Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[bluekarin]

Last night my ED school had a talent show (SW Got Talent), which I took my YD to. It was a mix of lots of variously talented girls doing all sorts from tap to singing, magic etc. Two older girls were playing The Mighty Boosh during stage set ups and they were really very funny. My ED hadn't seen them before so I showed her a bit of their Secret Policeman's ball sketch on You Tube (forgot it had a swear word in it bad mum). Afterwards she went upstairs and told the other two about it and I have just, in my living room, had their version of The Pie sketch! Hilarious

[fowlbird]

I have no idea what you're talking about (I lead a very sheltered life) so it would have been useful if you'd posted the youtube link...

 

please....

[bluekarin]

I would, but it's got swearing in it and in the comments posted so I would get this topic deleted. I'll PM it to you if you like. They aren't to everyone's taste, it just made me laugh that the kids liked it so much that they had to re-enact it

My girls love the Boosh,but I am afraid that I just don't get it at all.

Shame,because I like Noel Fiedling a lot, & think he ia really cute,but I just don't 'get' The Boosh

The Secret Policeman's ball is where I first encountered them. I tried watching the programme, but it was just to dry for me. I love their stage show stuff though. And Noel Fielding is just lovely

Isn't he though?

Such a gorgeous smiley man

 

Devon has heaps of Boosh related gubbins in her stocking this year

They especially like the soup song ,which drives me bananas.

I forgot about the Soup Song

 

"Miso, Miso"

[Cinnamon]

STOP!!!

 

I literally cannot walk down the tinned goods ailse in Tesco with my girls any more, as they break out into song & it drives me mad

 

There is one about Eels too I think............................

[bluekarin]

I won't sing any more

 

I don't think I have seen that one *off to check it out now*

 

I think they are really inventive and have come out with some really daft but original stuff. I quite like Flight of The Conchords for that too.

You shuld go to the Boosh Fest next year

You don't fancy taking a couple of teenage girls with you,do you?

erm . . . I think I'll pass

Does look quite good. Frankie Boyle is playing there I see. He is funny, if a bit close to the knuckle sometimes on Mock The Week.

[Cinnamon]

That was this year,but apparantly it was good, & a huge success, so it will be on again next year.

It is also mooted to be one of the safest festivals around

[twopoke]

i too came across them by accident (channel hopping)

think they are VERY funny

would recomend the one with "old greg" in

I had a quick look. It's a bit bizarre Where on earth do they get their ideas from

[Egluntyne]

I don't get them at all, in fact I find them repulsive and creepy.

 

Good job we are all different!

I think its probably best not to ask.............................

We have 'old greg' sitting at the dinner table with us almost every night - my teen girls love the Boosh as well - snorting and snarking away like mad (and, like yours Cinnamon, singing the soup song regularly). I can't say I 'get' them much but I do love Noel Fielding!

[Cinnamon]

I have bought Devon a 'put away those firey biscuits' badge for her stocking.

I have no idea what it means,but Cleo assures me that she will love it

 

There is a Boosh book under the tree for her too, & a Boosh necklace I found on ebay.

 

What is it about Noel Fielding that is so appealing,do you think?

He is nice looking in a slightly odd sort of way,but I reckon its just that he smiles all the time & looks like he is a lot of fun to be around

My favourite is Old Gregg.

so next time I'm wandering through there and I hear singing I'll know you're nearby?

 

I hadn't heard of The Mighty Boosh before but thanks to a PM from BK I now have a chance to 'get in to them'... I did find them funny but had this sneaking feeling that perhaps I shouldn't? I'll have to start googling them just as soon as the xmas decs are sorted

I love the Boosh and am proud to say that Julian Barrett has tried my homemade banana carrot rosemary cake and found it to his liking.

 

I accosted him with it in a pub.

[fowlbird]

we just had a lovely spicy soup for lunch

I love the Boosh and am proud to say that Julian Barrett has tried my homemade banana carrot rosemary cake and found it to his liking

did you know he'd be there or do you always carry cake just in case? Is there a recipe?

[A chickychickychick-ENN!!]

We stumbled on him and everyone was encouraging me to talk to him because they were too shy. I hadn't seen the Boosh at that point. He was very gracious and we bought him wine and fags and shared his table and discussed Kubrick and arty stuff. He's a very nice chap.

 

There are/were a handful of pubs you can find him in regularly in London if you like the scrag end of bar. Not sure how much he goes out post-twins, but he is known to like a drink.

 

The recipe is a bog standard carrot loaf cake, but add bananas, cinnamon, vanilla essence, use OJ instead of water, lots of rosemary, and if you like - choc chips. It's a messed up carrot loaf. But the rosemary is what takes it from good to amazing.

[fowlbird]

post twins?

 

thanks for the instructions re cake... dried rosemary?

[crazygal]

hmmm I could have seen them at The Big Chill Fest but kiddies were asleep.....

 

memo to self- bring along some friends (aka babysitters) next time
