I saw the repeat last night. My mate said to watch it but I thought 'nah'. It was good though. When she broke down at the end and the guy was in the loo!
The dig at the Alchemist was funny.

i dont, but i saw a snippet of that bloke who used to play 'egg' in 'this life'(i used to love that at uni-fantastic programme) and i found his character to be a bit of a smug bastard...would that be a fair summary?

It would Ken. I fuckin hated that cunt. He does loads of voice-overs (like that other cunt John Simm) and I wince everytime I hear his voice.
My girlfriend watches Teachers and its shit. Sorry Ray. I prefer your show.

Well yeah, but thats his role...he's mainly in a 'taking the piss' attitude. The black guy and the pe teachers are the funniest, they are like teachers I know
And yes, this life was excellent!

Yeah, it's brilliant. My dad reckons it's proof the BBC *can* still make good TV.
After watching last week and looking for our copy of Lolita I found "Ada or Ardor" by Nabokov which is now one of my favourite books. Really good story about incest, brilliantly written and in 4 languages. Wild.

Was that the original version that went on to become rewritten as Lolita? Lolita is a great book and I got lots of funny looks last year when I read it in public. This country is so uptight and rightly deserves to be ridiculed by Chris Morris.

Ada or Ardor was written after he was kicked out of Commie Russia for writing Lolita. There are references to the Lolita fiasco in it, like the place in Texas, America called "Lolita" that changed it's name after the infamous book came out.
My dad's a big fan of Nobokov and he reckons Ada or Ardor is his best work. I'll definately give Lolita a go once I've finished this though...
As to reading "obscene" books in public, I used to read Henry Miller on the bus to school, that turned som heads :)

Did he write the Tropic of Cancer? Is his tuff a bit explicit then?
The fact that you were reading was probably what turned heads.

Well done Ceri. You have mad a major contribution to adult literacy in Barry. There must be at least 5 people who can read there in now.
Sorry mate, I went to school there and like to have my petty little dig.
