    Contrived nicknames used in sports marketing. I've just watched The Ace In The Pack beat The Hawk, as no-one ever said. What a load of old rubbish.

    Spot on this, it’s not like a football team - surely you pick the best option for yourself & the climate the Country finds itself in at the time

    Yeah but remember, if you put a funny enough meme up on social media, you can easily sway someone’s political opinion.

    I'd love to say I think what you said is bollocks but given this country voted to elect Johnson as a leader I cannot

    He may well be really funny, but I will never know because I can’t watch him for long enough to listen to anything he says.
    I simply can’t bear him and his fucking awful stage persona. Makes my shit itch.

    He isn't. Lowest common denominator comedy for the undiscerning masses.
    (I appreciate comedy is very subjective, and my opinion is just an opinion. Also that when it comes to comedy I am an insufferable snob.)

    Tesco no longer doing free little bags to put your loose produce in. I was quite happy with the little paper ones. Now they want to sell you a plastic mesh bag for 30p, a bag that you know you'd never remember to take with you next time and have to buy again and again.
    Fuck em, they can scan every item individually. How's that worked out for you, Tesco?

    The opposite end of the spectrum is probably Stewart Lee. I'd rather stick rusty nails in my **** than watch that insufferable twat.

    Unsurprisingly, he's my favourite by a distance. But I completely get what you're saying.
    I think MacIntyre is very good at what he does, it just leaves me cold.

    I can’t even watch a chat show if he’s on it. If I see he’s on any programme I’m watching, my reflex reaction is “Oh ffs not this c**t”.
    I watch Big Fat Quiz Of The Year every year, but switched off the one he was on after no more than five minutes.
    There’s just something about him that I find intolerable. He’s creepy and smug and just strikes me as a bit of a wanker.

    It’s my problem and my prejudice, and I’ll own that. But at the end of the day, I’d rather nail my cock to the table than listen to him.

    I don't disagree with you, though in his act at least these aspects are deliberately exaggerated. 

    If comedians were beer MacIntyre would be Carling. Lee would be some sort of sour craft ale that you'd drink to reinforce a beery sense of superiority over those that don't 'get it', even though in reality it may simply just not be very nice at all.

    I think Stewart Lee may be a regular contributor to the "Beer" thread.

    Flat pack furniture.

    Building a cabin bed and this piece

    Is a mm or two too wide for the place that it's supposed to slot in past.

    So now on about p40 of 64 page instructions, I've got two halves of a cabin bed that won't fit together, and I need to either file that part down, take it off and find something else to support the desk part, or take it all apart again.

    I don't mind MacIntyre, he does not grate on me like he does on some of you. But Stewart Lee is in a class of his own, I understand that some won't get it, and like Lee himself, I bathe in the glorious sense of superiority that gives me...   ;)  :D

    I don't mind Michael McIntyre, but he does strike me as a bit 'stand up comedian by numbers', like a comedian version of an actor who says all the right lines, smiles at the right time etc but there's no flair or depth to it.

    It’s a funny thing with comedians - I think it’s easy to be swayed by an initial impression and if that goes badly, they’re forever tainted in your mind as being bad.
    There are a few comedians (eg Chris Ramsey, Nish Kumar) that I don’t like but, like McIntyre, I have no idea if they’re actually any good because if I see them on tv, I immediately get turned off mentally and it’s very difficult to find a comedian funny when you’ve already decided they’re not going to be.
    It’s something I’d like to change in myself (and maybe this is the “general thing that annoys me”) because I have great respect for comedians, the wit and imagination they have and the guts it takes to get on stage the way they do.
    But it’s really difficult to find a comedian funny when your starting point is pretty much saying “Go on then wanker, see if you can make me laugh”

    Maybe I’ll give one of them a go. See if I can go into it with an open mind.

    A bloke that has had his day. On a scale of Ken Dodd or Bob Monkhouse, Michael McIntyre wouldn't even get out of the traps IMO.

    Stewart Lee is fucking brilliant. The best. I went recently to his Basic Lee at Leicester Square. I was in pain it was so funny. A great bit destroying Fleabag.

    how anyone cannot find him funny I don’t know or to at least “agree the fuck out of it”

    as for his recent shows he.s on fire.

    not only racists voted for Brexit, no. ………Cunts did as well

    as for Macintyre, I would never get tired of punching him in the face.
