A sequence of commentary to a recent post (which has now wandered off into rat-fetish soap opera. Thankfully I don't watch anything like enough telly for it to make sense) reminded me that many things that are clearly considered funny by the majority, are in fact deeply depressing

Last of the Summer Wine is the nearest thing to a sense of aspiration I have ever had, having watched it aged about 8 and had a strong sense of "I have no idea what path I want to take through life, BUT NOT THAT". For me therefore it`s pretty much the piece de resistance of destroyed soul made manifest.

Exactly so.

The equivalent for me is Bridget Jones or anything of that sort.

ironically, the only response I`ve ever had to Bridget Jones is wanting to have a go on Renee Zellweger. Balance in The Universe would be perpetuated if it turned out that you fancied a go on Compo or something.

I'm going to go take some mind altering substances to get that image out of my mind! (actually, a) it's time for the Big People's Painkillers anyway, and b)I've never actually seen Last of the Summer Wine. But I've heard about it).

[markeris]

what are these big peoples painkillers of which you speak?

[markeris]

actually, I possibly know the answer to that, and it was terribly gauche of me, if not downright out of order, to ask. Mea Culpa. Sorry.

No problem. I have chronic pain problems, and my dosage was just upped, quite a bit, and if you can't make a joke about your prescription drugs, what can you joke about?
