ncn is right, my rapunzelator works a treat apart from the squeaking when in use...

no, that is the basic model...

British Comedy is the best! And monty python, black adder are classics. I read the red dwarf books and I really enjoyed them.
Do you read?? If so I can recommend a couple of books which would leave you in stitches...

i dont read, i dont know how i am reading this.

i dont read something unless it has breasts on it, so i wait for the advertisment for the ukranian brides.

You might found something relevant to your interest in a v.d. brochure...

Well I did read before I started at university then we had so much "scientific" lecture that I sort of dropped it, just didn't had the energy to read in my spare time as well.
Now university is mostly over and I started a couple of books, Pratchett for example. But I must admit I never really thought of reading humorous books before (well besides comics like gary larson or calvin&hobbes :D).
So recommend me something, I am quite curious, if such books work for me.
I guess Red Dwarf books would really be a good start for me. Because I enjoyed the smegging series a lot.

Iain Banks.
Or... George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman books.

Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy, Restaurant at the end of the Universe, both by Douglas Adams. Robert Rankins' "Brentford Trilogy" were ok, if a bit hit and miss.

If you want a true British comedy or true sense of humour, although it requires a bit of understanding of British life styles (of a very certain kind) I strongly recommend all the books written by Tom Sharpe. Some of them are: The Throwback, Wilt, The Midden.

Another humorous British author but much much more old fashioned is P.G.Wodehouse which wrote 'Right Ho, Jeeves' and a few other books where you find 'Jeeves' in the title.

Pratchett is also good but fantasy, while Tom Sharpe is as 'real' as it gets.

What he says. Wodehouse and Sharpe are very good.

Others I consider to be some of the greatest British humourists are, Saki (witty and macabre), Oscar Wilde (genius), Ivor Cutler (absurd Scotsman), Jerome K. Jerome (very whimsical), Hugh Laurie (another genius, no matter what format).

Also contrary to popular belief, there is an understanding of satire and irony in North America! These guys rock my world too. Stephen Leacock, Ogden Nash, P. J. O'Rourke and of course Cecil Adams (The Straight Dope). I know they aren't Brits, but they are very British in their humour.

the fry & laurie Jeeves & Wooster tv series based on the Wodehouse books was an excellent adaptation i thought

well indeed, sir.

I found recently that Alexei Sayle is well worth reading. Dark.

I did check out some of the series in the last days. I very much liked Black books and after checking out Bit of Fry and Laurie I must say I did laugh tears while watching this sketch:



Of course there are others that are good as well. But haven't seen all of it yet and some sketches are not so easy for me to understand (well my english vocabulary sucks).
