But I have!

I was working as an admin assistant in a CAB when 'The Office' was first screened, and I didn't get it then

Maybe I worked in a good office!

I have tried to like him. I watched 'The Office' and 'Extras', but neither moved me.

I refused to watch 'The Invention Of Lying' when my landlady got it from Blockbuster when it first came out, leading to her accusing me of being 'narrow-minded' because I didn't give it a chance!

Obviously humour is subjective, but I don't understand why people fall about laughing at him. Eddie Izzard is the same for me
