I saw an ad on ABC TV tonight, The IT Crowd is coming to the big screen this week.

The IT Crowd
Yesterday's Jam

9:00pm  Wednesday, September 27, 2006

From the writer of Father Ted and Black Books, get ready to delve into the off-the-wall world of an IT department, with the new six-part comedy series, The IT Crowd, starting Wednesday 27 September at 9pm.

Best friends Roy (Chris O'Dowd) and Moss (Richard Ayoade) spend their days working in the IT Department of Reynholm Industries, solving other people's computer dilemmas, or at least pretending to. But while their social betters work upstairs in fantastic surrounds with great views and unisex toilets, they are relegated to the horrible dark basement underneath it all.

Moss is highly intelligent but has the social skills of a serial killer. He can't communicate with anything that doesn't have a keyboard and he's still dressed by his mum.

Roy on the other hand, is someone whose spiky personality ensures that he will always be kept as far away from normal people as possible. Working in the basement, away from prying eyes, he's able to indulge his love of everything that is bad for him; fast food, comics and endless nonsensical arguments with Moss.

Their world is shattered when the highly ambitious Jen (Katherine Parkinson) joins the team as their new manager. Jen has dreamed of being a high-powered businesswoman all her life, or at least that's what she claims on her resume. With her imitation Armani suit and the ability to tell the most outrageous lies while keeping a straight face, she knows absolutely nothing about computers, but isn't about to admit it.

What an awesome speech....

"My Daddy was my hero - he was always there for me when I needed him."

"He listened to me and taught me so many things but most of all he was fun.

"I know that Daddy had an important job. He was working to change the world so everyone would love wildlife like he did.

"He built a hospital to help animals and he bought lots of land to give animals a safe place to live.

"He took me and my brother and my mum with him all the time. We filmed together, caught crocodiles together and loved being in the bush together.

"I don't want Daddy's passion to ever end.

"I want to help endangered wildlife just like he did.

"I have the best Daddy in the whole world and I will miss him every day.

"When I see a crocodile I will always think of him and I know that Daddy made this zoo so everyone could come and learn to love all the animals.

"Daddy made this place his whole life and now it's our turn to help Daddy."

We've been hooked on Rock Star : Supernova

It's funny seeing some mainstream press covering the finale, but not surprising since there is an aussie in the mix.

We like (Toby), but we think  (Lukas) is going to win

The Saints are up first on Friday night against the Demons. Sudden death. Loser gets eliminated, Winner heads interstate for the next final.

Since the game is on Friday, it was next to impossible for me to get down to Melbourne, so I am stuck in Sydney watching on the telly, and it's a delayed telecast as per usual. Grrrrr. Any other time over the weekend and I could have been down to see it.

The Saints record againts the Demons has been patchy at best. Our last final's meeting was in 1998 when the Demons eliminated the Saints. Painful memories

Since 1980	All Games	Last 5 Games	Highest Score	Lowest Score	Biggest Win
St Kilda	17	2	176	32	88
Melbourne	27	3	165	35	90

This week there will be plenty of chances to relive the victory.
