cheeky boy Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Just watching "Pale Rider" on ITV4 Can't help noticing the similarity between "The Outlaw Josey Wales" "High Planes Drifter" etc and the plot of Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsey: Stranger arrives in town to find everything fucked up and under control of an incompetent megalomaniac Shows the residents how to cope for themselves and leaves them to it They make a bollocks of it He comes back and makes everyone realise that they are shite without him Sound familiar ?

Mission Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Kitchen Nightmares is superb and most definitely an untapped source of supreme comedy moments. Next weeks ep will deliver this classic line (unless it gets cut - was in the preview anyway):- "you just can't go running around like Shrek in a frock" The guy's a legend - I love watching him on television (well, apart from the shite US show he's done to cash in on his F Word franchise (he's still ace of course, it's the septic chefs and narrator that suck hoop).

Minxie Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Next weeks ep will deliver this classic line (unless it gets cut - was in the preview anyway):- Or last week's "it looks like King Kong's condom" over a soggy yorkshire pudding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ai_Droid Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Tis a bit of a swizz when they do things 'gordons way' and suddenly the resteraunt is chocca. The resteraunt is chocca because Gordons there, not for any other reason. Still, ace show, but why hasn't anyone smacked him yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Still, ace show, but why hasn't anyone smacked him yet? Probably cos they know he'll lay back into them pretty hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no prude but the gratuitous use of the words "fuck/fucking" which litter every of his sentences tends to lose their effect and is a turn off for me. Shame because it's a good concept for a TV programme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame because it's a good concept for a TV programme I reckon it gets used more in one day on the forum than in a whole series of the F Word / Kitchen Nightmares. So unless you have the likes of Droid, hboy and cheeky boy on ignore, you must find it awfully dificult reading anything on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonan3 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Word History: The obscenity fuck is a very old word and has been considered shocking from the first, though it is seen in print much more often now than in the past. Its first known occurrence, in code because of its unacceptability, is in a poem composed in a mixture of Latin and English sometime before 1500. The poem, which satirizes the Carmelite friars of Cambridge, England, takes its title, "Flen flyys," from the first words of its opening line, "Flen, flyys, and freris," that is, "fleas, flies, and friars." The line that contains fuck reads "Non sunt in coeli, quia gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk." The Latin words "Non sunt in coeli, quia," mean "they [the friars] are not in heaven, since." The code "gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk" is easily broken by simply substituting the preceding letter in the alphabet, keeping in mind differences in the alphabet and in spelling between then and now: i was then used for both i and j; v was used for both u and v; and vv was used for w. This yields "fvccant [a fake Latin form] vvivys of heli." The whole thus reads in translation: "They are not in heaven because they fuck wives of Ely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
