Boothby Graffoe replies…

Filed under: General, Is it just me... — joe @ 12:28 pm

I had a bit of moan about Boothby Grafoe about a month back and he’s repsonded – seems the poor guy is very angry:

no, joe, it’s not just you, it’s countless others like you who have nothing better to do than moan about stuff that in the grand scheme of things mean about as much as you. But there’re countless others again who like my work, and to be honest so what? Try to relax, mate. If you want to write letters U Win Tin is in gaol in Mayanmar for no particular reason, you could write to them and ask if he could be let out. I’m glad I irritate you. It’s wot I was born to do you pointless, thoughtless, talentless wanker.

sincere regards,

boothby graffoe

Seems I’m not the only one who who doesn’t rate his stuff much:

Joe

As it happens I agree with you here. I love Radio 4 comedy on the whole- some of it is utterly brilliant (the Boosch, the Consultants, Dead Ringers) but like you I feel that Boothby Graffoe has more of a “radio 2″ feel about his humour. I didn’t find his reply to you very funny either.

Mark Kermode’s film reviews

Filed under: Podcasting — joe @ 1:02 pm

I’ve been listending to Mark Kermode’s film reviews from the podcast for the last couple of months and they really are fantastic. Often Mark’s reviews are actually more entertaining than the films themselves.

Yahoo! Podcasts

Filed under: Listen online, Podcasting — joe @ 1:13 pm

Yahoo! have just announced a new podcast directory – parts of it have a passing resenblance to 43 Things.
It’s very American in focus but it looks like it has some interesting stuff. It certainly is easier on the eye than ipodder or Podcast.net.
