Transvision Vamp - I Want Your Love
What the actual... well, any swear word you like, really?
It has the lyrical depth of Justin Bieber, without the musical talent. That's a mighty impressive combination. -

Just sketched out a film plot with a cow-orker ( Read more... ) -
The only thing worse than an earworm...
... is an earworm where you have a small riff going back and forth in your head, but can't remember where it's from.

Your book smells of poo
A colleague pointed me at yesterday's Start the Week on Radio Four. This week, it's four historians arguing about World War II.
He described it as being like Newman and Baddiel's History Professors, who act roughly as follows:

*takes a copy of Prof2's book and sniffs the pages*

Oh, well, that shows what I know
I was commenting to a friend the other day that I hadn't seen River Song (Alex Kingston) in anything else that I could remember.

Oh. 160 episodes of ER.
