Charlie Brooker is a thinking man's Jamez. I love him. Yes: Nathan Barley was awful. I liked the concept but the show was crap.

Who the hell is Nathan Barley?

I do like Charlie Brooker, he's brutally honest which is not neccessarily a common quality these days (except for AM radio).

It was a show written by Charlie Brooker and Chris Morris about a guy called Nathan Barley - a "Self actualising media node".

I don't think Brooker is like Luxton at all. Brooker is funny.
Ronnie is victorious, vivacious in victory like a venomous dog. Vile Republicans cease living while the religious retort with rueful rhetoric. These rank thugs resort to violence and swear revenge.

But Ronnie can punch through steel so they lose anyway.

More accurately, people tend to laugh with Brooker, but only laugh at Luxton.

JAMEZ EDIT: Gonna make me trawl through MSN chat logs dating back to 2003? :-S
I have zero interest in your alleged MSN conversations. Post anything more on the matter and you will be removed from the board for good.
Thanks for the advice.

Next time I have some juicy gossip, I'll remember to aquire hard evidence first.

Merry new year to you, sir.
I very much doubt it. You've never bothered before.

If you want me to have a merry new year you might be more careful about posting things here that will get me into trouble.

I can very much assure all that I am male. Infact, those who have been here (and on TVF) a while, and remember the old IRC chats will know for sure who I am.

I could probably even dig up the old photo out of the gallery, if they want any more proof, Spud.

That's brilliant..

Sadly my only exposure to Mr Brooker has been via YouTube, as you can imagine a UK-specific show such as his would have limited appeal to an Australian audience (although the idea of the format isn't a bad one).

Is that the one where I look sort-of-but-not-quite like Netizen? I forget as it's been such a long time, and my memory is, alas, not as sharp as the great Mr. Harvey's.
