I find Ricky, Stephen and Karl hilarious. Ricky and Stephen responsible for The Office and Extras, plus the film Cemetery Junction. On the Extras dvd there's a quote from John Cleese saying "This Is the greatest sitcom ever in the whole universe, except for mine" High praise coming from a founding member of Monty python's flying Circus, Life of Brian and Fawlty Towers. John Cleese is a comic Genius, a force of nature. Ricky and Stephen are geniuses aswell, directing, writing and starring in The Office, the only British sitcom to ever win a golden globe. A huge achievement. Extras is so funny. Cemetery Junction is a good Comic-Drama. Also Ricky wrote, directed and played the main role in Derek, which was also a comic-drama, which Ricky seems to excel at, and which had some hilarious moments in it. Like, the episode when they were playing Duran Duran to the old people. Karl had to play the drummer. I have the dvd, the first time I seen it, I couldn't stop laughing, my sides were aching, I wanted to stop laughing coz it was hurting my sides and my head, but when it stopped hurting, I kept rewinding it, and just kept laughing. I must have watched that piece at least 10 times. Brilliant writer, director and actor. Ricky is a genius. A breath of fresh air, when he came along.

Honestly It's kinda annoying that noone will ever acknowledge that Carl isn't remotely stupid. My theory is that his language skills are what makes people think he isn't bright, however if you actually listen to his thoughts and understand them, his reasoning in most cases is actually very sound. Ricky immediately trashing everything by locking onto the first flaw in what is usually a miscommunication more than an actually stupid comment is what plays into people treating him like an idiot. Full disclosure i also think this might bother me more than even Carl himself

CB radio codes aren't for secrecy at all. It's similar to the codes police use. Made to just get to the point like 10-4 is "yes" or "affirmative." Just made to shorten statements to keep the radio clear of too much chatter.

[@DriscolDevil]

How does saying "10-4" use less time than just saying "yes?"

[@IluvinortheIneffable]

@@DriscolDevilI know this is a year old but its to avoid confusion. The numbered codes have a specific meaning, while words like yes and ok can have multiple meanings. In addition, there are a lot of acronyms and initials used on the road. OK can mean anything on a radio. 10-4 means acknowledgement, it doesnt mean yes. You might say, "hey everyone theres an accident on exit 9. Plan a detour" and people would reply 10-4. If someone asked you a yes or no question, you would just say yes. Asking for someones 20 refers to their location and which direction they are traveling. You might reply with the highway, exit, and direction. Its really for truckers to communicate.

[@DriscolDevil]
