Was having a quick flick through one of those 'I know this is going to be awful, let's see how shite it can be' fics and... well... it surpassed itself.

'If Ianto had seen anyone else drinking that much liqueur, he'd have been concerned'.

I... ummm... so much glee. Really. it not only bypasses the cultural norms, (Jack was on his third glass which is... so not a cause for concern), the spelling (I believe she meant liquor), and the briticism test (we really. really don't call alcoholic drink liquor), it's also achieved hilariously awful due to unintended meaning.

Sweetie? If someone's drinking liqueur, they really have problems.

<-- now has image of Jack necking creme de cassis, or going through an entire tray of liqueur chocolates and slurping the centres.

In other news, JB has been confirmed for Robin Hood in Brum next panto. I need dates and headcount.

[livejournal.com profile] liviapenn is making indignant noises about stereotyping sidekicks and other stuf re: CoCs and considering I've just watched Adrian Lester being five types of unmitigated awesome in Being Human - so much love so much love OMGIT'SUS (seriously, this is what patrick described it as) - if you've had this show pimped at you? THERE IS A REASON - this makes me so bloody glad about UK sci-fi and fantasy and BBC Wales.

Hee, this is exactly what I get. Ripping the foils off a whole tray of 'Famous Names' that someone got given by their granny at Christmas, biting the teeny weeny 'bottle necks' and pouring the yummy cointreau/courvoisier/whatever down his throat and moving on.

I may possibly have done this some desperate Christmases!

In this author's defense, though (well, okay, that's indefensible, but pretending for a moment), Jack would totally do that just for the lulz.

And then he'd eat the chocolate.

Unfortunately, you then have things like The Bill, where I watch a random episode because it has Gareth David-Lloyd in and I'm going, "Hey, cool! A black gay cop in a committed relationship! That's awesome!" Only for the black gay cop to promptly get murdered by a gay-basher...

Way to bring back memories of Ground Force and Alan Titchmarsh's weekly pint of Creme De Menthe. *shudders*

I could actually imagine Jack doing that, probably along with Tosh. It'd be funny.

I loved Being Human, it was great, and they'd bloody better make it into a series.

Ah, someone else who loved 'Being Human'. Watched it a couple of times now and it had more imagination and heart in five minutes than I suspect crap like 'Moonlight' is going to have in its entire run. Part of me hopes it gets picked up for a full run if it is a pilot and not a one off ('cos I'd like to see more of Adrian Lester's character in particular) and part of me just wants it to be left as it is - small and perfectly formed.
