This is probably satire since you are a sarky duck, but there is more truth in this single line than in all the archives of Hansard.

We've been to Button Moon, and followed Mr. Spoon.

WOW!! Brought back some amazing childhood memories there.

I reckon you lot need to get back into UK PoliGAF, it's been a graveyard since I made this thread

I'm going through an 'utterly apathetic about politics' stage. I want to care, I try to care, but ultimately it's just bollocks. The same team wearing two different colours and pretending to compete.

Yeah. Pretty much how I feel. They need to spice it up a little. Maybe if it was decided in the pit. A fight to the death.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

...That rosie and jim video. At the end, did he draw a dick? Cause thats fucking hilarious.

it would be more interesting if there was a party that represented the working and underclasses again, rather than everyone fighting to represent the aspirational middle ground.

Politics is a fucking joke. And the funniest thing is people constantly trotting out the ol' "Well if you don't vote you can't have your say" nonsense. Even if you vote you don't have your say. The party gets in and they do whatever the fuck they want for 4 years. There is very very little the public can do to sway the opinions of the political classes. Which in some ways is a blessing, since people are idiots.

It's a summer's day in London and the trains show it. Some fucker just let rip. It's like having a bath in sewage steam.

 

[industrian]

Im a sucker for big infrastructure projects but I do think that capital spending powers should be devolved.

As a technocrat I love the idea of engineers getting enough money to go wild on hi-tech shit.

But the cold, heard reality is that I hate it when private contractors get a blank cheque from the government and just milk it completely knowing full well that governments never default.

Not to mention they will lie to manipulate public opinion anyway if they have to. The war on Iraq for instance.

The government doesn't really represent the people they control the people. Instead of listening to public opinion, they try manipulate public opinion to better suit their own agenda.

He most certainly did! Made me burst out laughing when I first saw it as I'd been following related links through YouTube and wasn't expecting it.

Nice. That's me after not introducing Meadows to the Corrie game, that is.

(I really must re-watch The Mary Whitehouse Experience and Newman & Baddiel: In Pieces).

 

[wetflame]

Actually it kind of is, it was originally a Swiss program, but it was bought by a UK company and then they re-made all the original episodes and ended up writing several more. In fact, Frank Sidebottom wrote episodes for it.

I think the jealously is starting to get the better of you now, Chinner.

 

[Mr. Sam]

I study politics. I'm trying to write four different essays, all due in on Tuesday. I want to - and deserve to - die.

 

[SteveWD40]

My childhood in a nutshell:

Thundercats HOOOOO

Chip and Dale

Duck Tales

Didn't watch UK stuff, mostly depressing shit to be honest (Grange Hill, Jonny Briggs...fuck off!)

EDIT: forgot, there was one show I did like from here:

Knightmare...GOD DAMN YES

 

[wetflame]

RIP Frank

I was lucky enough to meet him once. Top bloke. Went to his memorial thing at Castlefield Arena, they showed his (unaired) pilot for "Celebrity Sleepover" with Mike Joyce of The Smiths. T'was amazing. The world is a poorer place without him!

 

[twobear]

a guy in cambridge got suspended for over two years for peaceful protest during a speech by david willets

http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2012/mar/14/cambridge-student-ban-protest-david-willetts

it's the HOT TOPIC at the moment and lots of people (including many lecturers) are signing a petition to complain

how exciting!!

 

[Musha_Soturi]

RIP Frank

His version of 'Flash' was hilarious.

"Frank I love you but we only have 14 hours to save the Earth"

"Yes I know I've got me bloody watch on"

fucking dutch universities clogging up my youtube with adverts

 

[Suairyu]

I swear video adverts were the worst thing to happen to YouTube. Makes the whole site feel like gametrailers.

I used to waste hours on YouTube, now it's just a chore going there.

Alright UK/ROI-GAF, it's NOSTALGIA TIME! What are the all time great children's tv themes? I was having a discussion about this the other day talking about how kids these days are growing up with all sorts of generic action cartoons about shooting aliens, or odd shows with blobs that don't speak words and how sad it is they're not going to end up with the same golden memories of watching telly what we all do. Ended up looking up loads of old TV show intros on Youtube, stumbled upon this gem.

Off the top of my head, the good ones are:
Thomas the Tank Engine
Fireman Sam
Poddington Peas
Count Duckula
The Racoons

Probably a lot more, I remember things like Button Moon, Trapdoor, The Shoe People and all sorts. Brum. Then later on you had stuff like Jason and the Wheeled Warriors and Bots Master. Good times. Anyone got any more to share?

Loved Fireman Sam. You forgot Postman Pat, though
