MonkeyLibFront posted:Well it kind of is though he ain't a journalist and along with the larger body of the BBC union agreeing to the change it's not as clear cut. So are assetco's workers not scabs then? There's no excuse for crossing a picket line regardless of who employs you, the point is that you're reducing the bargaining power of the workers, not that you're defying the organisation doing the bargaining.

Ha what the gently caress Eastenders writers, another old man blackmailing a woman into sex in a creepy as gently caress way (this is like the 8th one in about 3 years) and some fun Eastern Europe kidnapping plans too.

Maybe it's because it wasn't the usual set of wankers where I'm used to their particular kinds of arsiness, but was The Review Show last night a stealth parody? The hand movements, the insipid "insights".... there was a fat monologueist sat where there are normaly two guests... surely a piss-take?Akuma posted:I wasn't in the union Here was your first mistake.

I watch it most weeks but I really shouldn't, it's not good for my health. I don't think the programme has ever managed to go longer than a few minutes without descending into four people talking over and interrupting each other. It's very rare that they have a guest on there with any sense of humility, the arrogance and "look what I know!" is maddening. Plus it also frequently reminds me of the existence of the insufferable arse that is Paul Morley, which is never good.

David Attenborough's new documentary is out on Iplayer- 'First Life'. Basically describes..well, the first life on Earth. I'm assuming there'll be a lot on the Cambrian period and such. But yes, I love David.   http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00vspkd/David_Attenboroughs_First_Life_Arrival/ Edit: Bad side- it's not in HD.

Well he is indestructible. Akuma posted:Have you ever been in that situation? I have, I wasn't in the union, and I had to eat and pay the bills. But nah it's clear cut who the gently caress needs to make a living eh? End Of. Yes and stealing bread to feed your family is the correct thing to do as well but theft is still immoral, and remaining honest when surrounded by crooks is still noble.

The only thing I remember about Captain Scarlet is that 13 strikes of Big Ben thing. It must have made a deep impression on a lot of us for some reason.

Rapey Joe Stalin posted:What, not even "I disagree with the position that these workers and /or their union are taking ? Well as I've made a theft analogy I'm tempted to make a self-defense one, but the objections are both good so I'll amend my position: scabbing is an act of economic and political violence against a union's members and their families, it can never be a morally neutral act (except in the sense that the good and bad in it may sum to zero).

Armstrong and Miller is loving brilliant and it's a million times better than that Mitchell and Webb shite you all seem to put up with. I'm actually amazed that it's on primetime BBC1, given how filthy some of it is. The sketch they did with the teacher getting pilled up in a club and running into his pupils was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Bishy posted:I loved the Bond/Neeson bit in The Trip tonight. I think some of the impressions are okay, but they really need to exercise some self-restraint. Both episodes now have followed the not particularly exciting formula of: drive to restaurant, sit in restaurant, eat the food, make mildly funny jokes, do LOTS of impressions, Steve Coogan has a depressing phone call, end. I dunno, it either feels like it needs to be a bit longer, to establish a sense of the 'trip' in question (brief shots of them driving through northern countryside at the beginning don't count), or it needs to be snappier and less self-indulgent. It's definitely watchable, but hardly mesmeric.

quote:The brothers are from Maltby,Rotherham. In April 2007, while on holiday on the Greek island of Kefalonia, Paul broke his nose and received cuts and bruises when he lost control of his motorbike after suddenly braking to avoid a shepherd and his flock of goats. British tourists who stopped at the accident, instead of helping him out, shouted out the Chuckle Brothers' catchphrase: "To me, to you." Brilliant.
