Family Guy before it was Family Guy

'Larry & Steve' from 1996, before there was Family Guy


A later pilot.


A fascinating comparison of some early Larry and late Family Guy extracts.

The worst family photo ever?

If not the worst ever family photo, shall we agree it is very disturbing?

Brotherly love - Miliband style

I read in The Telegraph that despite Ed Miliband saying that he expected to spend Christmas with David and adding that "no peacekeeping forces will be needed", his older brother has managed to flee the country. As The Telegraph says:

'Ed’s comments about how he evisaged spending Christmas with David, whom he narrowly beat to the Labour leadership, suggest the two are so estranged that they have little, if any, idea about each other’s plan'

I wonder if Ed & David Miliband's Christmas lunch would have been explosive as Ed & Will Grundy's is lining up to be?

The Telegraph reminds us that 'The Milibands were once so close that they would gather with their families each Sunday for lunch.' - Alas, no more; shame!

Men bad, women good - pushing the feminist agenda

The BBC love to push the "men are bad, women are good" meme and here they go again. Apparently:

" Sisters spread happiness while brothers breed distress, experts believe.

Researchers quizzed 571 people aged 17 to 25 about their lives and found those who grew up with sisters were more likely to be happy and balanced. "

Speaking for myself; I have no sister but do have one brother, he is a total and utter c**t and I wouldn't even waste the urine or the time to piss on him if he was on fire.

Hmm maybe there is something in that research after all...

The Breakdown of Family Life

"Without being in any way over dramatic or alarmist my prediction would be, looking back and seeing where we have come from and projecting forward on the present trajectory, that the effects of family breakdown on the life of the nation and ordinary people in this country will, within the next 20 yrs be as marked and as destructive as the affects of global warming. We are experiencing a period of family meltdown whose effects will be as catastrophic as the meltdown of the ice caps. For what is the point of pouring resources into the physical protection of society if its mental health is so damaged and undermined that life for many is so miserably unhappy that it is hardly worth living anyway."

Read the rest of a speech by Mr Justice Coleridge to the Resolution National Conference on 5 April 2008 here and weep at what this country has become and where it is heading.

"It is a never ending carnival of human misery. A ceaseless river of human distress."
