        You say that like your surprised or its a bad thing. We old guys need a place to talk ball too you know.

        Quite frankly and no offence to the young-ins here, but I like chattin' basketball while wearing my Depends and enjoying a nice bowl of prunes. Certainly keep me regular and spry.

          Well played sir. Would it be out of line to say my favourite athlete was deep blue? Haha

            He recently came by while shooting a documentary, and a semi-big deal was made about it, so I don't think he owns property anywhere near-by. They have taken his childhood home and done this with it however: http://www.youngtownmuseum.com/Default.htm

                                Was thinking the same thing, two main characters Moss (Richard Ayoade) and Mr. Renholm (Jr.? the son who takes over at the end of Season 1) are also main characters in Darkplace. I really enjoyed the IT Crowd but Darkplace is waaaay funnier and is more unique.

                                There's also a spinoff "Man to Man with Dean Learner" (Richard Ayoade's character from Darkplace) where he interviews "famous" people all of whom are played by the guy who plays "Garth Marenghi" (I think "Garth Marenghi" is on one of the episodes too).

                                Anyway, Richard Ayoade is my favourite guy in both shows... and it's really hard to believe that it's the same guy who plays "Dean Learner"/"Thorton Reed" and "Moss", especially because he looks way older in Darkplace even though it was made 3 years earlier.
