    I hope Melanie wasn't unfaithful like Carol, Alan's first (and only) wife!


    " I first got wind of Carol’s infidelity when she came home from the gym wearing a pair of black Asics cycling shorts after having gone out wearing blue Adidas ones. Also, the Asics pair were for men. Suddenly, things that had seemed innocent, the snazzy new hairdo, the packet of condoms in her glovebox, reported sightings of her in nightclubs with a man, started to collect in my craw. What was she up to? I began to keep a diary."

    He should have taken her to a cracking owl sanctuary.

    neither did I, I couldn't care less really. I posted it for the replies to the news, not the actual news itself.

    Regarding the list of exes someone posted, Courtney Love...that was a surprise.

    Her next boyfriend should get ready for a phone call about Top Gear’s review of the Renault Megane.

    Which is your favourite Glen Ponder house band name!?:

    Chalet
    Savoir Faire
    Lazarus
    Chalet
    Debonair
    Ferrari

    Would have to go with Debonair myself!

    I think calling the band Lazarus when Glen came back the week after he was sacked was genius.

    This Time with Alan Partridge starts on RTE Two tomorrow at 9pm.

    Can't believe it's been a year since it was on BBC.

    "Monkey Tennis was later snapped up by TV stations in Laos and Taiwan and ran for two successful years, after which the format reached the end of its natural life and the monkeys were quickly and humanely destroyed."

    This Time was absolute ****e and Partridge is done. As I predicted when it was on initially, nobody will be quoting this series in the years to come. Without Armando Iannucci around, the quality control is out the window. Coogan and the Gibbons bros are treating Alan sympathetically, but he is a monster and needs to be permanently punished :pac: I can't remember anything about the series apart from Martin Brennan, and that was hardly top-drawer Partridge.

    I enjoyed This Time and am pleased it's coming back. Hopefully a return for Martin Brennan in some capacity too.
