Where's Julius Nicholson?

Where's Julius Nicholson?

Probably out buying biscuits

 

[Firky]

These biscuits cost £4.

Pretty sure it was along the lines of 'we need to have a serious talk about you' no specific quote but I had to rewind it and turn it up, that was the gist.

Think it was "We have got some work to do with you." Which looked like Tucker's attempt at asserting himself over the new leader...

 

[DrRingDing]

That was the best episode so far. Very fucking good.

 

[neonwilderness]

Where's Ian Fleming?

Steve?

I'm just re-watching yesterday's episode. He's quoted in the paper at the start saying Nicola is unelectable.

Of course, Steve

Choo fucking choo....

"This is like the end of a book, a very short, shit book that nobody wanted to read"

 

[stavros]

"Ollie Toynbee"

 

[stavros]

Where's Julius Nicholson?

"Julius, being of sound mind but with a body that looks like a giant sex toy."

 

[8115]

"Watch the fuckpuppetmaster at work"

 

[Favelado]

Coked-up cousin-fucking chinless aliens.

 

[Ted Striker]

"Ollie Toynbee"

Pipped it as my fave of the episode...One of those lines where you think it must come to the writers in the middle of the night that they scribble down on their pad next to their bed, then try and work out they can insert it into the show.

 

[DexterTCN]

No TTOI tonight, fucking beatles programmes instead.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Probably because every episode comes true and this one features terrorism or war.

 

[Stigmata]

Fuck the Beatles

 

[8115]

Oh no, fuck that. I'm so disappointed. How many episodes in this series to go?

 

[stavros]

An almighty scheduling cluster-fuck.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Oh no, fuck that. I'm so disappointed. How many episodes in this series to go?

Well if it's anything like S3 it's another four left.

 

[Tankus]

Just caught up with 3 and 4 ...........outstanding

Going back on the train in first class..after Swains knife.... the bit about not Wanting to speak to the husband on the phone as he would act smug and then she would have to ask for a divorce, getting stuck with the effin kids......I felt a well of sympathy rise within me...... utterly no one left to lean on.

Will she Tickle her way out in the last episode..... I wonder?

To make up for the lack of The Thick of it this week, here's an article by Peter Mannion about conference. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices...its-like-queueing-at-an-abattoir-8200271.html

 

[stavros]

I haven't read it yet, but it struck me as odd that the front page says "Peter Mannion at the Tory conference", when the show has studiously never used party names, regardless of the obvious intended targets.

Have the Beeb given a reason for postponing their best show for yet another pointless brown-nosing of the Beatles?

 

[Maurice Picarda]

The piece is quite careful; idiot subs.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

'you don't look a gift corpse in the mouth'

Dear Points of View...

Tory conference?

 

[stavros]

The Beatles are the sort of band Abbot or Mannion would pretend to be into to appear hip.

 

[Stigmata]

Mannion wouldn't pretend to like anything. Duke Ellington and Puccini all the way. Abbott would cling desperately to the Beatles as one of the few bands he's heard of.

 

[youngian]

While Fleming and Tucker are the Gallagher Brothers of British politics

 

[Stigmata]

I prefer to think of Tucker as the Thin White Mugabe
