    Whoever said Monty python. Watched About 10 mins off it when he meets the black Knight. I had to switch it off. Just didn't find it funny

    Tolkein was a genius IMHO ... JK Rowling for one was heavily influenced ... lots of parallels ... and yes his writing was right up my alley ... particularly at the age I read it. <ok>

    I read it when I was 14 say pretty young. Marathoned through it but I must say I probably forgot half of it as half the book is just talking about how green the grass it or how blue the sky is

    Was the sign of the times

    As I say off stage he was sound

    His audience had some dregs who dont know the difference between a guy telling jokes (albeit now racist and homophobic etc ). Off stage I reckon chubbs would be happier coming for a curry with me than some prick who thought his jokes were "real"

    The black comics were doing similar and they annoyed me tbh

    Not played it but heard good things. A more tactical version of farcry basically.

    Supposed to be decent enough <ok>
