Phil & Krusty Back on Our Screens

I couldn't finish watching it. The two are self serving, condescending, patronising people. How they ever persuaded anyone to let them make this 90 minute programme to allow them even more of a forum for self-aggrandisement I don't know!

So good I said it twice - well no, it was in fact a blip!

So what happens after withdrawal from Iraq? Obama has stated quite clearly that he want's his army completely out in the the near future, so the UK is hardly going to maintain a military presence with out the US, is it? Won't the military have too many men and women on the payroll once that happens? Aren't soldiers usually demobbed following the end of a war?

I have no idea, btw, I'm just curious.

The media have stated that the MOD will have to make cutbacks and the potential for withdrawal from Iraq as stated by the Defence Minister recently would probably reduce MOD spending by a significant amount.

The armed forces are ludicrously over-stretched at the moment, and once Iraq is done and dusted (which I'm certain will take a while) there is still Afghanistan going to hell in an Allied-made handbasket.

The Teignmouth bungalow is still for sale at £179,950 even though Phil said the owner had decided to rent it out.

It doesn't look particularly good for invalid / illness access, with all those steep steps up to the front door.

That bungalow would have suddenly become a big nightmare for some families I've known where someone has unexpectedly suffered to serious injury / illness / or developed things like MS ect. Sorry.. but I consider such things carefully right at the start when viewing houses - if it wasn't mentioned in the show.

The Allies will find out the hard way like the Russians in Afghanistan, you can win a war against an enemy but not an ideology.

Absolutely - the massive might of the Russian army couldn't dent the surface of Afganistan. The Americans - forgetting the lessons they should have learnt in Vietnam - believed they could do the trick!

Is that near St. Reatham, Ba-terse-ia, and Barm? (Streatham, Battersea, and Balham)

Battersea was also known (by idiots) as South Chelsea. As in Saaaf Chelsea Dogs 'ome.

I also heard the Isle of Dogs called the Isle des Chiens.

Everyone should put their comments on;

not many comments up there including mine from earlier today ... maybe Krusty and Bill have been hard at work massaging the comments seems like only a handful have got through. Or maybe Channel 4 have thought wait on the public have cottoned on to the fact that these two ar a pair of overpaid morons, and have booted there sorry !!!!!$ out.

Maybe someone should post one saying how informative they were and that they were the best thing since sliced bread, etc, and see if that gets on. I can't face the thought of it though, maybe someone else could try it
