The likes of Morecambe and Wise travelled the length and breadth of the UK for years performing in Music Halls serving their "apprenticeship" to hone their act before they got anywhere near being "stars" or "celebrities". Today some brain dead "reality" show contestants literally become "stars" and "celebrities" overnight because other brain dead viewers send a text message to vote for them. For instance what is Stacey Solomon supposed to be? She is definitely not pretty, seems to be unintelligent, and as far as I can see does not act, sing or dance. Some females used to make a career from being "pretty", Ms. Solomon hasn't even got that "quality".

Couple of comedic legends MnW, Ant and Dec try to be them but they couldn't lace their boots. Eric Morecombe mentioned Roker and Sunderland in a Christmas special in the 70s. I could never get away with Lee Evans because he was just ripping off Norman Wisdom. Evans was all the rage when i was in the first year comp but I was brought up on tapes of Norman Wisdom, Marx beothers ect so I always found the "newer bunch" unfunny. I love Bill Hicks and George Carlin, Connolly etc

Careful now, you’re starting to sound a little antisemitic.

If irritating is funny he was a comic genius ...

... the epitome of a one joke comedian and absolutely hated in Albania.

I have no idea what religion she is, couldn't give a toss whatever it may be, and as far as I know she does not present religious programming. I judge her as a person not a member of any particular faith she may or may not have. Are you one of these people that is "offended" on other people's behalf. I take it that you assume she is Jewish? How did you come to that conclusion?

I agree with Stephen Fry. God has created this mess. There’s nothing to thank him for.

It's not rock & roll is it ...

... there has to be an edge for there to be excitement.

How humiliating it is for the lads on security ...

... 'First aid to Bar 2, Pina Colada umbrella in the eye' <doh>

70's and 80's disco I believe, missed the beginning of the article, but there seemed to be a lot of lost souls... and something dark going on in Nottingham?
