We all wanna be in the IT crowd

Okay, so I'm going to merge 2 things into one here. Ones a rant and the other is a lovely bit of writing on the IT crowd. (The rants about chavs, hence the title) So it's a mixture between ranting about wanting to be in the 'IT' crowd at school and me bumming the IT crowd Telly show!
 I'll start with the lovely bit first okay! I am a huge IT crowd fan. I love it! I love Moss, I love Roy, I love Jen and I love Richmond! But I have to say, it's a shame to see it come to an end, truly is, it's funny and I love Roy's little catchphrase 'have you tried turning it on and off again?' It never gets old!
All the episodes of the IT crowd are hilarious! I love that chemistry between Richard Ayoade and Chris O'dowd, they're like brothers and Katherine Parkinson is like their mother or babysitter who seems to keep the boys in order and is sometimes ashamed of them!
My favourite IT crowd episode has to be the dinner party. Not only has it got Richmond in it, but the Episode itself is so funny! Dolly Wells A.K.A Miss Dolly as I call her, features in this episode as model Paula who just recently had a car accident. I really recommend this episode for anyone who considers watching the IT crowd because it's just so funny!
I'll explain the characters a little bit more now. Moss is the geeky one who seems to google everything to get a correct answer. In one episode he goes on countdown and later on gets challenged by a member of club 8+ (a countdown club Moss gets into) called Negative one. Roy is the lazy one who seems to love computer games and when Jen first arrives in the IT department, Roy doesn't like it, but she soon grows on him. He likes to lay back and do nothing but take calls and tell people to turn their computer off and on again! He's pretty funny!
Jen is the uptight, friendly one, she's very organised and in demand with everything. She's not really a computer geek though so Roy has to help her learn about computers and lastly Richmond, the goth, he's not really liked by Moss and Roy so they keep him behind this red door. The only reason he's been put down there is because he insulted his boss at his fathers funeral, by accident of course! He used to be really high up in the Reynholms Industries until he became a goth.
My twitter followers seem to love the show too! @Nell_Avenal says 'I love it especially cause first I saw Noely there, in the dinner at Jens house' @MarryLaNuit says 'It's a great comedy show and Noels just the icing on the cake!' and @Reeya27 says 'It's one of the funniest shows I've seen. It's just fantastic' I agree! It is fantasic.



Anyway onward with the ranting. So I know this has nothing to do with the IT crowd- TV show, this is to do with the 'IT' crowd at school and by 'IT' I don't mean I.T. I mean them prissy girly girls who go around looking bright orange, wearing their skirts as belts and backcombing their hair so bad, it almost looks as if they've been dragged threw a hedge backwards by a hedgehog, you all know the girls I'm on about right? Good, great, fantastic, moving on.
Is there any need to talk so fucking loud that Australia, the other side of the world can hear you?! No one really cares if you've 'chipped a nail' or 'Jake won't go out with you' is there any bloody wonder why he won't date you?! Seriously, do any of you people care? Cause I sure as hell don't. I have my own problems to worry about without you causing me a headache because you and your girlfriends are screaming down the corridors with your pauls boutique bags and Jackets!
Another thing as well, is it necessary to make your face so fucking bright it almost blinds everyone who's walking past you! If I wanted to see an annoying, talking satsuma I'd watch the annoying orange on youtube, no boy will ever want to date you if you look like him are they?! Get a clue, a little make up, that's fine, but making yourself look as if you banged a pack of crayola, that's just wrong.
Get a face wipe and stop caking your faces up! You wonder why you have so many spots?! Then you get those people who you thought were your friends changing all of a sudden to be in this 'IT' crowd for the popularity. It's annoying! The people in the 'IT' crowd aren't the kind of friend ANYONE wants to have! They're rude little bitches who get laid by lads who carry around chlamydia and crabs. It's disgusting.



Anyway yeah, that's been my review on the IT crowd and my rant on the 'IT' girls you see in EVERY school across the country. I hope you enjoyed reading it because I enjoyed writing it. Goodnight.

Reality TV shows- GET SOME NEW IDEAS!

Okay, so everyone enjoys watching the tellybox every now and then, but have you ever picked up a remote and examined each program that you've watched and compared them to other shows? Let me explain myself, you've heard of the shows The only way is Essex and Geordie Shore haven't you? Who hasn't?! Anyway if you watch them both they're the same program just in different areas and with different people. All they show us is what people are like in them places! Talking satsumas who's vaginas are open 24/7 to chavy lads who need to show more respect.
People say that they want to see real people on the TV but they only want to see real people so they can criticize them and make themselves feel better about their life because people aren't laughing about you or talking about your antics because they're too busy gossiping about a TV show. TV is boring now, you get the occasional good show but they're drowned out by the dull reality shows that TV executives put on our TV because that's what people want.
When people get what they want, all these reality shows on the TV, all they do is complain about how there's too many reality shows on TV. I have one thing to say to them people STOP REQUESTING THEM! Honestly in my opinion I think we need more comedy shows on the TV, not sitcoms based in a house or a workplace, but sketch shows. We need more comedy in this world and people need a sense of humor.
We're in bad times right now, with the ressession going on, we don't need reality shows of people getting drunk and trying to impress people who are watching the show, because they want to be known and they want to be liked by everyone, but honestly the majority of the population want to punch them in the face.
Big brother, don't get me started on big brother, I mean, people who are famous from big brother shouldn't be famous at all. They don't deserve to be famous, they applied for a TV show, if I applied for a show, let's say Jim'll fix it was still on TV (R.I.P Jimmy Saville) and I applied, I wouldn't be in the magazines or anything, so why are they in the news?!
It just doesn't make sense, we need comedy shows on TV, something new, something bright! We need something which will make us forget, even for just half an hour, about the dark times our country's in. Geordie Shore, TOWIE, Big Brother, is this what our society is coming to? Watching normal people like ourselves make fools of themselves because we can laugh at them and forget about our own pathetic lives by judging someone who gets hammered on TV to become popular?!

Noel Fielding's scribbling's of a Madcap Shambleton review

Noel Fielding's scribbling's of a madcap shambleton is to be specific a surreal art book full of his art from the past 5 or so years according to Noel. The book is full of drawings and paintings he's done, most of them have a story behind them which of course Noel tells us about. He also has a lot of drawings of Luxury Comedy characters in his book- SGT Boombox for example.
There are also little chapter things in the book one of them is called 'Bryan Ferry VS the Jellyfox' another is called 'These people are stupid' and my personal favourite is one dedicated to Elvis Presley called 'a liquid flask of Elvis'. In the middle of the book he's got a page full of fans who sent TVO their picture to be part of Noels tiny children which is really cute in my opinion and if you are one of his tiny children, congratuwelldone!
In the front of the book Dexter Dalwood, Noels first fine art teacher has wrote a couple of words about Noel and Noel also introduced himself. He says that he was a shy child and that art helped him break the shy mold and that this book was his way of combining comedy and art together!
In all honesty my favourite painting would have to be, by far, 'Love stick' if you don't know which painting I am on about it is page 214-215 in scribbling's of a madcap shambleton. Dave Brown, Noel Fielding's best friend from university and Bollo in the mighty boosh done the majority of the photography for the book and put the book together for Noel!
On twitter @AlineTweets91 says 'It's visually, overwhelmingly stunning. Everything fits together perfectly. It's only fault is that there's a last page' agreed! I never wanted the book to end! It was so colourful. @TabbyCatxoxo says 'I really liked it, t'was a unique insight into his mind. Although it was nearly taken off me cause some parts are rude' Agreed, a few pages are VERY rude and may require parental consent so if you are going to buy this book and are under 14 years of age, you may need to ask a parent to buy you it and @Nell_Avenal says 'to be honest, I didn't read it all, but my heart hurts, he's so happy and I didn't do it cause my heart hurts'
So there you go, good reviews all round and if you're like me and are lucky to have it signed, or be one of his tiny children, treasure it! If you don't have your copy of scribbling's it's available in waterstones right now for £10 (UK readers only) if you are outside the UK you can always go to Amazon where there will defiantly be some copies available. Get yours today!

Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy- Mash Potato Utopia!

In this episode of Luxury Comedy all your favourites return! That's right, Sgt Raymond Boombox, Daddy push and Dondylion are back, with Roy Circles and Ice cream eyes. No Fantasy man, Dolly or Andy Warhol though, but some new characters have been thrown into the mix and this week Noels mixed it up a bit, with Sgt
Boombox in a scene with Noel and the new french Character Ian Guage!
This week Noel is tortured by a dolphin bomber, Raymond Boombox tells us about the singing fishfinger- single baked bean, what could it mean? Secret Peter tells us where Alan Hansen has been hiding, Dondylion befriends a monkey named Ravi who writes a postcard for Dondylion's mum, City gent blames ice cream eyes again- oh ice cream eyes. The Audience and Doo Rag make mash potato revolvers and sing about mash potato eurovision, Roy Circles tells us about the time he worked in south Africa, Ian Guage sings for us in french the words 'do you love me' and a slice of toast replies 'non' He also cried chocolate tears and Daddy Push finds a remote control car.
A LOT happens in this episode, but I will admit, this is my favourite ep so far! So much happens in one half an hour slot and it's amazing! You get to meet Secret Peter a lot more and this episode is so hard to explain, there's just so much that happens! Dondylion is fantastic, Sgt Boombox is fantastic and Noel get's threatened by a squirrel what more could you ask for on a Thursday night?!
I do miss Dolly and Andy Warhol in this episode though, but overall this episode is pretty funny! My favourite character- The Gash is back with Sgt Boombox which made me and a lot of other viewers happy! The Gash for those who don't know who he is, it the Sgt's knife wound who insults him.
If I had to rate this episode out of 5, I'd give this episode a 6! Zacky Purple on facebook says Luxury Comedy is 'Quite strange but very funny' which is true, @Fleurnoire11 on twitter said 'It played havoc with my senses with all the fresh madness and that's exactly why I loved it' and @SttopidarseJess says 'It was crazy this week. I loved the fast pace and although I missed Dolly and Andy, I loved the mix of characters! <3 Dondylion'
This episode was the most surreal episode yet, it's hard to put it into words, personally I blame ice cream eyes, but you should go watch it for yourself! If you haven't seen it yet and wish to see it click here to go to 4OD (UK readers only) and hopefully NickFromFulham has uploaded the new episode of Luxury Comedy on his youtube channel for all you international viewers!

The Jellyfox Meets the Fieldmouse

So I needed something interesting to write so I thought I'd tell you lovely readers about the time I met Noel Fielding. It was in October- October 15th to be exact and it was in Bonny Scotland (Sconny Botland as I call it). I had won 2 wristbands from the TVO competition which they held for the signing- he was promoting his new book 'The Scribblings of a Madcap Shambleton' and he'd decided to come do a signing in Edinburgh.
I was with my friend, Effy, and we'd woken up at 5am to get ready for a 2 hour train journey at 7! I was wearing grey skinnies, my knee high trainers, my pokemon top, a FAKE fur coat and a FAKE fur hat. I had also drawn whiskers on my face as well.
Me and Effy befriended 2 scottish girls, Rachael and Kerry who we stood at the front of the queue with, yes we were at the front and they'd told us they'd been waiting since 11pm! Anyway the doors of Urban Outfitters (where the signing was) opened at 11am and me and Effy got placed on the stairs, fairly near the front of the signing desk of which Noel will be sat at after he painted the window.
Me and Effy also got given a copy of Scribblings for winning the TVO comp which was amazing! Anyway at around quarter past 12 Noel and Dave emerged from the lower floor of the high street shop and EVERYONE screamed with delight! Noel was wearing his bright yellow 'I <3 art' onsie as seen in episode 2 of Luxury Comedy! Noel said 'I feel like a giant tellytubby' which made us giggle
He painted what I think was him and Dave attached to a plant pot, and then lot's of little boosh skeleton things at the bottom of the window, it looked like this.


Isn't it amazing?! I thought so when I saw it! Anyway once Noel and Dave had completed this amazing painting they left so Noel could clean up and have something to eat, everyone was beginning to become impatient until we heard a cheer from the people at the top of the stairs and the signing had began! By the time me and Effy had got to meeting Noel my eyes were streaming and I couldn't breathe! Noel even sat me in his chair to help me calm down which made me VERY happy indeed!
After I had calmed down I'd shown Noel my drawing iof 'Paul the Flamingo Horse' which he LOVED and I proposed to him with a bounty, he said yes of course. I recall him saying that I looked like a gone wrong huskey and that he thought I was cute and had an amazing fashion sense! Dave was really kind too! He gave out haribos to everyone and was geniunely nice to me when I was having my panic attack!
We also got a photo with Noel, we got told off for standing behind the desk and as I stood next to Noel I felt his warm breath against my neck as he whispered 'You broke the rules, but I don't mind, you're lovely' and so here is the photo

Me, Effy and Noel! (He wore that top on the episode of buzzcocks when they painted their faces;))
