> I'm astonished to know how many obscure references people in the RinkForum and RinkChat know of. It's truly weird. I mean, I though only a few people would get my "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast" references, but I was obviously wrong about that.

Obscure? You call that obscure? The astonishing thing is that some people *don't* get Red Dwarf references. Oh, the deprivation. I'm still a bit worried about the thought that watching Red Dwarf makes us intellectuals, however. ;-)

That sounds a lot like Kryten but everyone else answered "Monty Python" so I don't know.

From, of course, the only TV show featuring a plonker called Rodney. "Only Fools and Horses".

Hitchhiker's Guide and various sequels thereof.

I don't recognise that one, but it sounds similar to "It twists and turns like a twisty turny thing" and similar quotes of Blackadder fame.

Er, probably about fourteen possibilities here. Let me know which one you had in mind.
