I watched Wedding Belles the other day, written by Irvine Welsh.

Some might struggle with the quines' accents...

That looks interesting. Where can I download the whole thing?

**dirk diggler** · 18-06-2024, 05:12 PM

It's all there on the youtube vid I posted.

Oh. I see I just took a peak at it. Cheers for the info. Irvine welsh is definitely up there with Scots comedians . His books are just as good as the movies

Michael Palin in Ripping Yarns great series.
The testing of Eric Otherwaite who knew about a quality Spear and Jackson shovel was a great episode.
Palin in the Movie A private Function with Maggie Smith is a ripper.
The series Blot on the Landscape with George Cole and David Suchet.

If you liked Welsh, make sure to read something by John Niven. The Amateurs was hilarious. So was Kill Your Friends but that already made the movies.

Non-British, but if you like Welsh and Niven, you’re bound to like Chuck Palahniuk, who wrote Fight Club, among many others.

Danny McBride has wrote scores of Scottish crime novels, his wit and character development is right up there.

I,ll give all them a crack. What I particularly liked about Irvine welshs books . Was. he wrote in the scottish brogue/ lingo I could understand / relate grew up listening to Scots parents . I Ken.

It's Brutal being half scottish half Australian though. Half of me wants to get drunk all the time
The other half doesn't want to pay

This unfortunately is about all he has to offer.

I forgot the other thing you have in common with the Chef. You're both muppets.

Nailed it.
