You should do something really out of the blue when walking off with your cheque, like "MONSTER RAVING LOONEY PARTY FOREVER!!!".

You'd get on the front page of The Sun at least.

Yeah, but they only have 30 secs to answer

Anyhow, don't blurt out anything, they just won't air it. Instead try to make a normal everyday sentence, that when taken another way could possibly make people realise you are actually the anti-christ. Or somesuch.

Someone tape it and upload it onto the internet or something.... because we don't recieve televion broadcasts from across the ocean...

My cat's secret lab satellite dish might pick it up, but I don't think she'd like it if I used it to watch TV very much.

Good luck on getting past the fastest finger first bit. Some of them are really difficult. If it's a simple one putting stuff in alphabetical order and you get it wrong, your mates are gonna rib you for the rest of your life.

Just pray the other 9 players are idiots, so at least a few of you get onto the chair. What will be annoying is if some clever clogs gets first go and ties up most of hour by himself.

I might tape it and turn it into an mpeg or something so we can all admire your genius (or laugh at your stupidity )

Boo!

Daz, have I told you lately how I'm your bestest friend?

"bluray", eh?
They really shouda ran that by some geeks before they came up with the name - it sounds too much like Blury ( just like sexay is an extension of sexy, which I just happen to say alot ).

Anyhoo...

Good luck on Monday

I've never heard of him or his show

However, a swift foray into the world of Google tells me who he is and I have to say I really can't see the resemblance.

There's no resemblance...the loose link that this 'resemblance' comes from is the same thing as two white guys looking similar...they are similar in one way... (at least I think it is...wearing glasses and being fully/partially bald is not similarity)

I don't see why people think that 133b is spelt 1337?!

God, how can you people go totally off subject and keep hounding the bloke about how amazingly gay he looks?

No, instead we should keep to what we are all here for. Yes, hounding him about loaning us money for expensive things Come on mate, I'm only talking about a gold body kit for me car

I guess that depends on your viewpoint....

Anyway sailer boy, you will be so loaded that you won't mind giving me a fair bit of money to upgrade my VDU. My current one but set up on a frame with 3 other ones would be nice. Should give me a 40.2 inch screen with 3200x2400 resolution. Now come on, don't be tight....

Cheers

Ps. If you are a bit of a thickie then I will settle for some Jaffa cakes. Suddenly have a craving...
