Yes Minster.
What was that Ricky? No I wasn't agreeing with you, I was talking about the TV show.
Look over here.
What? Of course it has. It's had lots of BAFTAs.
Eh? Well, it's sort of a documentary on the British Civil Service, so it's go to be very silly. For example (snaffled from the Wikipedia entry linked to above):
Quote:
Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: the Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; and The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it already is.
Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?
Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

What? What do you mean you're not talking to me and that you are a figment of my imagination? Hmmm. So does that mean if I get a marginal organisation to recognize me, I can become eligible? Why are you shaking you're imaginary head like that?
Oh. And The Princess Bride. And if it hasn't won anything, I hearby, retrospectively award it the LazyScot Silliness Award for Being Inconceivably Good.
