Nuts in May

[ChiangMai noon]

My comedy epiphany.

Absolutely hilarious.

1976 British tv.

television at it's hilarious best.

Have searched for this movie for years.

Was so surprised to find the torrent on "the box"

Nuts in May (aka Play for Today: Nuts in May) is a 1976 film written and directed by Mike Leigh, originally broadcast as part of the BBC's Play for Today series. It is the comical story of a nature-loving and rather self-righteous couple's exhausting battle to enjoy what they perceive to be the idyllic camping holiday. Misunderstandings, awkward clashes of values and, inevitably, explosive conflicts are the uncomfortable scenarios that occur when more open-minded and fun-loving guests pitch their tents nearby.

This version features an introduction to the play by Mike Leigh himself from a series of Play for Today repeats broadcast by Channel Four in the 1980s.

wanted to increase my ratio before downloading any more, but if they ban me, at least I'll have nuts in May in the bag.

^ I loved Nuts in May. My favourite line was from Keith, something like:

"Ooh, look. There's a car going down the B1257."

[ChiangMai noon]

It is superb isn't it.

I'm hoping one of those "the box" members will see your recommendation and leech it off me thereby getting the best British comedy of all time and improving my drastically diminishing ratio at the same time.

i have been reduced to downloading Hollyoakes this morning in order to upload it.

[ChiangMai noon]

I'll get a copy to you as soon as it's downloaded benners.

could one of the box members please leech it off me?

you won't regret it.

[Marmite the Dog]

^ Do you still need a leecher for that?

If so, can you leech 'Great Designs - Trade Secrets' from me?

[ChiangMai noon]

what's it about?

thetyim and Nick took me up past a 1 ratio on nuts in May.
do you want it?

deleted from hard drive now i think.

[Marmite the Dog]

^ My ration on the Box is shite at the moment, and I really don't want bladdy Coronation Street!!

Trade Secrets is a spin off of Grand Designs, which is a house building program. I have it on HD (along with other stuff) which I'll take to CM with me next week. I think I get free Wi-Fi at the hotel, so I can continue downloading stuff as well as posting bollocks on here.

^
have i been leeching entourage off you for the past 3 weeks?

I have been losing the connection quite regularly but was at 99.3 % this morning with less than an hour ETA.

^I like my tea well brewed, so you better get the kettle on

I haven't looked, actually. I was going to bring the HD up so you could just take the files from there.

My connection has been shite recently. Funnily enough, it started having problems after I turned the Automatic Updates back on. Last night I removed all the recent updates and turned the fucking thing off again, so it should be ok now.

But it didn't help , did it?

"Nuts in May" was part of a Mike Leigh series when I first saw it.
I remember another one called "Abigail's Party" and one other about a couple living on a council estate but forgotten the title.
They were all funny and there must have been more than 3 episodes.
Any one remember the others ?

[ChiangMai noon]

^
I remeber watching Abigail's party.
can't remember any more.

[ChiangMai noon]

Edit :
Err.. not sure why that says 404.
I just tried and the link works for me

[bkkmadness]

Mike Leigh is fantastic. 'Naked' and 'Life is Sweet' are two of my favourite Brit movies.

[NickA]

Err.. not sure why that says 404. I just tried and the link works for me

Works for me too, guess it's because you need to be a member of thebox to see it.

[ChiangMai noon]

box links always have the same error thingy.

i use the forums.
they are a shirty bunch of twats.

[kingwilly]

^ either that or they just dont like pendantic welsh gits !

[ChiangMai noon]

LDMA is a member.

it's a lot of fun having him outside his own fifedom though he is doing all he can to come across as an arse licking twat.

[Marmite the Dog]

But it didn't help , did it?

It seems better actually.

[NickA]

^They like to pretend everything is illegal and above board on those type of places. I remember being a member of a PS emulator forum, if anyone mentioned downloading or copying games they got shat on from a great height as if everybody else wasn't doing it.

[Marmite the Dog]

I have the following downloads from The Box and would appreciate help to get my ratio up.

Top Gear Polar Special
Jeremy Clarkson - Heaven & Hell
Grand Designs Series 7 (11 Episodes)
Grand Designs - Trade Secrets

They're all rather good viewing!
