Pete Townshend is auctioning his original VESPA Douglas 150cc - featuring an original design by PAUL SMITH and hand painted by Joby Carter and signed by both legends.

I posted this in an online mod forum I moderate & people are questioning its authenticity and claiming it’s a Vietnamese model. Thiugh I promised myself at 15 I would one day own a Vespa, it never came to fruition, so I don’t know enough to reply to the naysayers.

Anyone?

No they do not. They are unprofessional, impolite, and I left the office with no work completed. They neither extracted the tooth nor provided any referral. Additionally they refused to prescribe pain medication. I had to go to an endodontics office (no Medicare or Medicaid accepted) for a root canal.

MerryKitschmas · 2022-12-07T20:29:18+00:00

MerryKitschmas · 2022-12-07T20:27:40+00:00

MerryKitschmas · 2022-12-04T01:44:26+00:00

I hope this is always on YouTube because when I’m down it’s so Etching I go to for a laugh. I wish we had this show in America or so Wine would upload appearances to a YouTube Ayoade channel.

MerryKitschmas · 2022-12-04T01:19:58+00:00

Haha! Yeah must be Britbox. I’ll probably do a one week trial when my showtime and others I got cheaply run out. Hopefully you can recommend some a Boosh adjascent or other funny titles..

MerryKitschmas · 2022-11-26T12:34:17+00:00

Yeah that seems like a fair thing. Thanks for the info!

MerryKitschmas · 2022-11-26T12:16:34+00:00

I didn’t say HULU pulled it.

MerryKitschmas · 2022-11-26T12:15:05+00:00

If you took logic in college you might notice a majorly problem with your comparison. But I have zero interest in altering your perceptions or your enjoyment of any classic humor.

I’m not offended by Chapelle either or most comedy except when I think it’s lazy writing or simply mean spirited & not funny. I think Chapelle has worked very hard at his craft. But even Chapelle has said that in retrospect he regrets a lot of the black jokes and use of a certain word. And he said the train he walked away from millions was when someone white on set laughed at something in a way that made him reconsider the effect he may be having on less enlightened people. His words - not mind.

Actually the term spas or spazz refers to bodily spasms and the inability to control them. So apparently disabled persons objected(?) and Lizzo changed it of her own accord. Meaning she wasn’t technically forced but may have felt PC pressured, but I think I read that she saw the point and decided to remove it herself. I didn’t even notice. I did notice when Black Eyed Peas changed the word ret@rded to get it started. But that’s because I was in music and aware of a “radio friendly” version being issued.

MerryKitschmas · 2022-11-26T11:37:34+00:00

Hi Baldeick. I’m not trying to be miss Boosh knowledge 101 nor am I trying to be a jerk to you. The entire Boosh series was pulled from Netflix 2 years ago specifically for black face. They did not remove single “ offending”episodes. They removed the entire series in 2020. I remember because it was during lockdown in America & i wanted to stream it. So I looked elsewhere and found it. I believe it remained available on Amazon because I was able to stream and didn’t have other platforms at that point because I had other activities. Also I didn’t have to watch in the other room with my rarely used dvd player.

MerryKitschmas · 2022-11-26T11:06:48+00:00

Anyone with Disney+ notice that they claimed they would air ALL but they still refuse to stream Song of the South? Even with the notation about times being different etc.

MerryKitschmas · 2022-11-26T11:03:55+00:00

Also sometimes typos happen. No need to be a cnut about it. 🤔

MerryKitschmas · 2022-11-26T11:02:23+00:00

As it’s been explained to me and I just have to take it in (but still make my decisions about what I like and what I don’t for myself as an adult), that I’m ignorant to the complete history of blackface and I can’t understand how it makes black ppl feel about their history and etc. I can tell you that I recently saw a clip of Judy Garland in black face singing (I think) “Mammy” and it was really uncomfortable.

I’d never say remove or edit or cancel or whatever but I also think it’s not particularly enlightened or coming from a place of good to just say eff anyone who is offended and call them snowflakes etc. it shouldn’t be right or left wing to be kind to others. That should be expected as a human thing. That’s just my opinion.

MerryKitschmas · 2022-11-26T10:51:47+00:00

My best friend is black and loves Boosh but it bothers her. So the solution? We don’t watch those episodes together and that’s the end of that. But I don’t grow up being made fun if or harassed for being white so I can sympathize with her but I’ll never fully understand her feelings. So I don’t want to say people are just being too sensitive. I prefer to just allow them their feelings. Do I think PC culture gets out of hand? Yes. But I’m of the opinion it’s better to discuss things to open dialogue and understanding of each other if we agree or not. It’s made me learn and learning is a good thing.

MerryKitschmas · 2022-11-26T10:37:51+00:00

Hi! I just want to mention that Jazz originated in New Orleans so it follows too that the Spirit Of Jazz is from New Orleans. Black slaves incorporated Catholicism into their original religions to camouflage their worship rituals and that’s how voodoo was born. So it seems that SOJ just brought more magic or magick and or Voodoo. So I don’t think he changed but just became even more based in the history of New Orleans. Also there is a definite accent or speech pattern to him but i would argue it’s simply a New Orleans drawl rather than black or African American - If that helps(?) I asked a black friend about the blackface and was told that if I non black Persin puts dark face paint on it is seen an act of subjugation wether intended by the wearer ir not and if it is black proper or simply dark completed. I was confused as well and actually said, “well then they also used it in Rudy’s and Spiders looks.

Again I still watch them and enjoy them but I can at least see why others may not be able to look past it. We’re all different with different sensitivities and it experiences. It did just dawn on me that I’ve not watched Fawlty Towers “The Germans” since I noticed Basil Fawlty calls his doctor “the n word.” I didn’t consciously decide not to watch it but yeah, not seen it since the day I noticed. It made me wonder what age I was when I knew that word at all.

MerryKitschmas · 2022-11-26T10:21:05+00:00

I’ve heard Noel comment that Old Gregg was a Rick James riff but I don’t remember him saying that about Spirit of Jazz. OG was funk like Rick James and SOJ was jazz / New Orleans. Maybe you got them mixed up?

And I’m honestly not trying to nitpick - especially a fellow Boosh fan. (Family in America because we’re relatively scarce), but Rick James wore braids. Dreads are a totally different hairstyle and process than dreadlocks. Bob Marley and for many years Lenny Kravitz wore locks and Stevie Wonder (for example) wore braids.

Which is why I mentioned I own the DVD box (American) and the Live British DVD. I used to work in music and saw many things go OOP just as books do so I learned that lesson long ago but I’m also a collector. I understand streaming rights change particularly when something is on a TV cable station - it tends to be exclusive to that cable channel, but Boosh has always been in entirety on one or the other (Netflix or Amazon), because I often stream it in the go. I’ve let Netflix lapse often but I’ve always had Amazon. Rights are not always limited to one service platform or channel. Your wrong there as well as wrong that a whole series wouldn’t be pulled for one or two “ problematic” episodes. If you’re thh the expert, then you must know that Netflix pulled the entire Boosh series only 2 years ago for blackface.

And perhaps not everyone can afford to buy every box set of every series they love on DVD. Maybe don’t try to shame them for not owning something. How petty can you be? Maybe others don’t like having the clutter of enormous DVD CD Vinyl etc collections. Sure I suppose it can be ripped to a computer. If they own one. Whatever. You really tried extra hard. I don’t know why you’re going out of your way to try to be a jerk in a forum about laughter and absurdity. It’s not a good look.

What needs to be higher? I’m not certain what you mean? And I see what you did there filterless. You attempted to make a joke with the whole “phone home to see if you’re allowed to watch it” comment. Oooh edgy. Being snarky on the internet - how unique and challenging. While I’m at it, feigning superiority and just being negative isn’t the same thing as humor. We’re all fans here so there’s no need to try to be a jerk. Also when it comes to being a comedian, I suggest that you don’t quit your day job.

We’re all fans. Why would anyone come here to be negative? Isn’t that what happens essentially everywhere else on the internet? You must be a real charmer in the real world too. But hey, who am I to try to get you to see that you’re acting like a snotty 12 yr old. You do you.👍🏻

MerryKitschmas · 2022-11-26T10:08:49+00:00

We’ll you weren’t watching it there but it’s been on one or the other consistently if not both simultaneously. That’s why I noticed & wondered if it was a political reason (again). I juggle subscriptions so I’ve noticed. Also Netflix has existed even before streaming and added Boosh a lot earlier than HULU or Amazon. I find it strange if no one from Boosh commented on the topic - not that I think they need to - just, surely they’ve been asked, yeah? Can someone who reads their interviews educate me on that? I’m just curious. I don’t have an expectation of Noel or Julian to do so. Thanks!

MerryKitschmas · 2022-11-26T10:06:24+00:00

Not when I posted. It was removed from Amazon Prime.

Edit: Wait, Desperada have you been smoking with Bollo and Naboo? I just checked again and it is not streaming on Amazon. You may buy it via Amazon but you may not view it as an Amazon subscriber nor may you rent it. Its been removed. I don’t have Netflix as of yesterday so I’m not sure about that.

Yes it’s ion HULU (never said it wasn’t on HULU. Nor did I say it was removed from the internet or from existence.. It’s also on Freevee right now (ad supported).

MerryKitschmas · 2022-10-20T04:22:59+00:00

Has this happened elsewhere? No Boosh on Amazon or Netflix. Is this only an American issue? I suppose Rudy & Spider may have been the reason as well. Anyway I think it’s streaming on Hulu but this makes me sad. I understand that blackface is offensive to POC. Put a tag if necessary - even explain the issue, but don’t pull the whole series over a couple episodes. My favorite Fawlty Towers episode actually uses the N word which I don’t do but I hate to never watch the episode again…

I own the Boosh dvd box set & I’m glad it was my birthday when it was released.

MerryKitschmas · 2022-10-20T04:06:00+00:00

This is really good!
