So you're originally argument was that he IS a stand up comedian, now it's he STARTED as one (even though it was actually him finding his feet and trying a few different things to see which he enjoyed/was best at). He did improv from the start. I've heard from his own mouth in a show about his...

That is correct. But a bad O-line can make a good QB look bad as he's got no protection and gets sacked loads. As can poor wide receivers. Not having a decent RB can make it easier for a defence to guard against a QB and increase the chances of interceptions and turnovers because the QB is...

Changing the narrative again I see. Just to remind you your previous post Now it's Ed Sheeran has done a few cameos on TV including Game of Thrones. If you met someone who'd never heard of him would you're immediate thought be to describe him as an actor? My mate will be really pleased as...

Although he has done some traditional stand-up he spent much of his time in his early years doing improv at the Comedy Store and has largely concentrated on that ever since, including his staples like JAM and WLIIA alongside HIGNFY and his time presenting Room 101 (which aren't standup). If...

1. It talked about a return after 13 years. 2. That show was over 8 years ago. Since then he hasn't done another - he's just done his improv show with the group. 3. In the headline it mentions him doing the show with his improv friends. 4. I actually went to that show. It was not a traditional...

Paul Merton isn't a stand-up. He's an improv comedian. Geoff Norcott has also been a writer on the show recently.

Should probably put thins in the Things That Annoy You Thread but Lewis Hamilton really boiled my piss the other day having the barefaced cheek to lecture people on going vegan to prevent climate change. I will not be lectured to by someone who until recently owned (in practice) a private jet...

Were greater than the sum of our parts. I actually find this encouraging because it shows we're a decent team, not reliant on one or two individuals and thus at the mercy of injuries and suspensions that could derail our season. This is the fault I find in US sports - they can focus heavily on...

The things was first time I saw it I was wondering what John Parrott was doing on the show.

It's both butt-clenchingly bad yet hilarious.

I got it wrong - it wasn't Newsnight. It was Alex Jones on Sunday Politics. But yeah at the moment we're resisting the total lunatics of the far right from the US, but as we've seen with the tactics Alexander used in his leadership bid they are creeping in.

We've been aping US culture for quite some time now but I guess as they have so many TV shows etc shown on British TV it almost feels like 'our' culture at times especially to the young as shows are released here at pretty much the same time as the US. Another thing I've just remembered about...

It does depend on the country. In the US Corbyn would be consider an uber-Communist. Over there the likes of Obama, Hilary etc are considered left wing. Over here they'd be slightly to the right. Even Bernie Sanders would be considered a centrist here. I think over here we've the 'centre' shift...

Apart from the fact we're only into October so meaningless, but Mason and Kelly have to be in the reckoning surely?

Are you talking about the same HIGNFY that pretty much launched the media profile and front bench careers of Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg? A show which Jeremy Clarkson has appeared on and presented numerous times. Julia Hartley Brewer I remember has made a number of appearances, as has...

Depends on if you're talking imports or exports. It does of course work both ways. EU companies may well be pulling manufacturing out of Japan as well because their plants are no longer needed now there are no tariffs. Just as we've heard a great deal about companies in the UK planning to...

Nope. Never said that. Perhaps your 'photographic memory' has run out of disk space or got corrupted? What I have said is when Kelly is fit Walsh would be the person I'd drop as he's the most similar in style to him in the team right now.

Did I say that? I said sometimes people who are naturally good at something aren't necessarily capable of telling others how to do the same. You can teach the basics of what to do but if there is something you do subconsciously that makes you better than everyone else at something you can't...

Although I get the causing disruption it seems an odd target. All those people that couldn't get the tube would have ended up having to get even more polluting transport like buses or taxi's, congesting the roads and resulting in even more CO2 in the atmosphere. It'd be like a vegan burning a...
