8/7/11

Tomorrow marks ten years from the first airing of The Office.

How mental is that?

A full decade on from “I don’t give shitty jobs.” leading to “Chris, why don’t you fuck off?”

A genuinely flawless programme, heartwarming, hilarious and real. So real. I dread to think how much of how I am now is inspired by David Brent, or Ricky Gervais at least. Sure. I daren’t even try and work out how many times I’ll have quoted, innacuartely, “I for one believe her”, “Love me, love me, pathetic”, “Yeah, you are the best”, “Weeelll” “That’s what I think of you selection policy..” “Exsperminate”.

Genuinely too many words said too often, that’s off the top of my head, there will be so many more, that’s excluding body language and mannerisms. Unbelievable.

Tomorrow shall be marked with a celebration fitting of it, el vino will flow.
