true, unfortunately there are few positive things to balance the HOLY
sh.t moments
you don't live in america, you don't know what it's like, it's worse
than you have heard

no, i only discovered gervais/the office/etc a week or so ago. they
need to make an episode of the office in which the boss pulls consumer
credit reports on all his employess and fires the ones who don't pay

If someone said "I like to listen to alternative music, because I'm an
alternative person" to me I'd be in hysterics. In hindsight it's pretty
terrible, but, well, I'd still laugh.

Hey, we have a NASCAR drive-around-in-circles equivalent here which
differs chiefly in that the track is made of /mud/ rather than asphalt.
Surely that entitles me to a considerable amount of guaranteed empathy?

The last free episode is here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/rickygervais
The first 11 shouldn't be too hard to track down.
Anyway, they're brilliant — mostly unscripted interaction between
Gervais, Stephen Merchant (Gervais's co-writer on The Office) and their
former radio producer Karl Pilkington, who's an endless source of
drivel, dangerous opinion and unintentional lollery.
