Cool things I found out today
Actually, I did laugh at the episode where Julian Barrett's character got paint in his hair and it became a popular style - mainly for the unforgettable moment where a cat got a pair of barber's scissors accidentally embedded in its noggin.
Apart from that episode and a club sequence that had a pretty nifty remix of 'Einstein-A-Go-Go', it was all a but so-so.

I'm really enjoying these increasingly frequent cultural taste-offs between SR and The Horse. They've got a delightful 'embittered old married couple' quality to them.

I thought Nathan Barley was piss-poor by Chris Morris' standards, but bits were OK.
I'd agree with this. If you ignore the fact that Morris was behind it (and suspend your disappointment that it's not in the same league as what he's done before), Barley does have its' moments. There's something slightly sad about it though, in that it's a piss-take of young media turds made by people nudging 40. To that end I thought the subject matter felt a touch dated actually; I couldn't help thinking about James Lavelle and his whole 'executive DJ' schtick, and wasn't that all a good 5 years dead by the time that Barley appeared?
I do remember reading some months back that a second series was on the cards too. Not heard nish since though.

What I find freakish is your refusal-slash-inability to enjoy anything, bar maybe The Royal Tenenbaums and series 1 of The IT Crowd. (Actually, even the latter might me a false memory.)

By the way, SR - have you put your mouse pointer over The Horse's 'favourite record' icon and his 'philosophy' one? I'm hoping that the second is a Simpsons reference. :-)

Or is this a gag I've missed?

It does seem to be a genuine misconception. Or possibly I've been out-deadpanned, I dunno.

I don't want to come over all cook'd and bomb'd, but this bit: "Guardian columnist Charlie Brooker's E4 zombie thriller Dead Set will be set in the Big Brother house" sounds a bit rubbish, doesn't it?
While I'm here, I didn't like Nathan Barley to start with, but grew to love it. The use of language was vintage Morris, I thought.

I suppose it's a shock to come across someone who thinks even more things are shit than I do.
