Let's not get carried away. I said I liked the font.

Spaced. Because it's devoid of anything resembling humour.

Yes Ian, once again that is exactly what you are.

Academic? Why, thang you!
Liking Spaced is in the Homoble, btw ;)

Nighty Night Series 2

Because it pissed all over series 1 in a desperate attempt to out-shock it . . .

Green Wing.
Boosh.
New Buzzcocks.
For the most part Peep Show.
