The cause of his death was officially diagnosed as typhoid fever, though other theories have been proposed, including the tertiary stage of syphilis.[60]

that would explain why the current incarnation of deems/schubert no longer drinks from stagnant ponds or visits viennese houses of ill repute

Which in turn explains my having outlived.
Still, you die and learn eh

idk what all counts. yr porridge and yr steptoe and son and yr yes ministers all had somethin but i dig right through to arrested development or boosh or conchords if they all count.
im not a fr ted fanatic but i have a sense of ownership of it that makes it that bit more dear to me.
Rossiter of course is peerless. Hmmm. Good question.

what is your favourite album by a band
― Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 23:44 (ten years ago) link
Oof something appalingly indie i guess, i dont rly have a favourite 'album' by 'a band' tho or at least i havent in a dozen years
― james lipton and his francs (darraghmac), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 23:49 (ten years ago) link
I am never surprised when darraghmac appears in a thread as The Voice of Reason. Nor am I surprised when he appears in a thread armed with spitballs and a wicked aim. He has that kind of versatility.

You're the 1st person to mention rossiter! Prob the best "canon" choice

The agonies of morgan, rossiter, corbett all seem of a type to me

yeah, altho arguably Steptoe is less of a heel than the other two

Eh his sins mirror teds in many ways i think, the prideful yen for escape of purgatorially dull company to an alternative more feared than the staying
― james lipton and his francs (darraghmac), Wednesday, 30 April 2014 12:39 (ten years ago) link
ah but don't forget Ted isn't above the odd bit of embezzlement, more or less lethal disregard for the needs of others etc

Ted's and Rigsby's respective Hells feel more of their own making, Harold's is more arbitrary maybe
― you poll a lot, but you're not saying anything (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 30 April 2014 12:41 (ten years ago) link
sorry, "of their own making" as in appropriate punishment for their sins
Perrin a different beast obv and more of a horror performance at times for that
xp those daybyday throwaway tedisms are more satires of the irish political class than core characteristic imo
― james lipton and his francs (darraghmac), Wednesday, 30 April 2014 12:43 (ten years ago) link
The sins, purgatory, guilt, punishment catholicism (tho obv perrin couldnt be much more coe) aspects run deep through all in any case and prob draw me deeper in than other sitcom examples
― james lipton and his francs (darraghmac), Wednesday, 30 April 2014 12:45 (ten years ago) link
Ted is really beholden to The Third Policeman in a bunch of ways i think
― you poll a lot, but you're not saying anything (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 30 April 2014 12:54 (ten years ago) link
Im sure if i knew enough about dante the other two would suggest similar parallels but yeah tonally and everything else ted is permeated with the anguish of the surreal and the impossible mundane

We must face facts. Deems, although we may love him as much as any man this side of idolatry, has little latin and less greek. Takes him down a peg or two.

idk do I like an entire album. I'd struggle to pick five I'd bother to take to a desert island.

the aul fella used to have Latin got him nowhere has Irish got him nowhere had Norwegian got him to Norway didnt bother with Dutch despite living there for years I said I'd stick with French and English they were forcing me to learn those but at least they didn't claim I had a moral duty to love em unlike with the gaeilge

the posh school on the island still did Latin as of 99 which is just lunacy imho
