I grew up on a diary farm. And it wasn't carrots and cabbages that we ferried about in wheelbarrows

Well yes: bloody heavy some diaries - especially if multiple year ones

That'll be one of them strange Somerset accents you've developed? It's dairy where I'm from

- watch The IT Crowd
- go on a course with management or IT in the title
- connect with your inner geek
- make sure you own a filofax and a pda
- learn to play golf
- lose all your friends

Good luck!!!

- watch The IT Crowd

Until I watched the clips you mentioned, I thought you meant to watch people in IT and do what they do !!?!
Is IT Crowd a series in the UK? It's brilliant!

 

[Domski]

Looks like it has been shown in the states and they thought about making a US version:

It is a great show ... I wasn't too keen when it started but I think it's got better and better...

My all-time favourite clip has to be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2-hNO392_E those that have seen the episode in question (re: Street Countdown) will be amused ... those that haven't might not "get it".

I'm with Cindy
That is so funny.
I haven't seen it here in Aus yet !!

 

[Domski]

I've only ever seen a few episodes, always made me giggle when I did though.
