BRIAN: Look. You've got it all wrong. You don't need to follow me. You don't need to follow anybody! You've got to think for yourselves. You're all individuals!
FOLLOWERS: Yes, we're all individuals!
BRIAN: You're all different!
FOLLOWERS: Yes, we are all different!
LONE MAN: I'm not.
FOLLOWERS: Shh. Shhhh. Shhh.

One of my favourite bits.

Thanks for the reminder of that one, Budge.

I was going to put up a Pete & Dud, but given the current interest in the Covid narrative...

Ivan get your lazy ass off the sofa and take out the garbage!
No! I can't!
What? Why can't you?
Natasha, I have to rest.
Why do you have to rest?!
There might be war tomorrow woman!

Dud & Pete this week.

My favourite line is "Yes, well I wrote a letter".

Absurd of course, but like much good comedy, it contains an underlying truth.
The truth on this one is near the end when Dud asks Pete if he has learned
from his mistakes.

Enjoy.

It used to be wine, women, and song. Then came sex, drugs, and rock'n roll.

English chap arrives in the Australian outback to take over a ranch. There's no-one around for miles in any direction. After a couple of days a burly Aussie bloke drives up on a pickup.

"G'day stranger, gonna invite you to a party! It's gonna be massive. There's gonna be a barbie, loads of tinnies, sex, drugs & rock'n'roll".

"Wow", says the English chap, "Sex, drugs & rock'n'roll in the outback? Count me in! I'm dreadfully sorry, I don't have anything to bring."



"No worries mate, it's only the two of us".

"The Long Johns"

John Bird & John Fortune, not that well known outside the UK. They
used to be on a show with Rory Bremner, an impressionist.

The clip below not only explains the subprime crisis, but
also market sentiment.

Enjoy.

This section should be renamed. Some of it is less "light entertainment", as "pretty damned heavy entertainment"!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and good health.

It seems that the end has always been nigh if you choose to see things that way.

Observed from a different angle, the end leads to the beginning of a new trend as in new times, From ashes, the Phoneix rises. So one could say it is the end of the old and the beginning of the new, but most are not ready to embrace the new so for them it's total destruction
