^^ That's why you don't do it with skanky women.  As a comedian once said (a good portion of this is bleeped out for the sake of the children) "If you don't trust the p**sy, why are you f**king the p**sy?"  Besides the Clap had some pretty good guitar work.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Britcom is the BEST



Too bloody right it is! Americans wouldn't know good comedy if it stood naked in the doorway and begged them to make love to it.

That's why me and my wife are Britcom addicts and have been for around the last 15 years.

A perfect example is the US version of The Office. But there were also US versions of Red Dwarf and Coupling which were so bad I couldn't believe it. Why bother trying to mess with perfection? it was quite obvious from the start that you'll never be able to top those shows.

We are Red Dwarf addicts in my household.Have all 8 seasons on VHS and 1-6 on DVD and are RABID in our love and devotion for that show.We recently got our hands on the pilot episode of the American version and it was an absolute travesty.Bad beyond belief.

We watch a lot of Coupling too and when they showed it here in America(the American version),we didn't even bother to watch because we new it would SUCK,And it did.
