I didn't know that. Andrew O'Connor (who is his son I believe) is the Producer.

D'oh!

I got the two mixed up. Andrew is the guy who put the money up for Peep Show, and (to my knowledge) is not related.

And for my next trick, I'll say how non-*****phile (and **** The Mail for trying to make out that he was) John Peel's older sister was in The Avengers...

I hope you are right about JP. That suggestion knocked me sideways, would never have believed that was true.

Most of the stuff in the article - i.e. him running Schoolgirl of the Year competitions - was not just untrue, their main source was a hatchet article in the Grauniad by Julie Burchill, who always was a gobshite who needed with a history of printing wrong or libelous stories and being sacked shortly afterwards.

There's a full account here: http://louderthanwar.com/one-half-rhinoceroses-a-defence-john-peel-daily-mail-and-others/

Why are they moot points, Rev? If he shouldn't have been on the pitch or Coates should've been penalised for climbing, then how can you claim that the goal should've stood?

Because he was on the pitch, and Coates wasn't penalised.

The sole reason for the goal being disallowed was wrong.

Oh and by the way, if we all chip in I'm sure we could get Bishop off TV. Dislike those bland, Michael McIntyre comedians.

Cannot stand her <grr>
 
Dirty Suarez should not have been on the pitch to score the (correctly) disallowed goal, Coates blatantly fouled the Everton defender when heading the ball to Suarez and the free kick which led to this chance was incorrectly awarded for a non existent foul on Gerrard.

Thats 3 reasons why Dirty Suarez`s goal was correctly disallowed.

Congratulations on completely missing the point <doh>
 
As part of a mini-poll, can the visiting Mousers tell me which of those Scouse comic icons they find the funniest?


Tom O'Connor
Jimmy Tarbuck
John Bishop
Joey Boswell (scrounging ne'er do well, off Bread)
Alexis Sayle
The Bloke With The Curly Black Hair (played by Harry Enfield)


I believe I've listed all the main ones, but my apologies if I've left anyone off.

Jamie Carragher..... he`s a comedian these days (some would say always has been) :grin:
 
It's probably no coincidence that Scouse comedy had its hey-day in the 70s and 80s.

Comedy in general ran out of steam by the mid-90s.

Look at the top stand-up of the late 80s/early 90s and compare them to the current crop. The best stand-ups on the circuit these days are the guys who came up in the 90s (Billy Bailey, Jack Dee, Eddie Izzard) and, barring Stephen K Amos and Rhod Gilbert, the current crop are either hopelessly unfunny or utterly obnoxious.
