I have a friend who wont date black men, not because they are black but because she does not find black men attractive, in the same way she wont date a man who has blond hair and blue eyes.

I cant work out if she is racist or it is simply her preference in men, she has many friends who are the above, but still I'm Hmm so is she racist or not Confused

I can barely watch it! Poor Mickey. Toe-curling.

You're my wife now, Dave.

And how about Psychoville? For my money it might actually be better than the League ...

I love it!!

Now does this answer your question about Psychoville?!

I LOVED Imelda Staunton and her hapless assistant.

I think nearly anything they do is genius!

Hoping they will do something together again soon, should check their website.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 19/04/2012 18:01

Oh I know, me too! Someone asked Reece Shearsmith on Twitter once if there would be another series of Psychoville and he replied quite irritably that 'no one watched the last one!'

He's not wrong (well, he's only a bit wrong; my household watched it, and I guess yours Smile) but it still made me sad. Would LOVE another.

Or something completely different but hopefully just as twisted and hilarious.

HokeyCokeyPigInaPokey · 19/04/2012 18:57

Well i watched it and dh (who normally hates the comedy i like, he hates The League) watched it too. All the feedback on their FB page and the website was very good too, i have no idea what the viewing figures would be though.

I heard that he had said there wouldn't be another one but i hope they do something!

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 20/04/2012 10:26

Yeah, I think it had a rather, um, select audience! I'm sure they'll work together again though; they obviously work well together, and presumably are all friends, so surely they won't be able to resist?

I have this mental image of them all huddled up together somewhere faintly grotesque, like this, drinking and giggling and coming up with something bizarre and hilarious.

I want to be in their gang.

HokeyCokeyPigInaPokey · 20/04/2012 16:22

Oh yes i like that idea, they look like perfect surroundings!!

You and me both!

Hi ladies, this post is funny. As a mixed heritage woman, no she is not racist, she does not find black men attractive. The PC brigade in full force, i would not date a Caucasian gentlemen but have found some attractive, but i digress but in dating, there are many reasons that i will not and those are private. Mixed race heritage with both parents from Jamaica, Mother being very very light skinned (white by skin colour)from Manchester/St.Elizabeth/Mandeville in Jamaica and father from Clarendon (which are predominately of a darker hue) i do not find dark skinned men attractive at all. Tend to go for men that are either Asian (Indian/Pakistani etc or Light skinned brown hue in Black men) or Italian/Spanish/Portuguese as long as they have an dark obvious natural hue to their skin. It is what rocks my boat and some Black men have called me racist but guess what i will not date/sleep an individual i do not find attractive. It is a type. B.t.w the way i am a heightest too loool :) So leave her, this p.c stuff is becoming ridiculous and it is the new P.C Nazi which i do not like and it is scary....Peace
