Sample: Roger's long-suffering producer Tom is telling the head of the watchdog committee that the budget for children's and religious programming is up by 10%. Roger immediately bursts in with, "Hey Tom, I've got a great idea for a new game show. It's called Up Your Cunt!!!"<br />Great song Davy, hope all is well with you.So It Goeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14055190385945516115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-23764048846006644452010-11-21T18:20:29.594+00:002010-11-21T18:20:29.594+00:00For anyone who's the slightest bit interested,...For anyone who's the slightest bit interested, here's another titbit from the story of Viz comic ....<br /><br />The comic was reprimanded by the United Nations after featuring a strip called 'The Thieving Gypsy B******s'. During the resulting court case, UK newspaper The Sun ran a story revealing that the principal Romany who initiated the action against them, was in fact also being tried for (and was later found guilty of) handling stolen property. Viz then later ran a short strip called "The Nice, Honest Gypsies", featuring a kindly Gypsy woman selling pegs door-to-door and helpfully returning forgotten change!dickvandykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590436106154960912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-35833970263522839632010-11-19T22:04:08.308+00:002010-11-19T22:04:08.308+00:00Shurely DICK's still got time for a STIFF ONE ...Shurely DICK's still got time for a STIFF ONE before closing, eh readers?davyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704293846638226252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-82496898544745915252010-11-19T21:56:48.115+00:002010-11-19T21:56:48.115+00:00Ahaa.

There I be.<br /><br />Just spent 2 hours with Simon Donald - co-founder of Viz magazine - talking bout his days as a teenager in a bedroom in Newcastle starting a sweary comic 'for boys aged 16-25'. From old typewriter and carbon paper and stitching pages together, it sold 1.2 million or something at its peak. <br /><br />The suits in London at IPC magazines turned them down in the early days, cos did they know Sid The Sexist was a chauvanist, and Roger Logic called his penis a 'penis' rather than some comedy name.<br /><br />Just the 4 pints of Timothy Taylor Landlord hand-pulled for me tonight (fnar fnar).dickvandykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590436106154960912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-17052417905269224432010-11-19T21:03:01.616+00:002010-11-19T21:03:01.616+00:00I don't think I'm familiar with his work b...I don't think I'm familiar with his work but I'm sure the lights were nice.davyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704293846638226252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-31456455072923022402010-11-19T20:58:44.764+00:002010-11-19T20:58:44.764+00:00bloody predictive text input thingy on my phone......bloody predictive text input thingy on my phone....<br /><br />Crimbo lights switched on by Gary From Eastenders who is in panto in Bath.<br /><br />Excitement.
