Nope, I also feel the same way about the series.
Not if you ask Sir Humphrey.
And so do I. Recently in the UK they’ve had this thing on about a vote for the best British sitcom. It was a tough call to make between this and Blackadder, but Minister got my vote in the end. And I had to cheat to do it and pretend to be living in the UK on the website. But I guess that would be alright with Humphrey. 
IMO anyone who voted for the Vicar of Dibley is out of their mind. But that’s a different thread altogether.
Butt shirley … Fawlty Towers? Gottabe, right?
Nope. Nr 3 Minister and Adder. And, while I’m busy hijacking, Spaced and Black Books might have beaten Towers too, but not the other two. However, they weren’t in the list of comedies you could vote for.
Correction. Nr 3 AFTER Minister and Adder. Humphrey would never make those kind of errors.
At first when I saw the list I thought I would go for Blackadder but thought that Fawlty Towers would probably win because it is also excellent, but then I saw a re-run of Yes Minister and it was just so funny and also incredibly clever and sharp and neatly put together. It was almost in a league of its own really.
Anyway that’s a bit of a hijack - sorry. To get back to the discussion regarding balls - I always thought they (and bollocks) were testicles - not For instance a guy mught say ‘I got hit in the balls/ bollocks - it was agony’. That said, saying something is a load of balls or bollocks is basically saying it is a load of rubbish in a more emphatic (and perhaps more crude) way.
That should be ‘I always thought they were testicles - not balls of bullshit.’
Apologies…
Yes, people in Ireland are rather good at that sort of thing…
I didn’t mean that they were literally balls of bullshit. What I meant was that “balls”, meaning testicles, has a slang meaning that is the same as the slang meaning of “bullshit”.
