Is it "I'm as interesting as celery, get me out of here!"

John said...

It isn't, but that's a good guess. I can see where you're coming from. Not that I've ever watched it.

Battlestar Galactica

John said...

You Googled!!

Will said...

Well you should have checked whether it was online man!

John said...

You're not supposed to get the answer. You're meant to make witty guesses, like the other contestants above.

You're new here, aren't you?

Will said...

Hight. Let's strat again and pretend I didn't get it.

was it Teeside Tin Tin?

John said...

That's better.

Sounds like Sid the Sexist's brother.

Now I suppose we'll have some mackem on claiming I've insulted Teeside.

No, wait, that's Sunderland. What are Teesiders? Monkey-hangers?

Martin said...

Is it Battlestar Galactica?

I didn't google it.

Will said...

Teessiders are 'smog-monsters' or 'smoggies' - Hartlepudlians are 'monkey-hangers' or 'guacamoleans' (I made that last bit up).

John said...

Mart--

You're very close. Are you sure you didn't Google it?

Will--

Are they really called Hartlepudlians, or did you make that up as well?

Will said...

That Martin's good isn't he? I would never have guessed that one. He must be one of them film buffs or something I reckon. Like that Jonathon Ross fellow.

Hartlepudlians - guessed it.

Monkey hanging bastards will usually suffice tho

John said...

Ha ha ha. Did you write that, Will?

Will said...

No - I'm talentless.

Monkey hanging is nowt compared to Elephants mind you:

You're not talentless. I've just had a look at the new Inveresk Street. Far too classy for the SPGBs.
