If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

Awww, it's like the British comedy thread I started ages ago where y'all were "I love The Vicar of Dibley, I have never heard of The Mighty Boosh" all over again. XD

Comedy: The Thick of It, Gavin and Stacey, Spaced, Black Books, The Mighty Boosh, The High Life.

Drama: Life on Mars, Torchwood, Hornblower.

Other: Have I Got News For You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

And I'm FAR more excited than I should be for the forthcoming Cranford Christmas special. :3
