 the f-word - Reply to Nigel Planer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Nigel’s very narrow premise appears to be that the spectre of feminism is behind all of the current problems being faced by young men and boys (including his own insecurities, and those of his fellow sufferers).
Good gracious, if Nigel was so negatively affected by a few cutting words written on the toilet walls he should be thankful he wasn’t born female.
Of course it doesn’t help to blame individuals and it’s sad to think that poor Nigel seems to feel that he has been expected to personally shoulder the blame for all the things that made those nasty women write all that horrible graffiti about men.

 Observer review: Faking It by Nigel Planer | By genre | Guardian Unlimited Books
When Andrea Fox, the apex of the love triangle at the heart of Nigel Planer's second novel, is found dead in a New York hotel room from a drugs overdose with a coarse pepper grinder intimately inserted in her, the two men in her life find themselves obliged to re-evaluate their own lives.
Although Planer's characters appear at first glance to be drawn according to easily recognisable types, his use of free indirect style, together with his acute ear for well-timed comic dialogue, allows them to accumulate psychological depth.
Planer combines the novel's sustained humour with often tender insights into the confusion of men's emotions, but the comedy has the upper hand; Barry's night at the men's group is a perfectly paced comic scene balancing slapstick and wit, in the tradition of Kingsley Amis's Jim Dixon and his Merrie England lecture.

His only allies are the wise and good Librarian (who happens to be an orangutan), the beautiful yet deadly thief Conina (daughter of Cohen the Barbarian), and Nigel, the skinniest hero on the Discworld whose only heroic wisdom comes from a ghost-written book by Cohen the aforementioned Barbarian.
Sourcery is overflowing with typical Pratchett humor, but it also features an exciting, narrowly-focused storyline that provides a wealth of new information about the wizards of Unseen University, the brave and wise banana-craving Librarian, and the crucial role and importance of magic in the Discworld.
Cohen the Barbarian's daughter, Conina, and a zany hero-wannibe, Nigel, are great, supplying much fun.

 Bad News | Biography | MTV
Bad News, the parody of a bad heavy metal band, began as a 1983 episode from the Comic Strip, an English comedy troupe whose members numbered three of the four Young Ones (Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmonson, and Nigel Planer) and writer Peter Richardson (other members included Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders).
Edmonson played Vim Fuego, the egocentric guitarist of the group, Planer played Den Dennis, the metal purist and rhythm guitarist, Mayall played Colin Grigson, the talentless bassman, tolerated because he owns the P.A., and Richardson as Spyder Webb, the barely there drummer.
The 1983 special came at a creative high point for the Comic Strip team -- it was one of many well-done shows in that season, but time, numerous repeats, and the rise of the VCR raised Bad News to cult status, mainly among college students.
