Ha ha fair enough, sorry it's an instant kneejerk reaction whenever I see his face. I will try and put my prejudice aside and actually watch the clip though I'll leave it until after I've stopped reeling from the Rooney video.

Listened to this in the way in this morning, very pleasant way of starting the day and have to say those two tracks were unexpected but extremely welcome. Almost enough to convince me to dig out my old Gerald albums.
B/w Better late than never, Jimster I am greatly feeling your mate's artwork, highly talented gentleman.
In other news, I see The Inbetweeners is back tonight, although my lack of any sense of humour has been confirmed by the Hicks thread, I found the other series had moments of inspiration in them so will be checking and hoping it fills the gap until the return of Peep Show. Anyone else ride a bit?
I also checked out that first episode of This Is England 86, being a big fan of the original film. Without the skinhead aspect the whole thing felt a bit too standard grim up north but we make do with laughter and tears style channel 4 drama.
I remember it like it was only yesterday, and it was a shit year for me. A few choice snapshots from the memory bank:
Painting my mate's Vauxhall Viva with black hammerite. The car was originally cream but someone had drawn a big penis on the boot in permanent marker so what started as a black boot and bonnet ended up looking like the kind of thing The Punisher would drive.
If The Punisher only had ??250.
Getting drunk in the 6th form common room and having a Christmas Card eating competition. Then vomiting for the rest of the day.
Getting drunk and deciding to walk a prospective girlfriend home from a party, during which the effects of the fresh air made me even drunker and unable to speak or walk by about halfway home.
I assume she made it.
Getting drunk at a NYE party and going to the chip shop with a mate for a massive order for about 20 people. Returning back without the food or the money or any recollection of the last 30 minutes other than jumping across walls. We staggered back to the chippy but it was shut.
Getting dumped every month, seemingly.
Getting my first job and it was shit.
Getting my hand pulled into a baboon cage at Southport Zoo when you could feed the animals.
For me 86 marked the first WC that I properly took in, heightened by my uncles and their friends kindly offering me a pick in the winners sweepstake. I picked out Argentina and could clearly be heard cheering when Maradona netted his second against England as a room full of burly men showed enormous restraint and understanding by not ripping my arms off. I think a deal done over my winnings at the end of the tournament was done by my dad as a peace offering but I still had enough to pick up Ultra Magnus from Woolworths without even having to save up or wait for xmas/birthdays. Good times.
I remember Craig, this Scottish nutter who lived on the back of our estate. He'd managed to put a working (colour) telly and Blackpool-Lights-esque disco headlining/stereo into his Capri. The day he got it all working, he informed us that his car was now [in heavy Glaswegian accent]... "Like Ul-trae Fuuuuu-hin' Maaaaagnissss in theyar!"
I really liked the first season of Inbetweeners but I've found it a little hit and miss since. My enjoyment of it was sullied somewhat when I shared my appreciation of it with a friend, who's initial reaction was to turn his nose up, although he was mildly won over by the end of an episode. I thought maybe it was just my love of the puerile surfacing once more. The subsequent accolades it's garnered say otherwise and the fact that 'Simon' is in fact an Oxbridge educated comic actor and not just an oik playing a version of themselves, gives it a little more substance.
I had hopes for Simon Amstell's sitcom, but it's been pretty meh.

86 - Can't remember much to be honest. I remember watching the WC and standing on a bench singing 'We've Got the Whole World at our Feet' at some point, but that about it.

Yeah I didn't watch it when it was on and ended up watching both series on 4oD over the space of about three days. Seemed to work well in that format as the bits that fell flat were quickly forgotten about in the overall scheme of things. I recorded the first episode last night (early arrival of Halo:Reach related) and may end up just saving them all up again to watch in one burst. I find Will almost insufferably punchable but I guess that's half the point.
I didn't both with Amstell's sitcom due to the premise laid out in the papers but would have liked it to be funny as I still have a soft spot in my heart for him from Popworld days.
At the risk of turning this thread in to 'tv highlights of the week'..
I noticed, on Saturday, amongst the profusion of documentaries about 9/11, Channel 5 also managed to squeeze in a screening of Gremlins II - The New Batch. Which is essentially a training film on how to take over and terrorize a New York skyscraper.
Don't believe me? Well just check out the opening credits!!

One of my boys has put this together. Whilst I wouldn't claim to be any kind of authority on dubstep myself, my boy most assuredly knows his onions and has put me up on all manner of good swag, so it's possible some of you may enjoy this.

kay burley: so you are in a position to have listened to the debate and have read the report and as a result you are content to say that on telly.
bryant: i have just said it. you seem to be a bit dim, if you don't mind me saying so
He missed the opportunity to add "Unfortunately".

Fantastic. Absolutely love these.
Hatton: I FUCKING LOVE COCAINE!
Rooney: You call the dealer, I'll call the escort agency!
Giggs arrived in a Cavalier, Scholes in a Sierra & Rooney came in an Escort.
I never understood this relationship.
The Hitman : Manc, CTID
Wazza: Scouse, Mune for money
Maybe they met at a spit roast? "Change ends at half time eh Wayne?"
