Monday Pick Me Up: Two pints of heavy for the Scotsmen in Rome

I’ve been a bit nostalgic, comedy-wise, on YouTube recently, and have been looking up all of the sketches that I haven’t heard for a while. From Monty Python to George Carlin, I’ve been chuckling away to all of my comedy heroes. It doesn’t get much better than an irate John Cleese, but it is one sketch that had forgotten existed, from the marvelous Billy Connolly, that I just had to share. The two Scotsmen in Rome has been etched in my mind for years, I couldn’t remember every detail but I knew that I howled with laughter whenever I listen to it. I also happened upon the Jobbie Weecha, two words: comic. gold.

Saturday Pot Luck: Miriam Margolyes should be on TV every day

Today has been a lazy sort of Saturday, and in the absence of any decent weekend television I have had quite a lengthy YouTube session almost entirely made up of clips from The Graham Norton Show. I remember watching him in the V and So days, turning the volume right down and straining to hear both the TV and for any sign that i was about to be caught up way past my bedtime. I have always loved his quick and slightly cruel humour, but it has been through him that I have been introduced to the comic enigma – Miriam Margolyes. She is so refreshingly without a filter, her comic timing and frequent risque topics of conversation have left me utterly helpless with laughter. So I am requiring anyone who reads this post to watch the three videos below, so that more people may know of her brilliance. This way, we might be able to get her back on GNS a few more times, so that we may hear a few more of her salacious anecdotes.

Fame On A Friday: Movie Trailer Bonanza!

This week has been a tad quite in the world of fame, but I have been watching a lot of trailers for highly anticipated films coming up in the next few years. Quite fittingly, the three below mirror my life quite nicely – Men in Black was a childhood favourite, American Pie was influential to my generation during my teenage years, and Despicable Me has become a recent favourite among my friends and I, oft quoted and giggled at. Needless to say I’m quite excited about my future cinema prospects.

Enjoy.
