Also does anyone from Ireland watch Hardy Bucks. Seeing as Irish comedy shows usually suck (I don't count Father Ted as an Irish comedy show) I thought this one was surprisingly good.

Re: Take Me Out

Hiya. Take Me Out's ok... I would rate it 7/10. I'm not like those people (probably you - as you said it is brilliant) who rush to go and watch it even if they are, say, in the middle of a close game on Apterous. I just watch it if I have time, and most of the time just finish off a game on Apterous...
