Ha - reading that has just made me realise what a 'darts' name Bevins is! But Tony would be a better first name.Kirk Bevins wrote:http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/sport/470913 ... mpetition/
I noticed that too. Maybe I'll show her my organ on Wednesday.Rosemary Roberts wrote:The cartoon on page 8 of issue 1249 of Private Eye suggests Rachel for a political appointment. Not in very good company, admittedly.

Hope no one blinked.Phil Reynolds wrote:There is a strong possibility that I will be appearing on Midlands Today on BBC1 Midlands at 6.30pm today.
Evidently not even as long as that, as I just clicked on your link and it now leads to a report whose entire length is only 12:28.Phil Reynolds wrote:Not sure how long today's edition is there for, I think only until tomorrow's gets loaded in its place. The report begins at 13:52 and I appear at 15:37 for all of 5 seconds.
Yep, yesterday's teatime edition has now been replaced by today's lunchtime one.Derek Hazell wrote:Evidently not even as long as thatPhil Reynolds wrote:Not sure how long today's edition is there for, I think only until tomorrow's gets loaded in its place.

Media interest in this story shows no signs of abating, indeed quite the reverse. I've just come back from being filmed by two separate documentary crews: one for the German television station RTL, and one for an investigation by the BBC's Panorama, to be screened probably in the new year.Phil Reynolds wrote:It was about this story which made national news over a month agoGavin Chipper wrote:So what was it about?
I met his daughter last week. She's not a C4Cer and there was no particular medium, but still I thought I should record it here for posterity.Chris Davies wrote:Just seen Peter Davies on Only Connect.
Alive and well, though, right?Charlie Reams wrote: no particular medium
Wow, that bloke next to him really hates his guts.
Lol, I thought that too. And another guy further down the page with his hands over his mouth looked a bit like Jeff Clayton!Charlie Reams wrote:He also looks a bit like a Japanese Chris Cummins. Have we stumbled into the Countdown mirror world?
There's another namecheck for Kirk's darts achievements, in the latest issue of We Love Darts magazine. This time he was mentioned for reaching the semis of the UK Universities Darts Singles tournament, where he lost to eventual winner Lawrie Morgan.Sue Sanders wrote:Ha - reading that has just made me realise what a 'darts' name Bevins is!

This review beats the time the reviewer completely missed him out.Andy Wilson wrote:Oh Sue. Unlucky review Charlie. Does anyone even read the Wolfston Howler anyway?
Charlie's on YouTube!? I've been pestering him to make this happen for ages but now I'm actually a bit scared to watch after these reviews.Jon O'Neill wrote:This review beats the time the reviewer completely missed him out.Andy Wilson wrote:Oh Sue.

It also beats my friend Liam's YouTube comments:
Sorry for being unclear. Those are comments about my friend Liam doing stand-up, not Charlie.Matt Morrison wrote:Charlie's on YouTube!?

ohnoes! Charlie's character is well and truly assissignated!Sue Sanders wrote:*stalky stalky*
Wolfson Howler is a Cambridge uni comedy event (not a publication) - Charlie usually just does stand-up for his college comedy events, but got invited to do the Howler (apparently the person who runs it thought he was funnier than this student reviewer did).Andy Wilson wrote:Oh Sue.

Regarding the Hero question in the head-to-head, whilst I knew Enrique Iglesias had sung the song I knew it was highly unlikely to have been as far back as '93, but when you're that close to 2 grand you'll say anything that sounds remotely plausible. Of course it was a little disappointing to just miss out, but I'm really glad I got that far.I was just hoping to survive a couple of rounds, and not having to do The Walk was particularly nice.I've also discovered what my jinxes are now - competing against a David in a final of something and wearing a short-sleeved sky blue shirt are obviously not my good luck charms! I kept quiet about being a former Countdown runner-up until after the end, and they admitted they'd have voted me off sooner if they'd known.But since my last competitive appearance on tv ended in cafe-tieres it was great to go back on screen and do well.I had no idea Charlie did stand-up. I'm sure it's very funny, but I can't hear a fucking word.Marc Meakin wrote:As requested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAP8I75rgtU
Oh no, one person saw me doing some jokes and didn't like them. How humiliating! I posted this to Facebook myself so your attempt to embarrass me has failed and left you looking, as usual, rather bitter. Keep trying!Sue Sanders wrote:...the results of too much time on Google...
I could hear it once I put the headphones on. I thought it was actually quite good. It's not often you get a guy appear on stage dressed in a suit, talking in a monotone accent in detail about the act of bukkake and further trying to reclaim the act as a feminist event: whatever your problems with the conceptual framework you've got to admire the chutzpah.Gavin Chipper wrote:I had no idea Charlie did stand-up.

Quality. I watched it all the way through and particularly like the final image you end up as after the video plays through.Phil Reynolds wrote:Want a video presenter for your website? The second person on this page would be OK if he didn't wave his hands about so much.
I'll take Victoria thanks.Phil Reynolds wrote:Want a video presenter for your website? The second person on this page would be OK if he didn't wave his hands about so much.
Would you like me to give her your number? BTW, did you notice her "live demo" is for "Corby Rent-A-Skip".Jon O'Neill wrote:I'll take Victoria thanks.
I'd imagine he's going to be all over the papers tomorrow as well, seeing as how he's just been banned for 20 months for drink-drivingRichard Priest wrote:Not sure whether he's a c4cer but series 62 contestant Clarke Carlisle can be seen on page 59 of today's Daily Mirror shaking hands with Wayne Rooney.
Oh dear. That doesn't sound like Britain's brainiest player to me.Jon Corby wrote:I'd imagine he's going to be all over the papers tomorrow as well, seeing as how he's just been banned for 20 months for drink-driving
Yeah. He has had proper problems with booze in the past, so it's quite sad to see him fall off the wagon. Raheel Mirza has a lot to answer for.Andy Wilson wrote:Oh dear.

Yeah, he and Scott Gillies are shown just after the board is turned over.Andy Wilson wrote:Marcus Hares, was apparently on page 30 of Nuts magazine recently, with an article about the LARGEBAPS conundrum.
