So Vakk is pronounced "Vake", not "Vack?"

FL doing her best imitation of the newspaper funnies icon Cathy: "AAAAAACK!"

"Slakka" was a polite 90s term for opiated young pseuds with bad taste in music and a desperate desire to be considered hip.

Ah, OK!

"Shake and Vak!"

So I see!

What a relief that I was right about the pronunciation after all.

Here in America, we have a dreadful processed food product named "Shake 'n Bake." puke Thus the confusion.

Brin: Nah, nah, nah, nah Ayla. You're not getting me. It's like I could leave here, and you know...fly.
Ayla: Yes, they're called Flight Rings, Brin.
Brin: Nah, nah, nah, nah. I mean.. I mean that I could leave me here and still travel... as me...but joining others...
Ayla: You're not from Cargg Brin. Honestly. If you keep this up I'm trading you in for Karth Arn. I swear I will.
Brin: But...but you don't swear, 'cause you're sooo.... nice >giggle< >collapse<
Ayla: I didn't realise he was a lone wolf because none of the others could stand him...

That's our Ayla, a little slow on the uptake, but once she gets it, no one understands it more clearly!

'Ullo Ulu, got a new show?

Nah mate. It's that Alexei Bloke. You hang around calling yourself surreal long enough and suddenly you're the "godfather of alternative comedy." Or a you're eaten by a swarm of bicycle clips. But 50/50 is worth going for in this day and age, mate.

Good luck on listening to this outside the UK, but it's Alexei's Imaginary Sandwich shop. He spends the first part of the show talking about the lengths he'd go to in order to pretend that his spare room was really occupied.

In one of the shows Alexei was talking about the 1980s and he got started on benefit gigs he did at the end of the decade. He tells his audience that he got to meet Nelson Mandela once at one of them. Nerves got the better of Alexei, and he was stuck for something to say. Nelson, being such a diplomat, said "I can't believe it's been eight years since you released "Ullo John Gotta A New Motor.*"


*This may not have happened. Hopefully not me listening to it. That would be a bit of a worry, having pretend comedy routines of alternative comedians going through my head.

But I definitely didn't imagine remembering this thread and smiling. I think.

Watch carefully as thoth lad, without net or sleeves or having met any of the audience previously attempts to combine the Alexei Sayle posts, the 1980's advertising campaign posts *and*, yes *and* the Ian Dury & the Blockheads posts from above.... drums please.... that's it...nice one...






I thank you.

Maybe Ulu took a time bubble to pre-Revolutionary France and helped Marie Antoinette invent fun new colors! (She seriously did invent new colors)

Ulu being blinded was arguably a fate worse than Marie's.

Poor Marie, she was a winner who became a doggie's dinner...oh, hang on a minute, wrong Marie.

Marie Antoinette was a head of her time. smile

There was the follow up where Marie's head on a giant robot body started the second French Revolution. Ironically, it all started from a growing resentment over Jacques Foccart's accent, and he isn't even French! It was arguably one of Ulu's great moments, when he changed all of the revolutionaries flags to white, and they all gave up.

Oh, yes, I recall that Marie Antoinette robot story. Mark Millar wrote it, which was at least the second time he ripped off something from Walter Simonson's Fantastic Four run -- Walter had had Stalin's head on a robot's body. (FTR, Millar really did rip off Walter's FF -- in the first few pages of Millar's FF run, they steer a runaway locomotive through space and time. Just like Walter had them doing back in 1991. Oh, Millar, Millar, how short on fresh ideas you truly are.)
