Music journalists who spell it "vocal chords".

I hope it's bad subbing and not you. As opposed to bad subbing AND you.

The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis.

Hmmmmmm.

I mean, ankles are easy enough to break in vaguely fashionable shoes, without strapping 2m perpendicular levers to them and hurtling yourself down a glacier.

I mean, mesh vests and perspex boxes are Eurovision 101, so it will either win, or do a Fyr og Flamme. Nothing in between.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

You never say it in full?

I missed out "Marks" as an option, which is clearly the upmarket way...

When you say it out loud in full, do you say, eg..
"I'm off to Marks and Spencers"
or
"I'm off to Marks and Spencer"
or (silently judging)
"I'm off to Markses"?

Have you seen the video which explains how they filmed it, pre digital graphics? (Which I can't now find...)

Oh, me too! But this version's music was much more "Pied Piper-ish figure takes off children to their deaths..."

Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.

Phew. I wouldn't want you deported to, let's say, West Sussex.

They are lining him up to win in a future year, because they are making him sing in Swedish first before he graduates to something in English.

But Theo(z) is before him in that queue.

I always write what I think of them on it and send it back so they have to pay postage, and it supports my postie.

Surely every episode has at least one sex pest or proven ne'er-do-well which would make this problematic...
