Admittedly I've been somewhat preoccupied with an extremely important exam for the last week or so, but I'm not sure the stress-related chemical imbalance in my brain will excuse this:
On Monday, after a tense afternoon's revision, I relaxed in front of the TV, and ended-up watching 'Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps'. And faced something of a dilemma.
On the one hand, it was / is clearly shit.
On the other hand, it was really, really funny. In fact, I was laughing out loud almost all the way through. And I thought the actors were really funny, given the underlying shitness of it.
Even more disturbingly, the really irritating girl (the one who isn't Natalie Casey or Sheridan Smith) made me laugh the most, when she metioned 'Round The Twist' to Tad-from-Neighbours.
But, erm, I found the whole programme funny.
Yet I also hate the idea of it, and have watched it before, and marvelled at its' shitness.
Was it just a temporary lapse? Or is it actually good now?
I need help.

Was it just a temporary lapse? Or is it actually good now? It's as good as it always was though I liked it from the beginning. However the standard for Northern television acting has gone downhill in the benchmark Coronation Street (usually in the actors & actresses about the same age as those in Two Pints of Lager 18-30 ish) and has had a knock-on effect on making other not quite so good things seem better produced and higher quality.

I still can't bring myself to watch Two Pints... People have it on quite often in the office and I cringe from start to finish at the sheer awfulness.

Ah thought so. Just to let you know down here it's just like Eastenders.
None of us have working washing machines, we all spend our time in the pub and everyone fancies either Kat Slater or Phil Mitchell.

Would it help to conform to the heterosexual male stereotype? Have a look at www.boulavard.co.uk if you're not sure what to do.

well, living inthe midlands, i find myself curiously torn between two divergent stereotypes - i'm SO confused. I'm Welsh so really my name is David Davies, I live on a farm with thousands of sheep. Everyone in the nearest village is also called David Davies- oh, the confusion of inbreeding!!! And we all talk in really thick Welsh accents, say 'Boyo' and 'lovely boy' when we aren't going 'oogie oogie oogie oi-oi-oi', carry around massive leeks and are terrible alcoholics What few women there are dress like this: (although, that's the only one that carries a Bafta around the place) And we all hate the English with a passion and cry like little girls when they hammer us at rugby
