I take it you`re watching his show on C4?
Thank f*** it`s on.
Brilliant.

CB is a god to me = he and PG Wodehouse (how very different they are) are the only two writers that can make me laugh out loud
I read it in the bath and gurgle away like the plug does

very few things make me LOL - YBF; Chris Morris; Curb and Chris Rock are notable exceptions to that though

Have you read dawn of the dumb? its brilliant - also if you havent ever read it search for TVGOHOME on de interweb and in particular the `c***` listings - they were the genesis of the nathan barley TV show

I used to have the book but lost it - its rare as worm condoms these days

gutted

YHBW is vee good.

If you follow his twitter feed he often asks for input so something you contribute may actually end up on the show. Or he might just take the p1ss out of you.

BUT he is just starting to end up a tiny bit of a cariacature of himself (or it could just be that I`ve had a `sardonic wit` overload due to too much twitter)

Go away.

Chris Morris

Funny you should mention him.
We have a bit of a thing in the office, where we convince the naive girls in accounts that we`ve been taking various drugs of a weekend.
We invent ridiculous names for them, a la Chris Morris.

chris morris` office used to be in poland st - just off oxford st
i once followed him around at lunchtime like a puppy
he got a sandwich and went back to the office

that is all

The girls here are utterly convinced there`s a drug called Ghandi`s flipflop.
I hope there isn`t.

Just want to point out that "Go away" is Brooker`s end-of-show catchphrase.

Wasn`t trying to end my post with an angry "sod you lot" as it might have seemed...
