I do, but about as funny as a kick in the mush

That can be arranged

Happy to receive if not endure Stan!

I am with Icy on Boardman. Not funny. Generally a bit apprehensive of "comedy" as lot of comedians are more rude than funny and don't seem to have much to say apart from below the belt jokes. Lot of things are happening in the world, but they seem to be just uneducated or cater for uneducated audience, going on and on about the boozer, the missus etc. Not many people will notice the difference between one or the other. Eddie Izzard rocks though, and I am trying not to miss his shows. This guy os both funny and clever and doesn't insult people's intelligence.
