And if that wasn't bad enough he wrote the vicar of dibly for about 10 years.</p></blockquote>

Vicar of Dibly was funny I thought -

<p>Watched Catching Fire at the flicks with the mrs, very enjoyable a bit darker then the first Hunger Games tho without the kids killing kids thing<br><br>
Oh and Jennifer Lawrence obviously doesn't get her gear of but is still farken hot ( hope the mrs didn't mind me thinking of her later that night)</p>

You're obviously a fair bit more tolerant than me, mrs Jegga reckons I'm slowly turning into Red from that 70s show. Dawn French mugging at the camera is wasted on me as was Bridget jones diary , love actually and anything with Rhys Darby in it and I find mr bean excruciating. Maybe she's right. -
<p>I dont really go for anything that has Hugh Grant in it...so ticks off most on your list too!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BTW, just found out he has 2 middle names, one of which is Mungo, maybe I have mis-judged him, surely anyone with the name MUngo must be awesome!?</p> -

<p>Do you watch the middle ? The parents named their son Brick in the vain hope he might turn out be cool, maybe his parents thought along the same lines? I think Nepia actually met him so maybe he can confirm whether or not he's a stuttering twat with a face you'd never get tired of punching in person?</p> -

<p>He's not a stuttering twat in person ... he <u>was with</u> Liz Hurley at the time. </p>

<p>As for Curtis' output I like a bunch of it - Four Weddings and a Funeral is a good movie the others are less good but watchable (Bridget Jones excepted) and Vicar of Dibly is quite funny. Plus, anything he has done it better than The Time Travellers Wife IMHO (the fact I have seen it shows you I'll watch anything once - to my eternal regret on occasion) and Love Actually had some decent totty in it. And he did Blackadder ....</p> -

Should tip you over the edge. <br />

I mean, it's like there's any decent comedians/comediennes in england so why not throw the fat completely unfunny bird a comedy award and every other show. -

I really, truly just don't understand what's funny. She's fucking won awards too, atrocious.</p></blockquote>

I thought it wason a par with the awfulness of the vicar of Dibly but it looks like I'm alone on that. I wonder if she's really funny as a stage comedian though and like a lot of them when they get their own show it's a pile of crap? -

<p>I like Miranda, it's a show I'd never watch without someone in the room watching it, but I laugh every time I see it ... I find her a hell of a lot funnier than any of the plebs on 7 Days. I'm obviously a lot more tolerant than Jegga.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TBF, I like most things, aside from the aforementioned 7 Days, Daniel Day Lewis after The Boxer, and Radiohead.</p> -

I'm a fan of U.K/Irish comedies but 2 shows I don't get the fuss over is Miranda and Mrs Browns Boys.<br />
Both are shit IMHO -
