I like it. It's not very funny to me, but I like his attitude a lot. Did you see the show Black Books? Him and Bill Bailey, I saw the whole thing.
yeah man i didnt see the original runs because i was about 11 when they were out but i downloaded all of them from itunes a while back, sick show. Bernard is the best character but manny has his moments. The ep where they drink the popes wine is one of the best sitcom eps i have ever seen.

Can someone recommend me a good spy movie? Except Bond, Bourne, and MI ones.
Michael Caine's Harry Palmer movies are supposed to be excellent. They're on my too see list. There were five of them:

The Ipcress File (1965)
Funeral in Berlin (1966)
Billion Dollar Brain (1967)
Bullet to Beijing (1995)
Midnight in St. Petersburg (1995)

A little more recent, Ronin was one of Frankenheimer's last movies. Not exactly a spy movie in that there's no government agency involved, but it has the other elements of one. It features a genuinely great car chase, and if it's not the smartest film Frankenheimer ever made, it's certainly one of his finest in terms of action.

EDIT: Can I just say that Bill Bailey and Dylan Moran are two of my absolute favourite comedians.

Ronin is a great movie. Very underrated if you ask me.

    I take no pleasure in outing gigantic Douchbags, I do it because it must be done.

    If you click the link you'll see than he'd sound even funny with those accents, his real accent.
    I'm very disappointed in you people. I thought you'd have a cool and distinct accent, but instead you have many different ones none of which is particularly cool.
