So who watched it???


I was a class night

Did you know that in the west we spend enough money on food a week to feed the third world for a year?

I can help but feeling that we are being overcharged for our food


[The Prince of Wales is Present]

Did you know that enviromentalists say that an area the size of wales is destroyed a week, Why can't it ever be wales

There are loads more gags, anyone know of anymore cause the are all mering into one for me (or maybe )
The Outside is a evil place to be, too much light, too much noise and too many distractions....
I went outside once and my FPS rate dropped to 5.

I had it on in the background I thought it was pretty good. The Iranian guy was great I don't usually like him that much but I thought Will Young's new cover of "we Have All the Time in the Wrold" was really nice too.

PS Hey, anyone who's heard of Will Young and PopIdol (Teens from the UK then) Does anyone remember me from PopIdol? I was on the 4 London episodes - I stripped, handcuffed myself to the judges, and knocked up a snog count of 23 girls! PopIdol uncut on Sky had a fit! lol

I too had it on in background.

Liked 'men in coats' & ventriloquist guy.

'Stomp' guys and girls just annoyed me at how many times they appeared.

I love it when a plan comes together

I still have 2 huge assignments due before I can go home for Christmas, no fair!

Heaven doesn't want me, and hell is afraid I'll take over!

I wanted to watch SNL, but for some reason I was watching mad tv, and I hate the show... and can someone tell me what the hell the royal variety show is? Sounds like the British royalty running around in clown suits...

lol its like a variety performance (stage show with short skits from comedians, musicians, dancers etc.) the 'Royal' part just means Prince Charles was there watching it.

I agree with the comments about Stomp, they have always annoyed me. The only MORE annoying theatre group than Stomp is Cirque de 'f*cking' Soliel. Their BBC adverts are soooo grating by now.

Like I said I don't usually like Will Young, or Pop Music at all - I'm more a Rock / Punk / Hip-hop / Garage kinda guy but his live performance of that particular song blew me away. I actually stopped typing and listenned, which when I'm programming is saying something! lol

Sorry, I don't usually mind crap things, its just those guys have obviously spent years practicing being GOOD at being CRAP lol. Kinda like Stomp.

I think I was probably vaguely impressed when I first saw them, but they are waaayyy too over exposed over here :p

Cirque du Soleil RULES....

ALLEGRIA! lol

lol sorry didn't realise people liked them, never spoke to any 1 else who does! I agree they are the best at what they do, but like I said they are on TV every hour here (LITERALLY between programs on the BBC) and have been for about 6 months, and after 100 or so times its damned boring

lmao This is probably some kind of revenge from Quebec television j/k since when you subscribed to cable a few(10) years ago,they proposed that device called VideoWay which interacted with TV shows,like Jeopardy and even had a specialised channel on which there were actual actor playing roles in your games!

Unfortunately,every 2 days or so,for about 4 years,they broadcasted a multi-camera Peter Gabriel concert...

Nothing personal but LOL!

lol @ actarus

Re: i wanna goto a real circus

The Circuses I went to in the 80s had Lions and Tigers and Dancing elephants. Of course now thats illegal, so instead you get scary clowns and fit women in Lycra Nothing too exciting tho, and there are usually pickpockets and expensive hotdogs that give you stomach ache.
