    I really enjoyed listening to this item . It was refreshing to be reminded of just how innately well-mannered and intelligent many Canadians are ; and to hear folk laughing with rather than at intellectuals for a change. Plus which the chirpy end jingle was reminiscent of Bob Hope’s Road to … films.

    ( A welcome improvement on the chippy Irish hackette who - trying to make a name for herself ? - sneered at the idea c/o More4news )

    Polls as a method of promoting reader participation and loyalty ,
    ( advertising the title around the world is a bonus ) is all good and I look forward to many more in our favourite magazine. Have we had the top 100 dead intellectuals yet ?

    Several years ago, a flock of sombre faced comedians from the Dead Comics Society arrived to unveil a commemorative plaque to the late , incomparably great Terry Thomas , on a house a few doors
    away from ours . Sensing, en passant, the hesitant gloom, SOMEONE quipped : ” Dead comics - you can’t get enough of them ” … toothy grins all round
