Why do you think this?

He is probably my favourite Scottish artist and I am well aware that the vast majority won't like him.

Do you have any reasoning behind yours that you can share?

Not trying to convince you of anything here. Our opposing views are neither right nor wrong. One of the most fascinating aspects of the human condition for me is the vast differences in outlooks and perceptions, in particular the reasons for our differences. Just wondered if you cared to elaborate but no problem if you didn't. 

Can't put my finger on it, but I really find him to be unfunny, but as you've mentioned before, comedy is subjective. Something you find hilarious I might think is terrible. Think some of the stuff he's done before though just irritated me so it's put me off him completely

Thanks for sharing. Not sure it was me who said those words even though I agree that it is subjective. Most in the UK like The Office, Only Fools, Dads Army, Allo Allo, Mrs Brown's Boys etc. I can't stand these types of "comedy". It's understanding why some like and others dislike that I find interesting. I guess it comes down to expectations with Limmy. I don't see him as a comedian. Many of his detractors do. 

The Office is a completely different type of comedy to the others mentioned. 

Limmy is ok, a lot of great stuff, a decent amount of shite too.

The Office is far superior to the other comedies you mentioned. 

 

 

Only Fools and Horses, Mrs Brown's Boys etc are fucking horrendous.

 

Limmy on the other hand is a genius. 

The Office is terrific, Mrs Brown’s Boys is horrific, Only Fools is still eminently watchable today, and not seen as Britain’s finest sitcom for no reason.

Everyone has different tastes tho.

Watched Alan Partridge on Netflix the other day and had almost forgotten how good that was.

OF&H much better with Uncle Albert than Grandad in it.

You declared war.

Aye but "declared war" on an internet football forum... where we can trade insults anonymously all day long and unless someone steps over the line and posts information in a topic that reveals the true identify of a poster (which deserves a lifetime ban if ever done) then that's about as hardcore as it gets - while pissing everyone else off in the process.

Hardly like getting the boys together for a square go to settle any differences is it?

You and I will never see eye to eye (I'm taller than you anyhow) and while it can be a bit of fun its also pretty boring and repetitive.

Well you started it and as I thought I'd done already in your case, I finished it.

Don't complain if you didn't like the reaction. There are consequences.

You are less than a handful. You all followed the same pattern. It all comes to the same end, as per the last 20+ years.

And don't invoke clitoral literal when it suits you. You've got form for twisting things and spinning BIG yarns but declaring "war", grow up. Mutant. 

^ dearie me RS that's beyond belief even for you!

We all know you are a wind up merchant but I do honestly wonder if you believe some of the stuff you post ?

Anyhow no more on the subject from me, I have a book to write and a website to build.

Ever been to the Potarch café - well worth a visit RS if not.

Cafes are your thing. They're not an area of enthusiasm for me. They are just a necessary requirement, not something to cream our pants over.

Was in Potarch in August, a beautiful sunny day. Had an average lunch there, won't be back. 

Not sure if its new owners since then RS, always give things the benefit of the doubt and give it a second chance.

That's a good time to cease communications.

Okay dokey but will always be here for you, and everyone else, as and when you need a good North East Café recommendation.  Likewise if you have any others recommendations (Buchanan Bistro was decent) up your sleeves then please pass them on RS - your input will be invaluable for my research.

Thanks for asking and yes from talking to RS abut our mutual love of Cafe's I decided to press ahead with an idea of creating a website dedicated to where to go for good coffee in the North East and also where not to go. 

Decided to speak to a few publishers on the off chance that might be interested in such a venture of publishing a booklet given the current love of café culture here in the UK and they loved the idea.

So loads of research to do and will be meeting with the publisher early next year along with the website going live.  Did offer RS the opportunity to write the introduction but alas he passed it up.

Given that I've been to the vast majority of cafes and restaurants within the city and immediate proximity, I won't need your recommendations thanks. There's already more good ones than I can possibly visit regularly. Including my work and travel, I eat out or takeaway approximately 300 times p.a. with 2 or 3 a day required during the days away from home. It's still 4/5 times a week this year but unlike you, I don't shoot jetsams of jism over a cup of coffee, a product I rarely drink compared to most.

By research do you mean going to cafés and drinking coffee? 
Can’t fault you if so.

I’ve a couple of books in me, but just can’t get started. I’m the world’s leading procrastinator!
