I'm currently mostly doing Listen & Often. It's a podcast we're using to fund new audio comedy like, for eg, James Pond, with David Mitchell, Tamsin Greig, Clare Foster and Rosie Holt.

If you're designing a website for a restaurant, my tip would be: making it easy to find the menu is important, a 30-year breakdown of the founder's original vision and evolving philosophy less important.

I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.

- If you were to commit a murder, how would you do it?
- It's got to be big! No slipping something into someone's drink, that's just pathetic. I'd use a steamroller, just leave a stain on the road. There's probably a couple of people I'd put under a steamroller, but I won't say who they are, otherwise when they see a steamroller coming their way they'll be on full alert. And steamrollers don't go very fast..."

Of all my various guesses, and I'm in sixth forms a lot, this is the main reason that sixth formers' written English is so bad. It's really, really bad. Much worse than you think, even from reading this (I mean, why would you believe me). Marking systems are designed to hide how bad it is.

The more of the Pope's AI encyclical that I read, and the bits about truth, lies and power, the clearer it becomes that he's not just listening to Rossum's Universal Robots, but also to: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

I'm not saying the Pope's encyclical about the meaning of life and AI was just an extended gloss on our robot musical because that's not for me to say: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Oh, no reason.
The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you're someone. You hear them shouting 'Heil, Spode!' and you imagine it is the Voice of the People. That is where you make your bloomer.
What the Voice of the People is saying is: 'Look at that frightful ass Spode swanking about in footer bags! Did you ever in your puff see such a perfect perisher?

petition for the academy awards to have "best acting" and "most acting" as two different categories, you give the most acting award to the types of performances they usually give it to and then best acting can go to actually good acting.

Some of the stray dogs living near Chernobyl have recently turned blue. This confused scientists for weeks, until they realized they had simply been rolling around in chemicals from a nearby set of portable toilets. 14/10 for all
a stray dog stands in a bushy area. the dog is blue with golden eyes. he looks majestic as he stares off into the distance.a group of 4 dogs rest together in a bushy area. two of the dogs are tan, one is black, and the last is blue with long, scruffy fur.a blue dog is mid-step as he walks through brush.
