Is that an ironic positive or an unironic negative?
I will be endeavouring to watch but my success rate for the Culture Show this season has been about as successful as the last one (despite now being on their mailing list)
Sorry, it's just that Cloud and I always associate this phrasing with how we imagine my friend's mum would respond if a certain movie star ever turned up on her doorstep. That rather takes all the intended irony out of the phrase...

Am I just too inept?
We do too much irony here.
This one is decidedly unironic.
