I've got this exact one! Played it so much at uni

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

Like when login pages have "🚨🚨 INVALID EMAIL ADDRESS" and it's just you're still literally in the process of typing it in

Oooh! I went to see a recording of 'It's Not What You Know' he hosted for the radio, and he was great

Only half joking about Emma T too, she's got that welcoming host vibe for sure

Ha ha! I have decided a rotating trio of Daniel Day Lewis (in character), Emma Thompson and Jason Mantzoukas is actually the best way forward

Definitely. I bet they'll go a completely different way, it'll work brilliantly and I'll curse my lack of imagination

Bonjour!

It's difficult to get that mixture of high status cleverness/quickness and warmth, maybe Sally Phillips, Mike Wozniak, Phil Wang? Something's making my head go to Peter Serafinowicz too - he was on as a contestant, and has been presenting a show in the US

Ah thanks! Will read x

This just turned up in my YouTube algorithm, so it’d be rude not to share.

Richie: It's a Noddy video. Correction, a BLANK Noddy video
Eddie: Correct! Merry Christmas!
Richie: Well what use is that?
Eddie: Well you can use it to record Noddy on

YouTube video by Henry Mancini Henry Mancini - Baby Elephant Walk (Best Of Both Worlds, October 4th 1964)

Huh - that's what Henry Mancini looked like. I love this tune

You're right, I remember sometime last year this was all over the news - you're not supposed to rinse them first, just scrape. The dishwasher is better able to wash them if you don't coat them in water first. Plus it's a waste of water

What I've learned from the Césars tonight is that in France, the Mask doesn't say "Ssssmoking!!" he says "Splendiiiide!!"
