Watched the third SNL UK episode (by accident). Was slickly done, and a sketch referencing the Traitors was quite decent. However, I barely laughed at all. I know that's partly down to a lack of familiarity with the comedians involved, who, I'm assured are very talented. Maybe they'd be great doing...

The surname Jeckyll, as in "Strange Case of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde" is pronounced Jee-kell, not Jeck-ell. I remember as a child seeing an episode of Loony Tunes where Bugs Bunny meets Dr Jeckyll, and being amazed that Bugs kept calling him Dr Jee-kel. I put it down to American stupidity, ...

Whatever one thinks of people like Ian Huntley and Ian Watkins (or anyone called Ian), prisons should be able to protect them from other prisoners. Having seen who's allegedly done him in, I'm wondering if that person thinks he's higher on the moral crime scale compared to Huntley. If so, we're loo...

Ok so if you've been caught doing something bad at home to try and deflect attention away from that you pick a fight with one of your enemies. Isn't this exactly what Trump is doing ? Well yeah.

This is not really a coincidence, but it is a good story that I thought I would share. At the start of last summer, one of my cousins was out playing with his dog, throwing a tennis ball to it.

Enhanced games.
I cant see the fuss tbh.
There is no way these athletics can compete again conventionally and those athletes getting away with cheating would likely turn to these games as the money is good
