Green Day's Burnout came on my ipod the other day and I was reminded how I used to think the lyric "I live inside this mental cave " was "I live inside this pencil case", even though the first time I heard the song was when I bought the album and therefore had the lyric sheet. I ...

Hmm. I went on down for everyone or just me and it said it was just me and when I clicked the link to the site on that page it loaded but it still doesn't come up when I type apterous.org in to my address bar.

It isn't working for me either, This is the message I'm getting:

Are you insane? It's one the best game shows ever. Tons of questions, some good banter and the final chase is usually hugely exciting. I just wish it didn't clash with Pointless as I feel Pointless is the better show to play along with.

I also have a team.

Why don't more acts in the Eurovision do native traditional music from their country? I'd love to see that. Most of the songs tonight sounded exactly the same. I think ideally you should be able to have a decent guess at what country the act is from just by hearing the song. I will say though that t...

This. Why are people happy to spend this much or more every month on phone contracts? It's like they've been brainwashed or something. Or maybe they want something you don't want, and are prepared to pay for it accordingly. Then again, isn't that what they'd think if they had been brainwashed? I th...

As far as I understood, there used to be soap and shampoo. Shower gel is some new-fangled thing that can be used for both. That's its whole raison d'etre. Isn't it?

I notice no one else has said Congratulations. Although you'd probably want to shorten it to Conny or something.

Just watched this. I don't think he's fudged in the normal sense. I think it was more like, in apterous terms, he thought he could do it but misclicked twice, which obviously you cant do so Nick was right to stop him. Having said that, I'm interested to know what most people think about fudging, eit...

Does anyone know what the rules are for the hundred people they ask? During your 100 seconds while your naming things, if you give a wrong answer, does that negate any of the right answers you give?

Jim, that's precisely why I've always thought it was an unlikely #1. There were plenty of dance records topping the charts around that time, but for one as spectacularly average as The Real Thing to climb to the top... well, it was huge surprise to me when the chart was counted down on Radio 1.

Christmas number one is a special case in itself. As for Your Woman, doesn't Mark Radcliffe take credit for that? 6 Music have been playing Gotye a lot too actually, a rare song that crosses over between their playlists. I guess. But it certainly doesn't sound like a Christmas song or even the kind...

Also I've just found this. It's a bit shit but I just thought it was funny as these are far and away my two most favourite songs of recent times.

Oddly catchy song, nice to see it doing well in the charts. Shame about the nursery rhyme element though. Yes, I was amazed when I found out that it was no. 1 in the charts the other week (still is, I think), but then those bastions of cool at Radio 2 have been all over it for the last month or so,...

Indeed. But why didn't the journalist say that Sally just gave a reading for a fictional person at the actual show?

I could be wrong about this but I think some band or music artist put tickets to their concert in one of their CDs in a shop without advertising it as any sort of competition. Just a nice surprise for whoever managed to buy that particular record.

Who is calling who cunts and arseholes? Pretty much every sane person who isn't one of the odious clique would agree that Corby on here is a cunt. I don't think there's any serious doubt about that.

You actually listened to the whole thing? I've not watched countdown in a while but I stuck it on today and ended up having to turn it off again. The woman is poison.

The game is going to be interrupted anyway with the ad break. I'm not seeing the big deal here. I personally have little interest in the OoW section but I can understand Damien's point. It certainly makes more sense than believing he puts it there so people wont fast forward it. I think I remember ...

Mark James

I think he likes it where it is because otherwise people would be more likely to fast forward through it. This is more of a justification than the genuine reason, I think, because it's far more messy this way and Damian knows that. I agree with Damien and I don't really see what's so messy about it...

The impression I got was that Damian prefers to defer to Susie rather than overrule her, which I think is sensible - Susie's a lexicographer, she's studied words and their usage for years, so it's expected that she's better placed than anyone in the studio to decide whether a word is acceptable or ...

Mark James

You know those word wheel puzzles you see in newspapers and the like where you have to find as many words as possible that contain the centre letter? They don't allow plurals at all. I think that could be a solution. Actually, that would suck, but I just thought I'd put it out there.
