Today I'm angry about.....

[thebish]

R4 is churning out some utter, utter shoite in its 6;30pm comedy slot...

witness

Count Arthur Strong's Radio Show
Andrew Lawrence: How Did We End Up Like This?

both of them toe-curlingly shoite...

Count Arthur Strong's Radio Show is embarrassingly bad. Haven't heard the latter though. Caught the tail end of something that Jack Dee was hosting earlier on in the week which was absolutely piss funny (or at least the tail end of it was anyway). Any idea what it was called, Bish?

That would probably be I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue (or ISIHAC - as fans call it) - legendary long-running proper radio 4 comedy - used to be hosted by Humphrey Lyttleton who was just fantastic - stuttered for a while when he died a couple of years ago - with several failed attempts at replacing Humph - and then settled on Jack dee who is the PERFECT replacement... it has had dozens of series over many years...

Oh blimey. I think I've spent years mistaking Humphrey Lyttleton for Nicholas Parsons then

Ah. Of course. My apologies. I just make sure I've got R4 on when I'm in the car at 18:30. And have recently found that his Arthur Strong business is utterly shite!

[thebish]

the old staples are still around -

Just a Minute (can be funny depending on the participants - Merton is very funny on this!)
The News Quiz (now with Sandi Toksvig - who I like - and has revamped the partipants a bit lately)
ISIHAC

and i guess you have to try a lot before you hit gold - but how it can have taken them so long and STILL not realised that Count Arthur Strong is simply a bag of wank - I don't know!

couple of more recent R4 comedy attempts that ARE worth listening to (IMHO):

Fags, Mags and Bags

Bleak Expectations

(both now on about series 4)

That Caitlin Moron woman. In the Times she was banging on about the women bishops thing under a headline that said something along the lines of "bitchy boys should say sorry" in which she implied it was some all male conspiracy against all women. This on the same page in which a more balanced report included the facts that the majority of the laity did vote for it (just not two thirds of them) and that there were women members of the laity who voted against. I fxcking hate women who lash out at men - keep your sexist comments to yourself, bitch.

there are LOTS of anti-women bishop activists in the CofE.. in fact - of the three "houses" that voted (Bishops, Clergy and Laity) they voted progressively LESS in favour of the change the MORE women were present...

Yup, and then you get a woman 'journalist' (if I can use that term in connection with Moran) blaming men - and not just some men, not a faction of men, not even generic men, but actually blaming all men.

Tony Baldry, MP and “the second church estates commissioner” is the official link between the C of E and parliament. He is demanding the C of E changes its mind about women bishops, and fast.

Tony is also a member of the Garrick Club which does not allow female members, but apparently has very nice ties. So, women bishops yes, but keep them out of the Garrick Club.

Some of this might be my fault, being as I'm a bloke I'm obviously biased against women. Tony's obviously a woman if she's demanding women bishops. She's infiltrated the Garrick Club purely to embarrass them, and is doing a splendid job of it.

The you'd better hope bish's facts are correct or else it is you who will be held up as a plonker by all the Times readership (all seven of them).

Firstly, it probably won't get published.
Secondly, facts take second place to emotion in a good rant.
Thirdly, I'll send all seven a link to the TW and increase our 'readership'

They didn't publish it. On a good note - I therefore haven't plagiarised theBish. Ha.

I admit to thinking "I bet there's more tl it than this".

It seems, however, there isn't. Just blind bigotry from some small minded people. Thhe Head of Children's Services for the Council has come out & defended her position. Good going for something which is indefensible.

Done in the week that there's a by-election in the town. Not that Labour won't win in Rotherham, but it's not clever.

You wouldn't had you heard the stupid bint that made the final decision being interviewed on the wireless yesterday.
