XFM Podcasts 6, 7, and 18 are my favourites. Particularly the football chants in 7 and their version of Rudebox in 18.

Thanks mate, those are some good choices.

Edit: Oh wait, no. Never mind. My iphone's just flipped out and gotten rid of most of my podcasts and all of my music. And I have no computer to hook it up to. Thanks Steve Jobs!

I remember one Come Dine With Me where this woman who was obviously a massive alcoholic and her main course was fajitas, where she just went into Asda and bought the old el paso kit for it, then afterwards made someone else cook the meal she was supposed to because she was passed out on her bed due to being completely wrecked. I think her overall score was 7.

It's beautiful television.

I KNEW THIS WAS AN EPISODE. I was arguing with a friend trying to tell them this episode actually happened and I thought I was making things up. Thank you for confirming the fact that my friend is an idiot.

My better half loves this. I checked it out one episode and it's so bizarre. I think I just like catching a glimpse at such an alien lifestyle through the safety of the television.

Still fasting from TV until the Royal Wedding is over though... Sick of the adverts.

That was the best Rock and Chips episode yet. There were some great quips and one-liners the earlier episodes lacked. Hopefully John Sullivan had written a couple of extra episodes before he died because I'm warming to the series.

Ah yes, Preston. All of that was weird though. That alcoholic got pissed and made a fool of herself every night, then there was Bernard who was a weird carpet salesman. He gave all his guests a pinapple rug, and ended up crying and arguing with the drunk woman each evening excluding the one where she slept through it all. Bernard also boasted about his lovemaking skills, as he was showing the cameraman the mirror facing his bed.

While maybe a bit :tinfoil: but did anyone else notice that, in the news clip repeadedly shown today of Nick Clegg talking to Scottish people or whoever, there was a video box of the film "Unforgiven" in the background turned directly towards the camera and that the angle of the shot was "off" to the point that it was done to include it?

Well, everything's going according to plan so far. I've no idea what time it started, i just woke up and caught a glimpse of it as my parents watched it on TV so i'm presuming i've missed some of it and now i'm going to happily sit in my room and either dick around on the xbox or the internet for a few hours until it all fucks off.

If it wasn't for that damned snippet that i caught a few minutes ago i might have gone through the whole day blissfully unaware that it was on.

I noticed it on the lunchtime news, but I'm sure a verbal reference was made to it at the start of the clip.

My plan to sleep through it was interrupted by someone texting me, so I switched it on so I could switch it off again and just caught Kate completely blanking the Unknown Warrior. I didn't know she'd had the Royal lobotomy already.

I watched the wedding, and it was lovely, but I'm a girl and wanted to see the hats and dresses. No hilarious live-TV errors, although at one point the ITV reporter was forced to wear a Scout neckerchief and constantly looked terrified at being amid the great unwashed and their comedy Union Jack hats.

The BBC website gets shoddier each time it gets updated and simplified. Once in a while you find an old bit of news with the old design and I think it looks better but at the moment the bbc news site looks like a newspaper from the 19th century. Apologies if any of you work on the BBC website but, change it back for fricks sake. It's not facebook.

Everybody in my house was watching the royal wedding so I watched a bit of it, was sick because I was so hungover then watched Robocop.

The hats were awesome. Fergie Jr had an especially distracting fascinator that looked like poop.

The dress was boring. Too much like Grace Kelly's which is a shame since she's another princess who died in a nasty car crash. Would it have killed them to crack a smile during the ceremony? Are all Anglicans that miserable?

It's embarrasing, at one point he was excitedly talking through the menu and started to go on about imagining being there and gosh, how amazing it'd be. The rest of it is just gushing over the most inane minutiae possible and interviewing the dirty proles
