What you going to?

He’s back in the game then? Good stuff:)

I think so.

Heard a lovely story about him and why he’s back in the UK from one of his friends who I know.

Sounds a really nice guy.

Ricky Gervais in Brighton last night. 30% funny, 70% awful. This pretty much sums it up

He always strikes me as someone with real comic ability, who is also deeply unpleasant.

Yeah. An undeniable writing talent imo, but I just wish he’d dial it back a bit, dispense with the unnecessary swearing and ‘shock’ factor.

He’s not stupid by any means, but he could craft his stand up routines a little better.

Haven’t seen them since Mary Hansen died, but I’m sure they’ll still be as wonderful.

I’m going to the London gig too. I’m a late convert to Stereolab but become a huge fan. Would have loved to have seen them in peak metronomic mode in the 90s.

Dal and rice would go far as you could make huge batches. Make it not spicy and provide chilli flakes on the side - that should work for everyone.

Can you grow lentils in the UK?

According to Gardeners world last week, yes you can

Agreed, don’t like the way he revels in saying the unsayable. Seems to do it just for effect rather than because he actually thinks it’s funny. The Office and Extras were brilliant though so there is genius in there, but I thought After Life and Derek were bang average

Afterlife was atrocious, I gave up on Derek, diminishing returns since The Office.

The collab with NWW is one of my all time records. An incredible sounding piece of music.

My Mrs make a amazing lentil pie… :yum: A recipe from her grandmother…

The bit where it just stops and the voice says SCUTTLING is so freaky. I played it before the club opened at Little Portland Street the other day, and it sounded mind-bending on that system.
