  It is a common drinking song which appears in its entirety in Jaws.  From
memory (ack) it goes something like:

  Show me the way to go home,
  I'm tired and I wanna go to Bed,
  I had a little drink about an hour ago
  And it's gone streight to my head.

After a few drinks it's more like

  Home me the way to go show,
  I'm bed and I wanna go to tired,
  I had a little hour about a drink ago
  And it's head streight to my gone.

Let's not be altogether too hasty on this. 'Vin de Loo' bashing is fun
and all, but it can easily be overdone...

Also, I saw the _Better than Life_ book shelved as if Grant/Naylor was a
real person... It may be because the cover misleads them that don't

     That may be so Steve, but I though the Cat's problem with the gloves  
was that their *COLOR* Marigold didn't go with the Blue outfit he was  
wearing.  Remember the Cat is very fashion conscious.

Summary: Seasons I and II -actually 11 episodes

KTEH says they are showing Red Dwarf seasons I and II
on Sunday, and repeating I on Monday. Monday is fine
but I found a problem with Sunday.

The TV Guide lists times and a few synopses: the first
episode is at 4 and says, "11 episodes follow", but only
10 episodes actually follow, and are in turn followed by
an Outer Limits and a Secret Agent. What gives? Is there
an episode missing, and if so, which one? When will it be
aired (if ever)?

Sunday: 4:00, 5:15, 5:55, 6:35, 7:15, 7:50
	8:30, 9:10, 9:50, 10:30, 11:05

Also, one can describe a certain shade of bright yellow as marigold
(after the plant) which is where the gloves of that ilk get their brand name.

On a slightly different tack, am I the only one who finds entries like:

Rather annoying? After all why not just replace the entire quote file with:

If its a quotes file, then give us the #*&^ing quotations, not just pointer

People have phone sex, and TinySex (or net.sex to be more general) ...

Right about now, most people would be saying the standard, "But sex is
not all that's important in a relationship."

I, however, won't say that, because, after all, it's Rimmer we're talking about.

This is even proven in the episode `Holoship', where, shortly after learning
that the ship has a sex deck, and that health regulations state that all crew
must have sex twice per day, Rimmer tells the captain, "Everything I've ever
wanted in my life is on this ship."

The studio audience didn't catch the joke, and I suppose many viewers didn't,
either.

Holograms can probably smell as well as they can hear or see. It's all

Yup, click up another one.

He can smell the camphor wood (and Lister's moon-boots come to think about)
but he can't taste - Banana and Crisp sandwich from Hitler's briefcase
in 'Timeslides' when he ends up not dead - for a while anyway.

Well those were holographic drinks though remember?

RIMMER: "Holly, give me another shot."

Which holly was simulating and inputting the data into the holographic suite.


Also it *is* possible for him to taste if he can smell since taste is mostly
made up from smell with a few extra bits like texture and tastebud senses. That
is why your taste sometimes disappears when you have a cold. So if the light
bee can smell by analysing air molecules that drift by it could probably give
him a very weak sense of almost taste. The real thing is better though so when
he gets a chance ("Bodyswop") he eats as much as he can!

I beg to differ--he CAN taste holographic food, as per the part where 
Lister recommends a sandwitch (forget the exact description, but I know
it had chutney in it) to Rimmer, and he compares the sandwich to Lister.
Also the part in Me^2 where Lister gets him drunk on holographic liquor
just before asking him the meaning of Gaspacho (sp.) Soup.
 
Come to think of it, why would Rimmer go crazy when he gets a chance
to swap bodies with Lister because he'll be able to eat again?  I'd think
that holographic food would be just as good, but less fattening...
 
(Of course, he wasn't worrying about fattening, now was he? :)

It should be 'Marigolds'. They are a brand name for rubber gloves in the UK.

OK, I don't mind the transgression of the holo-cage/light-bee/motorcycle,
but in RD3#2 (Black Hole). RImmer and Lister crash on the ice planet after 
Holly sees 5 Black (grit) holes. 

But, how does RImmer smell the burning Camphor wood? He's a hologram.

But then again, it doesn't really matter. Does it? I love the show.

        it went straight

    Whereever I may roam,
    Across land or sea or <???>
    You'll always hear me singing this song:
    Show me the way to go home.

At least I think that's how the rest of it goes.  The swing band I used to
play in would usually play this as the last number of the night.
