I didn't know we'd met! (joke!)
The thread-title attracted me as I think Paul Merton is just ace.
That reminds me of the huge gamut of home make-over programmes, which I've found are also copied in their own language, or sold on as a franchise, to every European country too! I forget what comedy series it was, but a few weeks ago they did a great take-off of these terrible programmes which are just a cheap way to take up TV time. One take-off was called: "I Bought A House And I Did Something With It" - I thought it funny anyway, as that's all they boil down to. The other take-off was: "I Rented A Flat And Moved In."
Well I may as well have my own personal gripe, as I already mentioned it on Sunanda's thread about joining a gym:
Into Room 101 go all the imbeciles who think there's anything good about running a gym with pounding, incredibly loud and utter trite pop music. Who seconds this for 101?
