Burnt pans and literary confusion.

[ceilidh_ann]

Why are scrambled eggs classified as a simple food? Give me a pan, some eggs and oil and I'll single-handedly prove to you that nothing is simple in the culinary world. I bought some eggs because I fancied something simple (ha!) and tasty. I got the instructions all ready off the internet (therein lies the problem!) and began. One burnt pan later

It seems a little strange that people would be upset with Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand yet vote Frankie Boyle tenth favorite.

Seriously? Jo Brand and Jimmy Carr and Paul Merton? The people who took this poll need their heads examine.

(All right, so I'm a bad internet friend - I can never think of anything to say in response to when you post about your life but I can definitely be bothered to complain about comedy things. *frowns at self*)

Hey, no problem! I'm surprised people haven't told me to shut up about my personal life, as exciting as it is! :D
I love Frankie Boyle because he pisses off so many people and gets away with it - most of the time. :D

[reasonablysunny]

I always mean to comment because it is cool to get to know people and you seem really cool, but whenever I start to write something I feel creepy, like I am stalking you, which would be very difficult since I'm on a different continent.

Yeah--has Frankie ever gotten into trouble over his stuff before? I've never heard of it happening?

[ceilidh_ann]

Hehe thanks. You can ask me whatever you like if you want, I don't mind. I get a bit worried when I comment on others too, when you type something it doesn't read right sometimes.
The Daily Mail (of course it's them) complained about Frankie after he made this joke.

I thought it was hilarious, just what you'd expect him to say! :D

[sess_satan]

That list is ALL wrong!
You're right, Peter Kay isn't that funny. Neither is Catherine Tate. The Ross/Brand thing HAS been spun out of proportion (there are WAY more important things in the world to be worrying about). Jimmy Carr 6th least favourite????? FUCK OFF!

Grrr. *steams*

I loved Catherine Tate in Doctor Who, she was a brilliant assistant, but I'm just not a fan of her show. Jimmy Carr is a one liner king, how can you hate a man with hair like that? Having Merton up there is going to annoy a lot of HIGNFY fans, myself included. How dare they! At least Gervais was up there too, can't stand him!

[sess_satan]

I was a bit annoyed at Ricky Gervais being up there. I know he's irritating, but he is funny. Then again, I'm not surprised he's up there - a lot of people jump on the I-hate-Gervais bandwagon without actually looking at his full repetoire.

I can't believe Paul is up there. That's so bizarre I'm not even going to start a rant about it. They were obviously drunk, stoned and had some sort of weird bet going. *nod*

Gervais isn't that popular up here, might have something to do with the Scottish sense of humour revolving around swearing in a funny accent and sex jokes. We're good that way! I just don't think he's funny, not my bag at all. I got into an argument with an American friend over whether or not he was funny, don't know who won though. :D
Stupid voters, must be Kay's PR team or something, he's releasing yet another bloody novelty single. *grr*

Actually, the fact that there has been such a backlash against JR and RB has given me back faith in the British public. And I disagree that JR + RB are less accountable then the broadcasters. All involved are equally guilty of complete misjudgement. And I, for one, believe that apologies that are made solely to appease public opinion are superficial and worthless.

[ceilidh_ann]

My main problem with the backlash is that only 2 people complained when the thing was broadcasted, but the moment that the Daily Mail covered the story with their usual tactics, there was an outcry. I can't help but think it stinks of hypocrisy and it was just Daily Mail's way of getting back at the BBC who they have openly criticised many times. I do think JR is hideously overpaid though.
Hope things are good in your corner of the globe. You going home for Xmas? :) (Great icon. We joke about that film being a historical document in Gaelic!)

[jackks]

Surely, motives of Daily Mail aside (they're a business, they have nothing personal against the BBC, they just want to sell as many papers as possible) it is better that there was public outcry i.e. public projecting the fact that harrasing [Manuel] through answer phone messages is not acceptable. In the end, it's just below the belt and downright nasty. Rather then the public thinking "Ah, well, it's Johnathan Ross, the rules of being a decent human being don't apply to him

[jackks]

And yes, I'm going home for two weeks on the 20th December and I am so excited to be home for Christams! Access to Sky Movies, my Mum's cooking and my little brother/sister's zany company are things I've been missing sooooo much. Plus, I'm planning a get-together with my English school mates that should rock :D

[negativefish]

The trio of Jo Brand/Jimmy Carr/Paul Merton in that bottom list makes me sad, very sad indeed. :(
