Not so silent
The funniest thing on TV is (or was) the Black Adder series with Rowan AtkinsonBob Willson
The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

Bob, unfortunately Black Adder is not on TV at the moment. Otherwise my reply would have read "second funniest thing on TV".

Have you thought of getting a satelite box for the free to air TV. If you live in an area that has lousy reception you can get it. If you go to a TV Repair/Aerial Installation company they should point you in the right direction.
I can watch Western Australian free to air channels here because I am in a bad TV reception area. It comes off the same satelite as Foxtel and Austar.

The first series of Blackadder did nothing for me, and IMO the third was 'patchy' but Nos 2 and 4, simply brilliant!I wanted to become a brickie but my old man said "No son, learn a trade."

I'd have to agree that the first series wasn't a patch on the second. I wouldn't say it did nothing for me, still got a few good laughs. Second series gets my vote as the best though, closely followed by Blackadder goes Forth.

HH,
Re. Foxtel/Austar, it depends on whether you are cable or sattelite. We have Austar sattelite and we get ABC and SBS only.
Re. obnoxious and unfunny, well I'd say its the obnoxious style, if you could call it that, which makes them funny. Anyway, it's something only Australians can understand. It's a -take of the great Aussie bullsh!ter. The bloke down the pub who's done everything and knows everything. Well, that's Roy's character anyway. Not too many poms find them very funny. But then you loved Rolf, so work that one out
We're not very highbrow over here as you well know"I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

They were funny and clever...... once upon a time but nowadays they are just loud and as boring as batshat!
You want funny? Go down to the dim dark recesses of your video shop and hire "The Gods Must Be Crazy 1&2".

Back to that other pair, I always find them synonymous with Fooball, and I bloody hate loath and detest it.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.
