I find when I'm feeling lazy I still bite the excess sponge round the edge but then eat the middle in one go. A much more satisfying orangey bit/other parts ratio imo

Another fun thing to do w/ jaffa cakes is to extract the jelly then throw it at the ceiling. That's never coming down.

On another note, the last episode of Fleabag just killed me. What a strange, depressing, but watchable series.

Fleabag was excellent yeah. The first 2 episodes are hilarious comedy before it morphs into a rather poignant personal drama with funny moments. Definitely worth a watch.

If you still haven't watched it, check out People Just Do Nothing on iPlayer. Amazing mockumentary about a Brentford pirate radio station. I've been watching it since it was buried in the 11pm timeslot on BBC3, the third season has just started on iPlayer and is being shown on BBC2 too.

It's pretty good, even if the main character is massively David Brent like. I feel quite forgiving though as from what I've read these guys literally just started off making funny youtube videos, and have managed to turn that into 3 decent series of comedy for the BBC. Plus they obviously know the subject matter completely

Yeah, they started out doing sketches on YouTube. And I know a lot of musicians are huge fans of them, because the parody is so clearly affectionate and comes from such obvious fans.

Right, I'm looking forward to tonight's Casualty series 31 kick-off, and I do'nt care who knows it :colbert: They're saying loads of 'faces from the past' are in the episode (which, if you read the cast list on Radio Times, completely spoils the surprise). Myself am holding out for Guppy piloting what appears, from the trailer, to be a helicopter that's not only in distress but quite possibly augering in on the A & E department. Dude went down to London about 10 years ago and never reported back in.

I think the fact it took place on set probably meant that it was relatively cheap compared to some other stuff they've done.

agreed. but I really also liked Neville Longbottom driving TR2, imagine if his robot had more power....

Also poor Thor getting more and more battered, it was painful but fun to watch.

I kinda digged all of the finalists. It was a pretty good episode. Hopefully there'll be a series 2 and the teams will be able to take advantage of all the extra time to do wonders to their robots. I'm looking forward to seeing how things could improve.
