Agree with your post as far as charging but I think med students are on the wards a lot in their clinical years

Which isn't until years 4-5. Prior to that my 2nd hand knowledge is that they do very little.

Apart from that he looks like a 🤬.
& acts like one too.

Grand Prix racing as never more interesting than when the lineup included Mansell, Senna, Prost, Piquet and Lauda.

He looks like Martin Freeman in the third series of "Sherlock".

I'd say it looks like a teenager's moustache.

Well, he has got past the 'bum fluff' stage...

Best comedy of the 21st century so far? I reckon The Office, Phoenix Nights, Peep Show, Green Wing and Black Books might have a claim to that throne.

Saw that list earlier. These lists are always a good laugh.

1999-2001; on the cusp.

Huh, I had it down as late 90s one like The Royle Family.

 

[MatskiMonk]

I guess many of the references were late 90's culture... but since it was better than anything for at least a decade before, and at least a decade since, I'd let it go

My personal favourite is Saxondale... I'm Alan Partridge series 2 counts as 21st century, but it was not a patch on the first series, which is my favourite comedy series of all time. The Office was very good but I reckon it owes massively to Steve Coogan's style of comedy i.e. the cringe factor that Alan Partridge mastered.

Abso-bloody-exactly. It is the numero... one.. of comedy.

I know, but...

...He just popped up at a Trump rally. Surprised? I'm not sure. Bet he at least had an all expenses paid trip.

Bearing in mind the rapturous applause he got I'm surprised he shaved his moustache off. Perhaps he should consider a different style of moustache.

It's not a selfie. It's a photo of a group of people taking a selfie.

/Photoception.

That looks familiar:

Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith are debating tonight just a few hundred yards from my flat (in the SECC in Glasgow)... but considering Scottish Labour have so few supporters they couldn't even fill half of nearby Ibrox stadium (let alone Celtic Park), I don't give them much hope of succeeding. Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale has recently come out in support of Smith, almost guaranteeing that Scottish Labour fail to capitalise on Corbyn's popularity, probably condemning Scotland to several more years of being a one-party (Nationalist) state

The Office,

Never understood the hype for that. I thought it was just incredibly stupid and not really funny at all.

I am not sure what people have to gain in supporting Smith. They surely don't expect him to win? Especially with the amount of CLPs that have declared for Corbyn.


One thing I got from Smith though is he seems to be taking everything popular out of Corbyn's book, trying to make it less radical and then putting it across as his own policy.

 

[Robin]

Same here, never got why it was considered so great.

 

[Lizard]

Oh burn from Corbyn in the debate. Basically saying the only people who asked the same question as Smith just did (whether Jeremy voted in or out of Europe) was the Daily Mail.

As apposed to the Labour party condemning the UK to being a one party Conservative state for many years to come?

You mean like the UK was a one party state from 1979 to 1997 & 1997 to 2010?
