it's good enough for HonaloochieB then by god it's good enough for you, you brazen pup you


for 15 years I didn't get seinfeld - resented it in fact. But it is most definitely genius


It's not the plots or the "jokes" - it's the internal workings of the characters. The trappings of the era (slap bass and all) can grate but more often add to the charm. And no, his dress sense doesn't get any better

Oh god.. please don't start quoting from Seinfeld. People quoting jubilantly from Seinfeld has put nearly as many people off Seinfeld as, well, the show itself.


Realistically, how much of it do you have to force yourself to watch before you can expect some sort of a return?

This!


George Costanza (the character) makes me laugh the most. Also the mail man... Kramer can be irritating!


What about Curb your enthusiasm *Bob*?

What have you watched so far Bob? I would say don't judge it on the pilot or first few episodes give it a bit of time and it'll eat away at your funny bone. You'll be crying by the final episodes. Nancy Sinatra is supposed to have missed the passing of her father as she was away from his bedside watching the final episode.

Believe me, it was a relief not to find Frasier funny, having seen the average Frasier fan, banging on about 'the script' and screaming with theatrical laughter at the slightly mildly risible occurrence.

Is it because the comedy is just so sophisticated that it takes at least four or five hours of it before mere mortal brains manage to distill what they can into the semblance of a laugh? I suppose it must be.


That's what they say anyway. And boy do they love to say it.

There's a story arc, usually one in an episode and several over a series. Yes it's a bit more sophisticated than your average sitcom but that's part of the joy. Forgive us for intellectualising (sp?!) comedy or should we have a Pol Pot style attitude towards it? ;-)

    • Hey are these two keys with no keyring? I lost them a while back so not sure if they will be the same!
    • Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian! 
    • For many years I went to Ken's on NXR.  He was pretty much the only barber  in ED  Now we have more barbers than you could shake a stick at - all the way down from the Plough through to DKH and some are empty of customers - even on the evenings and weekends.  I never ceased to be amazed that they continued to operate despite not having clients and realised that they were probably into money-laundering - just like the sweet shops along Oxford street. I went once to one on LL and certainly wasn't impressed with their. My dear wife has cut my hair ever since. I don't believe in supporting criminals.

    • People are more likely to go back and retrace their route rather than look on the EDF.  If you’re reluctant to and them on a fence or something, perhaps you could put a note with your phone number there
