these guys start good and get better
Men in Coats

anyone know who they are?
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around September 2005:
 
Yeah, they're Men In Coats.

They were at the Reading festival this year. I didnt catch them as I was too busy with all the reading but saw it on the box. Very funny.
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around September 2005:
 
last year (or the year before) they did 5 minutes each week on a stand up series that was on channel 5 called something like "the stand up show".

Great stuff.
Posted by Brock, around September 2005:
 
They've been around for ages, though.

Not that the comment is intended to be derogatory, but they have.
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around September 2005:
 
That's what I was trying to say to Salty, in a polite way.
Posted by Brock, around September 2005:
 
Fuck that.

"WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN, YOU ANTIPODEAN TWAT? HAD YOUR HEAD UP A KANGAROO'S ARSE FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS?"

I don't do polite unless forced to at gunpoint.

Or if I think it will get me laid. The chances of Salti qualifying for either are pretty remote...

I notice you are quite polite to su. Well NZ is only a short hop away from Australia, you never know...and she keeps talking about having sex with you. Maybe there is another iamcal romance budding here! Hm?

Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around September 2005:
 
20000 kms

Posted by Brock, around September 2005:
 
Yeah, but you know me and my respect for rules...

I'm going to camp in her garden and take pictures through the window of her getting dressed.

Posted by Saltation_DUPE1, around September 2005:
 
i DO apologise, alfie and brock. i should have spent the last four years slavishly dribbling over the TV every waking hour like your good selves, rather than going Outside or talking to People. tsk tsk. what a fool i was. well, you've sorted me out, that's for sure. no more social life for ME, oh no. remote control heaven, here i come.
Posted by Brock, around September 2005:

I've seen some other video from that show, it's really good. They did a superb one where some blokes were painting white on one side, and were otherwise black. I can't remember any more detail, though. Just that it was good.

Some very good, visually delightful stuff on there. Some complete shit too, of course, but that's only to be expected.

I read some magic site telling how to get that effect yourself using an old shirt, coathanger and sticky back plastic.

Not sure if I bookmarked it though. I'll have a look through my immense list of unorganised links for it. Then everyone can have a go themselves.
