Can't imagine many people will come up with the answer True Identity.
I hate these shows - they always seem so pointless and unrevealing. It's like I can already hear Lenny Henry saying "...but travelling up to Liverpool... one gets a different perspective on the British mirth machine. Home to The Beatles, Cilla Black and Ken Dodd the city has a rich heritage of comedians", all overlaid with shots of seagulls, Lenny Henry walking in front of the Liver building with his hands in his pockets, and maybe some people in a shopping centre. Then it'll cut to a talking head, probably Craig Charles, who'll say something like, "I think different people laugh at different things".

Do you think many will have the moral courage to say they laugh at mongs, mingers, fat women, short men, beards, cancer, each other's mings, benway's bollocks and so on and so forth?

I've been reading Watching the English and whilst still very 'laymen' does 'report' much of what as an outsider I see every day. The most disturbing bit of it is that I am actually starting to assimulate some of the cultural patois...
Since Ms(rs?) Fox is a real anthropologist I'll stick with her observations/opinions over those of Henry's... Atleast her book was funny.

Dunno, I'm reading 4 books at the minute so I haven't quite gotten that far.

Sorreee! You volunteered information! Forgive me for joining in.
But you're right. I was moaning. My bad.

Hey apparently Lenny Henry is also writing a drama about a chap who has a rubbish life until he takes an Open University English course and then his life gets all awesome or something.

Let me tell you what made me laugh yesterday. I finished work early so I took the Masketeers to Forbidden Planet to buy some comic books. We were on the ground floor browsing the Doctor Who merchandise when a gangly twenty-something with attempted beard and a baggy sweater passed us with a determined stride to the where the Star Wars stuff is stocked. A short, pierced, melancholy girl in her teens followed him. Lofty approached the Star Wars action figures with arm outstretched, but, wait! Where the action figure of his dreams should hang, there was naught but a void. An empty chrome arm, mocking him. A howl rent the store (I'm not kidding. Even Masketeer #2 looked up from the Cyberman Voice-changer Helmets) He threw his fists into the air. "WHY!?" he screamed. "WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME!?!?!?!?" His little woman took a step backwards, looking a mite embarassed. He continued, "I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT WHEN I SAW IT HERE LAST TIME!!! WHY!?!?!? WHY AM I SO UNLUCKY!?!?!?! WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME!?!?!?!" He continued ranting for another 12 or 15 seconds then stormed off in a massive huff, gesturing angrily. The Masketeers and I all looked at one another with eyebrows raised and had a lengthy chuckle.

I've also got a little correspondence going with barrister Cliff Onyeowa from Togo. He's convinced I'm about to inherit $20m. That's making me laugh, too. And TMO, of course. TMO is making me laugh.

I have a horrible, horrible feeling that Joan C may well be off on some sort of special holiday. Like a honeymoon or something.
*earth shattering sound of multiple hearts breaking*
I managed to do a chuckle last night. One of the BT adverts featuring that bloke who was in the unfunniest sitcom of all time My Family came on. My son sighed and said "I liked him better when he was a retard."
