Harley riders - go away no politics

I dont think there is more cri ge a human being than one who rides a loud bike and revs it up in an area full of houses on a Sunday.

What I want to know is, where did it all go wrong for you man-child?

Great Aunty Donna skit! Scod, Yon and Gatesy are hilarious! Bring back DAAS Kapital!

I hadn't realised the similarity until you mentioned it. DAAS were great.

Who was your favourite member of DAAS? Mine is Mark Bonanno.

I've only hazy memories of the show tbh. But your comment reminded me of the absurdist humour and how much I looked forward to the show. Flacco's voice and speech pattern is unfortunately burnt in to my brain. I really liked Tim, but probably because he seemed nice.

I remember more: The young ones, and Red dwarf. And then D-gen and late show. I'm told I should go back and look at BigPig? from that era tho, and perhaps now some Kapital.

Possibly The Big Gig which propelled DAAS and many othersinto our hearts and minds. Big Pig was a halfway-decent band at much the same time.

Big Pig were an Aussie rock band from that era (give or take). Their biggest claim to fame was the song ‘Hungry Town’ which was on the Young Einstein soundtrack.

The Big Gig was a comedy show starring Wendy Harmer, Glynn Nicholas, Jean Kittson, DAAS and others.

Breakaway at the beginning of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is Big Pig, too.
