Rob Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I think The Office will end up like Fawlty Towers, it's cringeworthy now, but will be hilarious in the future. Like Alan Partridge, I used to find the character sad and pathetic, and rather uncomfortable to watch, but now watching the repeats it's really funny.

Willson Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 History today lol RN: Well the Industrial Revolution caused a shift to urban conurbations by what had been largely agrarian population and communities and so forth. This led to very poor living conditions and in his journal Samuel Pepys gives a particularly harrowing account of one man, whom he describes thus: {reads from book} 'He had scurvy and rickets and was covered from head to foot in festering sores. All in all he was quite the most ghastly apparition of a man I had ever seen.' DB: I see. Who exactly was this poor unfortunate? RN: {slowly turns the page} That's you, that is. That's the nicest thing he could find to say about you. DB: I see. See that M. Khan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
