Question about The Dark Age (no real spoilers)

appreciate the small part from Jesus Christ Superstar's ouverture, and why
he mentioned the Bay Creepy City Rollers, I mean, of all pop groups?

When he was a kid, if he was true to the name 'Ripper', its more likely he
would have liked the Sex Pistols or Mott the Hoople. .
I'm curious. . .has he ever listened to any music in Buffy as an adult?

Well, he's British, isn't he? He'd probably be too ashamed to
admit he recognised something from Andrew Lloyd Webber. (I must
admit, I did.)

Never heard of them.

Yeah, but isn't he just a tad too old for the Sex Pistols? Hm. Not sure. I'd
say he's a few years older than I am, so I think he's pre-punk. Or maybe
not.

Not voluntarily, as far as I remember. :))

had 2 number one albums in '74 and '75.
They all used to wear tartan hats aswell(which is surely the worst fashion
disaster since Cordelia was subjected to her nightmares).
believe me, your better off if youve never heard or seen them.

YES! Now I finally remember that song I couldn't remember! I think it's
called 'Bye, Bye, baby' and it goes like this: 'Bye, bye, baby, baby, bye
bye.Bye, baby, baby, bye, bye...'

I think he was being "sarcastic". This is a British invention in which
one says something one does not, necessarily, mean for the purposes of
merriment and japery!
Keith
Andrea
Hey, I know sarcastic. And I know ironic, which might be a more accurate
description. That is, if Giles *was* being ironic. I mean, he doesn't *look*
as if he's being ironic. Problem is, he looks dead serious. Which might be
the whole point if you're trying to be ironic. Or sarcastic.
Hm.
Andrea
(slightly confused)
Miriam Rocke
:
The word I would use is "deadpan". (Which requires looking dead
serious, and is part of what makes it funny.) And yes, Giles was
joking. (Or at least that's what ASH says Joss says, or something.)
ASH apparently tried to change that line 'cause he doesn't like BCR,
but Joss wouldn't let him.
OR something.
There are a lot of 'or something's in my post. Sorry. :)

Aha.

Aha.

Or perhaps this is what happens when Americans try to portray a European
sense of humour. :)))

That's okay. And thanks for the explanation. Giles liking the BCR had me a
bit worried, but I'm okay now. :)))
