I was reminded earlier this week of a great quote by the legend that is Al Murray<\/a>, Pub Landlord.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Q<\/a> one issue about the perfect pub<\/a> compilation album<\/a>, he described Queen<\/a>‘s Bohemian Rhapsody<\/a> as “encapsulating the drunken night out – a quiet bit at the start, some people arguing with each other, then a load of shouting at the end.” Maybe that’s what Freddie was after when he wrote it…?<\/p>\n

For those whose lives are yet to be touched by the amazing Al Murray, I urge you to check out some of his work. You can see him on regular repeats of his show “Time Gentlemen Please<\/a>” on both Paramount Comedy Channel<\/a> (Monday to Friday, 10:35\/10:40pm depending on the day) and Sky One<\/a> (Sundays, 11pm). He also has a DVD<\/a>, “My Gaff, My Rules”<\/a> which is a live recording of one of his recent shows. Al Murray’s official site is here<\/a>. Listen to a clip of Al Murray, his view of the London<\/a>-Paris Paris-London train journey, here<\/a> (right-click and “Save target as…”)<\/p>\n
