    I have alot of respect for ricky gervais after hearing his words on bbc radio 2 awhile ago. When asked when he was going to take a break he replied with "my job is a break, its the truck drivers factory workers etc that need a break" Funny and a genuine nice guy.

    One of the things I loved about the 'Brent' character was that his music was actually quite good (and his poetry too). It kind of demonstrated that 'Brent' was a sensitive person underneath all his bravado, which gave real meat to the character.
    And he's right, you don't need 'B', just use a capo if you need to play in B.

    Haha glad I'm not the only one who really enjoyed Ricky's work too. Me and my hubby used to bond over watching The Office and we'd laugh hysterically for hours and hours watching it. Infact we still crack up over it and have little impressions of David and like little in jokes that are all to do with the Office (people must think we're mad lol). Often watching The Office and Extras, etc we'd literally have tears rolling down our faces cause the humour, mannerisms and social awkwardness was just so hilarious and spot on. He was the first person to laugh at these little social things we can all relate too. Probably the most real thing on TV when it comes to the closest thing on TV to real life social interactions I can really relate to it. You might also like his other series called Extras as it's the same type of humour but for some strange reason isn't as well known which is strange cause it's equally good writing and so so funny honestly best thing I've ever seen. I can't tell you enough what an inpact these series had on our life, they have brought so much laughter and joy to us so thanks Ricky, Steve and Karl. Keep doing what you do. Now we can't wait to see Life on the Road next yaaay! I also love to listen to there radio shows and podcasts as well as the Ricky Gervais Show with Steve and Karl, they are so funny and entertaining to listen to, just three friends shooting the breeze, having a laugh and being themselves. You might also like the series they done called 'Lifes Too Short' (again not as well known which is a tradegy) we were also in tears at, it's the same sort of humour as The Office and Extras but instead stars Warrick Davis who's just as good as Ricky Gervais character and equally as funny (the facial expressions had me cracking up!) you should all watch it. These guitar lessons are also amazing I just love that he's incorporated his love of music into his work as we love the guitar and music too. Keep up the great work Ricky! Have been a fan of yours for years way before most people. When I first watched The Office I thought it was a documentary and I think that's the best way too watch it rather than expecting a comedy just look at them as real people. Anywho I'm yabbering on now but just love all you're TV series and podcasts. You've made my life more bearable by making social awkwardness funny rather than just debilitating and cringy. You've saved my life! Hope you're reading this :-D
