Most obscure show: probably the Christian Science Bible Lesson. Andy Nyman (Patrick in Dead Set bumped it my way). Youtube it. It's terrifying.

Hurray! Good start, Charlie.

JackBauer, you're an impatient little thing aren't you? What's the matter?

JackBauer, about to answer your zombie plan q

jack bauer is probably a little wet still?

Impatient/bored.
3 yr old conversation does not inspire or amuse. Unless it's about poo.

someone famous answered my question. My DH is going to be right impressed

JackBauer, my zombie plan... There's no way I'd cope in a zombie apocalypse environment. I'm squeamish in real life and can't run too fast, so if they're mobile Dead Set type zombies I'm done for. Slow stumblers might allow me to survive for a week but that's about it.

I can't plan, and am utterly impractical. So my zombie plan would consist of killing myself as quickly and painlessly as possible I'm afraid. Maybe with a pencil.

Hello Charlie

I'll try and disguise my immense admiration for you with bile and hate; it's a combination I use regularly to great effect.

Can you see yourself with children? (Not in a Gary Glitter way. You perv.)

If so, could you see yourself on here? Although, to be honest, I'd think of a better nickname if I were you.

midnightexpress, I'm neither a glass half empty or glass half full person. I'm a "hope I don't have to wash up that glass afterwards" type person.

CharlieBrooker, how much notice do you take of critics? Eg, I noticed that Heat magazine liked your panel show but kept harping on about how the gameshow format was unnecessary. I'm a bit torn because i kind of agree with them but I hate the idea that you would read Heat, let alone take any notice of their whining. So, do you care what they think?

podge means from the rain.

Honest.

Good answer. Planned suicide does count as a Zombie plan.

Although obviously we would all be sad shuffling Zombies.

popsywind, I used to frequent a board or too many years ago, back when you could still smell sawdust on the Internet. But quickly got into rows and behaved like a prick. These days I occasionally lurk and watch other people talk. It's like being in training for becoming a ghost later in life (ie after it)

Hello Charlie

Do you answer everything with a joke or something witty? Is it a defense mechanism?

Like other funny people/comedians can you be a bit morose?

Urgh. I made a spelling mistake ('too' for 'two'). I blame JackBauer for scaring me into typing too fast. Two fast. Will punch self in kidneys.

'But quickly got into rows and behaved like a prick' welcome to mumsnet you will fit right in!

Dishwasher, Charlie, dishwasher.

ILiketoMoveItMoveIt, yes it probably is a defence mechanism. But it's this or weeping on the keyboard.

Whoops! I did mean from the rain. sorry!!

Hello Charlie
LOL at already better than Dave Cameron!
Did HQ give you a choice of biscuits?
My question is what do you make of all of the pushing and shoving and fawning on this thread?
What will you tell people about it later?!

theyoungvisitor, I'm not actually angry, just violently disappointed with things. Actually, a lot of it is a persona. I'm really rather goonish in real life.
