And He Went! With A Quack And A Waddle And A Quack!

Here is something I have been enjoying far too much: a compilation of Rob Brydon singing one song to the tune of another on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. His performance of 'Who Do You Think You're Kidding, Mr Hitler' to the tune of 'Yesterday Once More' (four minutes in) is one of the best things I've ever heard, although I also very much enjoyed 'Anarchy in the UK' to the tune of 'Just When I Needed You Most'.

It doesn't have his spectacularly creepy rendition of the theme from Jim'll Fix It to the tune of 'Mad World', but you can hear that here, in a compilation that also includes David Mitchell singing 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' to the tune of the theme from The Muppet Show, Tony Hawks singing 'Girlfriend in a Coma' to the tune of 'Tiptoe through the Tulips' and Harry Hill singing 'The Ugly Duckling' to the tune of 'Without You'. It is glorious.

Recently, I've been seeing posters at bus stops around Brighton advertising mobile phones with Facebook or Twitter compatibility. The problem is that the messages the adverts use to illustrate this exciting feature are so incredibly banal: 'Sun is shining!' and 'Babysitter sorted. Phew!'

Surely the message you intend to convey is 'buy our phone so you can keep up with all the incredibly interesting messages your friends are putting out on Twitter', advertisers? Here are some suggested tweets for your next poster.

- Turns out genies are real. Any wish suggestions?
- Bored. Exhausted the local culture already. This is apparently the only part of Pluto with Internet reception, just my luck.
- ZOMBIES TOO LATE HERE SAVE YOURSELVES RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN
- First person to RT gets half my lottery winnings.
- @hypotheticaltwitters suggestion didn't work. tigers asleep again but wont be for long. any other brilliant ideas?
- Look behind you.

You don't have to pay me; I'm just happy to help.
