i would rep you both if i could.

this season of black books was a bit down on the rest but it was still better than whatever was on tv.

my favourite bit:

'manny, manny, what time is it?'
'it's half-ten'
'half-ten? ive never been up at this time. what happens?'

Oh im sorry but the third season is GOLD! I thought it would die on its ass after Goliath Books was opened but the crazy manager with his crazy hair cutting is just hilarious! And the one where they go to the party so manny can get laid? Classic!

although nothing beats "its like looking into the eye of a duck... then sucking all the fluid from its beak!"

one of the best comedy series to come out of the UK. I have the entire series, and love every second of it. I use a random episode as a 22 minute study break.

If you like Black Books, check out Bill Bailey (Manny)'s stand up. He's a ridiculously funny dude who has the musical pedigree to be able to play over a dozen instruments, VERY well, on stage, whilst being funny.

It's stupid and boring. The only thing it had going for it was the cleese/manwell abusive relationship it stole from Faulty Towers

"They'd all laugh at me if they knew what I was trying to do... to create a new strain of super-wine in a half an hour with a fraction of nature's resources and a FOOL for an assistant. "Bernard Black, he's mad," they'd say. "He's insane. He's dangerous." Well I'll show them! I'll show them all!"

Customer: [Pointing to a shelf] Those books, how much?
Bernard: Hmm?
Customer: Those books. Leather bound ones.
Bernard: Yes, Dickens. The collective works of Charles Dickens.
Customer: They real leather?
Bernard: They're real Dickens.
Customer: I have to know if they're real leather because they have to go with a sofa. Everything else in my house is real. I'll give you two hundred for them.
Bernard: Two hundred what?
Customer: Two hundred pounds.
Bernard: Are they leather bound pounds?
Customer: No.
Bernard: Sorry, I need leather-bound pounds to go with my wallet. Next!
Lundy introduced me to it; it's an excellent show! Pity they only made three seasons.

I love the heat episode with Daves Disease...

Look at that girl, it looks like she washes her hair in streams and milks things!

And in the autumn, i'll ditch her! cos she's my summer girl :rolleyes:

I'm yours... to enjoy... like an eclair, or a day at the zoo
