I've seen this - it's pretty good. One thing kept leaping to mind when they were going through it all - it just sounded like they were describing my Dad!

You did? It was fab. Some of it was a bit too tabloid-speculation for my liking, but most was really interesting. I was particularly interested about the legs. Sick

Bad legs. Not good.

Again, quite like my father - his not caused by a jousting injury though.

But my father has gone the same way - his legs are buggered because of lypthademia ( spelling?) and because of this he can't move and has put on shead loads of weight - he is fatter than me now.

But the depression and everything sounds just like my old man.

That would be the one! :)

Frankie Boyle is 38?? I thought he'd be about 32.

Frankie Boyle says he is going retire from stand up in two years time because once your past forty you've lost it.

So that gives me 7 years to make it and put a few quid in the bank before I'm buggered.

Or is this just bollocks?

I never had it before 40 - not sure I've got it now but I'm more prepared now.

I'd have thought he was over 40 to be honest.
