Anyway - It sounds like I didn't give The IT Crowd much of a chance and now that I should.![]()
I've worked in factories that I've been so scared to sit in the canteen as a lone male - because of some of the conversations that I had to listen to.Made me wonder if they would be doing that if others were around, or just to get me to freak out!
The worst was when I went back to get an up-to-date maths qualification, a few years ago. Some of the things two young ladies in the classroom were reading aloud from Facebook... just made you think 'THAT can't be on the curriculum!!'

Yeah do it, it'll be a chuckle. IT crowd was another Graham Linehan success along with Father Ted I think.![]()
Same here. I used to work in a bakery as a teenager filling mince pies along with some older more mature women on machines, and may I say the language was blue at times with them being rather naughty whilst filling the cream horns & custard slices, and you know what, I've never touched a single horn or slice since that very day. I'm haunted by those memories in a way to the point that I have an aversion to entering Greggs.
I see there are episodes of The IT Crowd on You Tube; so I'll take a look and if I like, then I'll get a DVD of it.Are there any particular episodes to look out for? I'm sure you have a favourite or two, as most do with tv shows they enjoy and know well. It'd be great if you could name one that might be a good introduction for me. Same writer as FT, yes... he appeared in an episode of I'm Alan Partridge, along with his co-writer Arthur Mathews.
I bet just the fact that the produce was named in the way it was, was plenty to set their minds and mouths in overdrive!Good thing I'm on a diet, I recon - I don't have that worry.
I like Greggs just coz they do a cheap cuppa and will try not to remember this and involuntarily smile at the assistant, next time I call in.

The one I always used to get was when I worked in a chicken factory (I like to tell people I was employed there gluing beaks on etc. LOL) they used to say "I'm not being funny... but, it's fowl working there, or so I've heard."

My particular favourite IT crowd are as follows: Jen the Fredo, Italian for beginners, Moss the German, but to be honest I like em all.

I'd never work in a chicken factory due to my vegetarian beliefs (also I'm a committed 7th day advent calendar), but I'm more surprised or bemused that Chickens even had it in them to manufacture goods let alone be business minded in owning a factory? You learn a new thingy everyday. Also I'll never look at a chicken nugget again without admiration but will say a prayer at their place of worship Kentucky.
