Was she oriental looking? You mean the one the American fancied...?

Looked it to me!

I can't really remember. I believe I thought she was kind of more...Spanish?

But I'm not the most observant person in the world.

Yes, oriental looking.

Good episode. Poor Rick. Bless 'im.

That tall oriental looking girl was quite interesting.

Oh yeah! You're not wrong.

Us blokes notice these things you know.

You are all very clever.

No one said anything about "more often". That would defeat the point of the show. Just not ALWAYS still be shitted on when it's not actually, for once, his fault.

I think that's the premise of the show though, he makes bad decisions and gets bad things happen to him. Although I like it when they mess about with the dynamics too. The last episode was very good. I liked the love-triangle between Izzy, Magda and Marty.

You're totally missing my point.

If he makes a bad decision, then bad things do happen to him. That's fine.

If he doesn't, then bad things SHOULD NOT happen to him, and yet they still do.

I get your point, you're saying Magda should be a man?

No seriously, I do get what you're saying, I probably wasn't clear enough. It's not just HIS bad decisions that he gets brought down on its also his persona which is quite often selfish that seems to be punished too. I think that's why they don't give him many victories, as a man like that shouldn't get any - even if he's not directly brought them on himself.

Splendid Christmas episode, I thought. Best drawn cast of sitcom characters on TV at the moment.

I like this show, but I don't love it. Just thought I'd let you all know.

It struck me that zooo has somewhat of a resemblance to Raquel Cassidy.

Good episode. Great to see ... thingy, shouting at the annoying neighbour. Michael. That's the one.

A sexy and interesting woman going out with a dick? I can't see it myself.
