Help[Opinions] Re: Neil, Neil, orange peel.
in reply to a message by Eilis
Never even heard of The Young Ones, actually. And that means that you'll have to tell me a bit more about that Neil--I hate not getting pop culture references, lol.
Robert Riley is my grandfather's name, and I have such a hard time divorcing either name from the other--they just sound so good together to me, lol. As for Neil Christian...ah, yes, but can it sneak past on the grounds that it's a family name from way back when? ;) If nothing else, I can promise that I plan to support my children's spiritual choices, whatever they are, heh.
Thank you for your thoughts.

...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

A bit of what Wikipedia has to say of Neil: "...a clinically depressed pacifist, insomniac and vegetarian working towards a peace studies degree. He is victimised by the other housemates and is made to do most of the housework, shopping and cooking. He is extremely pessimistic and believes everyone and everything hates him..."
The Young Ones is an old-ish British sitcom that I am in love with. If you can recall Rik Mayall from Drop Dead Fred, he's in it (his character is initially the reason why I declined to be a Sociology major). I've watched each episode probably twenty times over the years, no kidding. It's one of the only shows that I can quote freely, and of course nobody understand when I do. :-/ I hate to rely so much on Wikipedia but it's writeup is good. Neil is the one with the long hair--the hippie, of course.
