Yea, but reading takes up too much time and energy. It's just so much easier to sit down with a tea and biscuits and watch 'The Young Ones'.

How did we get from Chris Rock to WW2 and the Americans vs the Brits?

True!:D I actually watch the American cable channel "The History Channel" and admit to being a buff on this sort of thing.

I think the American vs. Brit thing devolves from cultural differences. Having said that, I am a reluctant Anglophile! And Irishphile as well, which makes me a bit conflicted.

Yea, well, let's get back to comedians.

Heard of Peter Kay in America?

He's huge over here (plays the same venues as Queen are playing this year)

Erm...to get this, you have to know what the Big Issue is-don't know if you have it in the USA. Basically, it's a magazine that homeless people sell-and the money they make from selling the magazine, they can keep.

PETER-"Knock Knock"
AUDIENCE-"Who's There?"
PETER-"Bigish"
AUDIENCE-"Bigish Who?"
PETER-"Not today, thanks! That's a joke that, that's the first joke you will tell when you get home. Saw a Big Issue seller the other day, he said 'I love your Phoenix Nights (this was a TV programme that he wrote/starred in)', I said 'Where've you seen it? Window in Dixons? I'll have my pound back, you robbing bastard. I said 'Knock knock', he said 'Who's there?', I said 'I thought you were fucking homeless!!!'"
