    Seconded. It’d be interesting — wouldn’t it? — to track the growth of that partnership.

    Also, please explain the following term for the ignorant U.S. residents (by which I mean me):

  • It’s in my “big list of articles I need to write”. But it’s easier tossing off a shitty opinion piece than doing proper research. I will have a go at some point, though.

    The “Comedy Police” is what the cast used to call Rob and Doug – it’s mentioned in Robert’s The Man In The Rubber Mask.

  • Ah. That explains it. See, I’ve only ever been able to read things of Robert’s that he’s posted on his [expletive deleted] website. Seriously, I’ve tried getting books of his from the library; I think the librarian had to ask for an inter-library loan from British Columbia, in Canada. (And it never did arrive, either.)

    Maybe when they get back together.
