Punch That Missile Right In The Face.

Today, I wandered onto Twitter to search for reactions to the revelation that David Cameron and Nick Clegg had poisoned the leader of another country, and then I remembered that that was actually just a dream I had. Whoops.

A listing from today's edition of the Radio Times that I rather enjoyed:

Today, I wandered onto Twitter to search for reactions to the revelation that David Cameron and Nick Clegg had poisoned the leader of another country, and then I remembered that that was actually just a dream I had. Whoops.

Which country?

A surprising look at the lives and work of Britain's independent tradesmen. In this edition, welder Jim Brown has an unusual commission: to build a cage for the bondage dungeon of ex-gangland enforcer Dave Courtney.

That sounds incredibly fascinating.

I'm not entirely certain of which country it was; I think it was either an African country or a small European one (perhaps Andorra?).

It does sound sort of intriguing. Sadly, the signal for Channel Five is terrible here, so I couldn't actually watch it.

Would it actually make the news if David Cameron and Nick Clegg poisoned the leader of Andorra? Who is the leader of Andorra?

[rionaleonhart]

...oh. Turns out Andorra has two leaders, and one is the President of France (the only reigning monarch actually elected in regular intervals by popular vote, apparently!). So, yes, it probably would make the news (I think it would in any case; the Prime Minister isn't supposed to be poisoning anyone, no matter how obscure a head of state they may be), but I'm not sure that works with my dream. Let's say it wasn't Andorra.

including a dark and intriguing subplot about Mimi the poodle and her dark and troubled past...

I HOPE THIS IS A REFERENCE TO MY DREAM.

I also hope that the dogs are just normal dogs, rather than talking dogs, and all the exposition is clumsily done via one-off human characters saying 'Man, d'you ever think that Rottweiler might be dealing drugs?'

[wolfy_writing]

Riona! She should play all of the humans, and there should be split-screen technology so it's hours of Riona talking to herself going "Do you think that dog was dealing drugs, Riona?" "Yes, Riona, that appears to be the case." "Well, this seems like the start of a near-fatal downward spiral, doesn't it, Riona?" "I quite agree, Riona." (Yes, she has to use her own name every sentence. And yes, her real name is Riona; she just doesn't realize it.)

I'm still waiting for Zac Efron Kisses All the Ladies to get picked up.

[rionaleonhart]

I'm going to have to watch that on iPlayer, probably, because I fear it's going to clash with Josh Stevenson Kisses All the Dudes, but I am also looking forward to this.

[rionaleonhart]

Ahahaha, I considered that when writing this entry but somehow managed to miss the tiny text. That's genius.

YOU JUST PUT THIS IN BECAUSE YOU KNEW I'D HAVE TO COMMENT, DIDN'T YOU

Maybe slightly. AND IT WAS EVIDENTLY THE RIGHT DECISION, BECAUSE OTHERWISE I WOULD NOT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DELIGHTFUL HORROR OF THESE CLIPS. Brooker would be furious about the insane news ticker in the octopus one. Write that fic.
