Fairfax Underground
Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
The Sky TV show "Trollied" was mentioned here earlier, and the post bought back some great memories of top knotch British Television. Other than the basics, Dr. Who, Top Gear, Luther, Monty Python, Downton, Served, and Vicar, what Newer TV shows from across the pond do you personally enjoy on this side of the Atlantic?
Peter Kaye's Car Share, Girls, Whitless Protection, and Bliss, all come to mind for me as well written and well produced Brit shows. What Brit shows are your go-tos when American or Canadian shows don't cut it?
Derry Girls is the best! Most of the mockumentaries on Brit TV are awful, though. I mean they have one for people working in an airport, working at a resort, working ata hairstyling place, working in a newsroom, etc. The charectors they create for these shows are annoying, don't ya think? I think they produce these type of shows 3MGJHbecause they are cheap, compared to the well written shows.
The funniest show for a while was "Young, Dumb, and Living with Mum." We need a US version of that one, starring a country music singer from Richmond.

Wednesday morning, the first thing I did at work was go to the kitchen and put the toaster in the cabinet.
This morning, a coworker came over to me and said "now I get it."
Let's see if others in the office pick up the joke and return the toaster to the cabinet after using it.

How much you want to bet in next season's The Simpsons, There will be a quick scene of Reverend Lovejoy putting his toaster back in the cupboard?

Mrs.Brown at the stove stirring a pot.
Cathy: Will you be baking something then, mum?
Mrs. Brown: no, I am just mixing cement for Trump's Fecking wall.
My favourite Derry Girls was when the girls were goofing off in detention, and their proctor, Sister Declan, silently died at the desk in the front of the room..
Sister Michael:Obviously, Sister Declan's death was extremely shocking and unexpected.
We're still struggling to understand exactly what happened.
Erin: Can I just ask, what age was Sister Declan?
Sister Michael: She'd have been 98 on Friday.
Erin: Might that shed some light on the situation?

I was watching an older episode of "All Around to Mrs. Brown," and they mentioned a new style shop in town called"Curl Up & Dye." The Simpsons last season had "Harry's Sheer" (get it?) Change its name to "Curl up & Dye." It is clear the Simpsons stole the name from Mrs. Brown.
Rumours have been confirmed, if the BBC doesn't make concessions, Mrs. Brown will pass away in this year's Christmas Special. If so, the following Monday "someone at the BBC will lose his feckin' job."

It finally made it accross the pond. Derry Girls season two premieres today on NetFlix! Se the chalkboard (as referenced above from early March), see the "Rock the Boat" song, See the drug scene, See Sister Michael tell Jenny "you need to learn to push back," And see Bill Clinton visit Derry! Enjoy!
I will watch all the episodes again. When I watched them 6 months ago, those damn Irish did not include subtitles or close captions. I am not sure who to blame, the Catholics or the Protestants for that, but leaning towards blaming those protestants.
If you have yet to see Derry Girls, you got an issue. A feckin' Catholic friend whos name begins with an O', said to me a few months ago "You got my whole family addicted to that show, you baStard!"
Feckin' get off you ass and watch Derry Girls (with subtitles) this weekend!
Subtitles are needed for Uncle Colm. Read how Sister Michael reacts to one of Colm's windbag stories
Sister Michael: What's happening?
Uncle Colm: When the bride arrives, and I say by this stage, the wind was fierce.
Sister Michael: Am I dead?
Uncle Colm: I've never heard wind like it.
Sister Michael: Is this my wake?
Uncle Colm: Howling like a banshee it was.
Sister Michael: Am I in hell?
Uncle Colm: So the poor girl, the bride now this is, she arrives and isn't she no sooner out of the car than she's lifted up in the air like a paper doll and blown into a flowerbed.
Sister Michael: That's actually quite funny.

The Mrs.Brown's Christmas special airs tomorrow night at 10:30 PM, GMT, on BBC One.it is a take off on Its a Wonderful Life, where Mrs. Brown sees the world as if she never had been born. The spin is everyone's life would have been better. There also is a New Years Special which is a take off on Orange is the New Black.
The Queen was delivered a copy of shows last week per her request, but other than that, no one else outside the production has seen either episodes.
The family's lastest ventures are to get Mrs. Brown on A US network, build one more season, and tour the world, including the US, with a live show in 2022.
This limey guy at work is always talking about Dr Who? I told him try Star Trek instead. They have real space ships. Dr Who rides around in a fucking phone booth called, shit you not - the 'TARDis. Could you imagine Captain Kurt riding around in a freaking phone booth!

It is a Police Call Box, not a phone booth.
TaRDiS means Timee And Relative Dimensions In Space.
It is bigger on the inside than the outside.
Naked Attraction is a dating game where 5 of the suitors, male or female, appears nude before the choser who rates them and whittles down to the final two. Then then the choser appears nude before the last two and makes his or her choice.
Fine family entertainment for all, the teenagers and grandparents included.

Peggy Piper precisely poured a packet of poison in her partner Peter’s pernod, and properly proceeded to prison.
