bluekarin Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowlbird Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurmurf Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 i too came across them by accident (channel hopping)think they are VERY funny would recomend the one with "old greg" in 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fowlbird Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
