Ha! Stille I have just discovered Everybody Loves Raymond (dd has loved it for years and I have always dismissed it as schmaltzy crap) - it is brilliant.

I saw Omid years ago when he used to do at least half his act with his 'accent'

Totally shocked when he switched to Laandaaahn accent

Omid did a sketch about the London bombings about a year after (it was on tv). Don't like him. One trick pony - or maybe he should haggle for it!
