Yes. Still procrastinating.
This article may be one of the slashiest pieces I have ever read. It almost makes me believe in True Love and RPS.
Julian Barratt:
When I did stand-up, Noel used to come to my gigs. I didn't really know who he was, but I used to see him there with his funny haircut [...] We drove to his house afterwards and he said that I could come in but I'd never be allowed to leave. I told him that was all right.
Like any relationship we usually argue about silly things. I'm a bit like a dad, while Noel's like the wife - a bit ditsy [...] I mean, I probably see Noel more than anyone. He even creeps into my dreams - his pointy little face haunts me in my sleep. Am I ever going to be safe?
Noel Fielding:
When we were nominated for the Perrier Award, it was so stressful. We knew we had to do a good gig, and we had a fight because I washed one of Julian's white shirts with colours. He said I didn't even know how to wash and I said I didn't see him washing anything. We were fighting over shirts.
If anyone starts on me he really goes mad. He had to put up with me being quite ill for a year, which meant I couldn't drink alcohol. We were on tour and another comedian got annoyed because I wouldn't have a drink, so when he was on stage he slagged me off. Julian went mad. I thought he was going to hit someone. I like that about him. If anyone says anything about him when he's not there, I find it really offensive. He's quite protective; I think I'm the same.

And of course there's this week's NME (Nov, 20th, 2007) in which Russell Brand uses the word "homosexyness". Seriously.
Russell Brand: Is Old Gregg [a character played by Noel wanting to marry Howard played by Julian] a symbol of the inherent homosexyness in the relationship between Julian and Noel?
Julian Barratt: I suppose there is a level of homosexual tension between us. We've never really explored it in life, but it's always there like an elephant in the room - we daren't mention it. We do have a moment in the new series where we tried it out, so we'll see how that works. We confronted that idea in the series, but we were worried it might neutralise some kind of engine that was powering it. Like when you're watching a film and they eventually kiss.
