Franky Boyle is great, but only in moderation. The whole, 'I'm a grumpy git who has a depressingly pessimistic view of the world' routine gets old quite quickly. Although I do love this particular gem:

''After watching Saddam Hussein's hanging last week, I realised there's nothing on the internet I can't w**k to''.

Who?

Saddam Hussein was the leder of iraq he was hung on war crimes

WOW. No, who is Franky Boyle.

O sorry why so mean.

Saying WOW is hardly mean. If you want to see mean read where I said I wanted to pelt the writers of the Left Behind series with bibles for their misleading book series.

He's a foul mouthed Scottish comedian who appears on the satire show Mock the Week, and does some stand up. Look him up on youtube, I'm sure there are plenty of videos.

Watching just part of one video was one too many.

He's certainly not to everyone's taste. As I hinted before, I find one episode of Mock the Week quite enough.

Frankie Boyle is pretty hilarious, Have I got news for you, Argumental and Mock the week are my favourite shows.

"world war 2, poland goes on a bad canoe trip."

"Some people are like slinkys. They are completely useless but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a fliht of stairs."

I do believe comedy is usually discussed in the Tavern!

Also, for future reference, etc. means et cetera (and the rest). ECT is electro-convulsive therapy :P
