plagued by Keeping Up Appearances
Just heard the theme tune to this bloody show and had to run out the room screaming.Why is it, no matter how outdated or just plain bad it is, the BBC insists on repeating tired sitcoms untill we know them all word-by-word. Its like the Carry on films, is there anyone on this blessed isle who can't re-create Carry on up the Khyber. Oh how we all laugh at the 'kilt lifting' scene. 'Look! They're not wearing any underpants! and they're flashing the Indians!' *BBC's controller's imaginary audience rolls about in the nearest aisle while the rest of us start trying to chew an escape tunnel in the carpet*
I think the nation will be in a better mental state when they stop showing repeats of all the shite we made decades ago. Its the cultural eqivilent of being shown snapshots from 10 years ago where you had a green snotty nose and pudding bowl hair cut and then being told you haven't changed a bit. If you've got to show repeats- at least let it be Monty Python, the young ones, Q. ANYTHING but this cliched unimaginative crap.
To add insult to injury, the Italian Job, one of the few masterpieces that British cinema has produced, is being remade by Hollywood with marky-fucking-wallberg. I think Im sharing amaterasu's disgust. My revenge tatic (as I told soupytwist) is to remake The Godfather with Jeremy Spake as Vito Corleone, Eddie Izzard as Micheal and Anne Robinson as Kay. mwahahahahhaa
In other news: I went bookshopping yesterday for my reading list. so far im 1/3 way through and have spent £100. I dont think my bank account will be able to cope with this. I also had to carry all the books all the way down to the pub for the Indie night. Expensive drinks, wasted my money on them, which might explain why I was so easily irratated by Ms Bucket this morning. I also now know where Im going to live next year, tis a converted victorian house Im sharing with 14 other people (Im not even going to think about how much thats costing me) Ive got a feeling its going to be the size of a gnats knackers, so sorry wench2002 its going to be a very cramped wardbrobe.
