and how many of you knew that Paul Hogan (Crockadile Dundee) started off as a copy of the Benny Hill show..the Paul Hogan show, Michael Crawford started off with 'some mothers do have em' and Brian Connely had a catch phrase 'It's a puppet' and his co star was Larry the loafer.
Billy Connelly was a Welder, then a folk singer, then a comic, and now a presenter.

- March 06, 2013, 11:25:34 AMI preferred the UK version of that one, actually. 90% of the shows on BBC1, BBC2 and STV back then were crap... went off about 10pm... but the other 10% were exceptionally good. Nowadays there are 400 channels of crap ... the exceptionally good ones don't seem to last.
There is/was one UK show... Life on Mars... I like the brit version, but didn't care much for the USA version.

I grew up watching that show in the U.S., so I'm here to tell ya, jack was straight.

Some British humour (humor?) doesn't travel across the pond..

- March 01, 2013, 12:50:14 PMMmmm, fatties. Er, I mean McDonalds.
Actually I treat my body kinda okay. I like to stay away from fast food and focus my "junk" intake on quality junk. Good beer, cigars, fresh baked goods and chocolate. Homemade type love. And it's never too late, enjoy. We'll be dead soon enough.

- February 28, 2013, 17:44:32 PMWhat!!!

I think you have more fatties than us but we are trying hard to catch up..
I guess I'd like to lose 40lbs but it's too late for me.

Although these days with obesity it is "Oops sorry love I thought you were in the club"
John.
We have the same problem here. They even have a TV show called "I didn't know I was pregnant". That's how many large, unknowingly-pregnant women we have here. . . . enough to make a TV show.
