Re: Hey limeys
Have to admit i am genuinely transfixed by a lot of the coverage, if only to gawp in wonderment at commentators and journalists trying to outdo each other for gravitas and solemnity, knowing that for most of them, it represents a once in a lifetime opportunity to really mark the occasion. And nearly all completely oblivious to the stark reality that the harder they try, the more ridiculous they sound.

Genuine belly laugh. But one of those things where the laugh can be one of insiders celebrating their insiderdom and one of genuine contempt for those assholes.Low Down Low wrote: ↑14 Sep 2022, 6:47pmThe best thing about this is they all think Spike is just joking.

Yeah, it's great because Spike always had impeccable comic timing, but the dynamics of the exchange arefascinating. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but there is a potent mocking contempt in his words and i doubt the then prince is even his primary target.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 Sep 2022, 7:07pmGenuine belly laugh.

Re: Hey limeys
That's it for me anyway. I've never forgotten the first time i saw Spike interviewed on a chatshow when i was a kid. The host was in the process of some long-winded typically smarmy intro when this voice bellows from behind the curtain: "get on with it!" and then out shuffles Milligan with a sly, sheepish grin on his face. He could be utterly charming one minute, then sharp and scabrous the next, without any warning. I remember at one point fellow guest Gilbert O'Sullivan saying he was an avid reader and Spike immediately butting in - "what's avid reading?" - and holding an imaginary book up to his face - "oh look, he's avid reading!" Poor inoffensive Gilbert didn't deserve that i thought, but that was Spike, sometimes cruel but always sharp and devastatingly amusing.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Sep 2022, 6:13amIt can easily be interpreted to regard all manner of smug and phony bastards as the greater target.Low Down Low wrote: ↑15 Sep 2022, 3:43amYeah, it's great because Spike always had impeccable comic timing, but the dynamics of the exchange arefascinating.

Re: Hey limeys
Yeah, cod analysis and hackneyed, but i think smart asshumour was simply how he countered the effects of a troubled childhood and manic depression. Bit like JG Ballard i think there were scars there that left them both with rather dim views of humanity in general.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Sep 2022, 7:06amThe life of a smart-ass.
