    I used to really enjoy Michael McIntyre but have gone off him now. I'm sure it must bother him! :heehee:

    Mrs Shiney enjoyed his latest series (thankfully finished now :whistle:) but I find his constant shouting, something that seems so much more common with comperes nowadays, drives me out of the room.

    With standup performances he, like a lot of others, now seems unable to tell a joke without swearing. A pity, as he was so good originally.

    I suppose I'm just an out of touch grumpy old git!

        Tell me when have I ever been so impolite to you, in the first instance?

        Such poor board etiquette, why can't you play nice?

        It also amuses me that some people on message boards like to have a pop at someone, throw teddy out of the cot if they come back at them. then accuse them of "wanting the last word."

        It a strange world.

        For me, he always seems to think he is funny, the way he looks at the audience with that silly look on his face. It seems to me that he is his biggest fan.

        :coughs:

        Anyway, isn' t it a shame that Windsor Davies has passed away? Such a talented actor, and clearly dedicated to his wife.

        C'mon folks, its Sunday, its my weekend off......... walk away from the keyboards and make a cuppa, eh?

            I feel we have lost to very two great actors in June Whitfield and Windsor Davies now. People that I have loved listening to and watching over the years have left us, as happens.. So we move on but there are not new people coming to take their places anymore as life has changed so much now I think and as we have said comedy has changed along with it.. I feel it is something to do with age perhaps.! :old::loll::loll:
