> That bit sounds like hell to me

Yeah, us Brits don't like to do anything that sounds like it might be fun when we're under stress. We want to sit there and bitch and complain about the fact nobody is fixing the track and who is going to get fired for it. We definitely don't want to have anyone distract us from that with anything that looks like it might be fun. /satire

I’ll quote Jerry Seinfeld here: “I can’t watch a man sing a song.”

Jerry and I share sentiments on this.

This is why all our greatest comedy is people moaning... Life of Brian, Holy Grail, Fawlty Towers, Little Britain, the list goes on...
