am bored shitless at home, off work till at least monday , can't really do much , as resting my injured arm (imflammed tendons in the right elbow, had an injection in it yesterday) , which means computer games are out , am trying to avoid excessive amounts of time on here, so post a few times then go do summat else .
downloaded a few comedy films last night but now they dont take my fancy so much, 2 I had seen 2 i hadn't from a list of the the 50 best comedy films of all time
watched 10 mins of History of the World part 1 a mel Brooks film I had never seen, and now never will as I thought it was utter shite
watched about 40 mins of Monty Python and the Holy Grail a film I have seen many times, but not for a while, and got bored so switched it off , may be I need a few tinnies and a better frame of mind to appreciate it
the other 2 are
Blues Brothers (seen loads but am not in mood)
and This is Spinal Tap , which I have never seen
so come on Film recommendations (or comedy)
I need a good few suggestions to get me through the next 4 days , I know the footy starts on saturday but without the home nations not sure it will hold my attention for long , and the team I am backing (Italy) don't play till monday .....
too much typing, arm hurts off to see whats on TV, i look forward to reading peoples suggestions

Top three are clever and funny and if you haven't seen them then you should.
Bottom three not so clever but laugh out loud funny.

Make sure you watch every one of the one’s in my list above Dave if you haven’t already seen them all.
All very fine films for various reasons, you won’t be disappointed.

Dave instead of spending time dossing about watching films why don't you spend the time more constructivley and dig a large moat around the perimeter of your house.
Then write to Gordon Brown tell him you are claiming the land as your own, are separating yourself from the UK and that non-reply will be taken as agreement.
Then form the Independant state of "Dave" or "Daveland".
Spend time choosing a government, monarchy and financial structure. Design your own postage stamps and flags. Also create your own money and call it the "Dave" or "Daves".
Quit your job on the grounds that you shouldn't be expected to travel from another country every morning.
Then develop an import and export trade (not sure what you'd import/export but that could be sorted out later) with the UK developing the Dave to British Pound exchange rate.
Establish Dave or Daveland as a popular holiday destination by installing a beach in your back garden, perhaps invite Gloria Hunniford along for a small break in order to boost interest in Dave as a serious destination choice.
Finally if you can't get Gloria round then scrap the holiday idea and declare Daveland as a third world country claim international aid from the worlds super powers and sit pretty. Either that or gather an army and invade Chigwell declaring it part of Davedom.
