I think I watched the first hour or so at a mates house, went out and then watched the evening bit at home. It's easy to be cynical about it now but at the time it did feel quite exciting and as though something really big was about to happen. Still, i was a naive 15 year old at the time and not a bitter and twiseted 44 year old who has failed abjectly in life and sees nothing but the worst in people and judges them by his own low standards.

Most of them survive on one bowl of rice a day whereas fat bastards like Pud and your wife eat, on average, two breakfasts, a lunch consisting of three sausage rolls and two bags of crisps, a dinner from the local Chinese and roughly 23 chocolate bars as snacks. That's yer problem right there you see. Kill all the fat people and there would be plenty of food to go round.
