Something I forgot from Sunday's Would I Lie to You? recording: Havers saying that he found swimming with dolphins a bit unsettling because they were larger than he'd expected.

Mack: Did you think they were going to be pilchards? 'I can't wait to go swimming with the pilchards. My God, those pilchards are huge!'

When valderys and I were at said Would I ( Read more... )

Oh, I'd forgotten to mention one of my favourite parts of the Would I Lie to You? recording on Friday! Apparently, a woman once asked Lee Mack to sign her chest, but the pen she gave him didn't work, so without thinking he went over to her other breast and scribbled on it in an attempt to get the ink flowing again ( Read more... )

Two days ago, I went to a recording of Charlie Brooker's radio panel game So Wrong It's Right! Two episodes were recorded: the guests for the first were Mark Watson, Holly Walsh and Rufus Hound; the guests for the second were Fergus Craig, Sharon Horgan and Rufus Hound again. As ever, I've written up whatever I can remember.

Okay, I officially have far too many half-finished fics lying around. I'm going to go through my 'Unfinished Fanfiction' folder and list what I have in there, so I can see at a glance what's on the to-write pile. If anything catches your fancy, feel free to ask about it or just verbally kick me until it's finished. Listed in descending order of ( Read more... )

Managed, courtesy of totaldrwhofreak, to go to the second unbroadcast pilot of 10 O'Clock Live, the live current affairs programme with David Mitchell, Charlie Brooker, Jimmy Carr and Lauren Laverne! As ever, I have written down what I can remember for the benefit of those who weren't there.

It's odd, the psychological effect of carrying a Pokéwalker. Not only do I picture my Pokémon running along beside me and hear the Route 1 music playing in my head, but I actually feel safer when I'm walking on my own. Realistically, I know that a pixellated Nidoran in my pocket is unlikely to do much to protect me, but my irrational mind is still ( Read more... )

I'm not feeling at all well (sore throat, sniffles, dry cough; I sound a bit like Bob Dylan, and last night I was feverish enough to make walking home feel like trying to operate a videogame with unresponsive controls, although fortunately I feel slightly more in command of myself today), but am I going to let that keep me from making a stupid ( Read more... )

Last night, I went to the recording of an unbroadcast 10 O'Clock Live practice run, the live current affairs show that David Mitchell, Charlie Brooker, Lauren Laverne and Jimmy Carr are to be presenting next year. Like the Alternative Election Night, it was a little too reliant on the autocue, but I suppose with live television they have to limit ( Read more... )

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:

8.00 White Van Man
New series. 1/6. A surprising ( Read more... )

All right, having subjected you all to thousands of entries about something you don't watch for the past month and a half (er, thanks for sticking around, guys; I will almost certainly shut up eventually), I feel it's about time you got to choose what I write about. Therefore!

Give me a prompt (or several), and I'll try to write you a ficsnippet.I ( Read more... )
