Damian, that's old news!

If you moved to America, would you be a Republican?

Also, this must be a joke at my expense!

I had the Newsnight election special on my DVR, but I hadn't got round to watching it. Now you've ruined it for me. Thanks a lot.

Michelle Obama actually left a message on my machine, you know!

So, that's two American women I hope to see in Dictionary Corner on Countdown, Betty White and Michelle Obama!

But I see she was up for murder again in Boston.

She left Boston Legal! That show was canceled!

She married the original American host of Password. That's why I think she would be good in Dictionary Corner on Countdown.

They're still running the last series in the UK. We live in a different time warp from you.

There will be no more new episodes of Boston Legal after you're done watching it. Boston Legal is a good show, but it run its course here in America. That's why it's canceled.

That's the way the cookie crumbles!

Yes. It's a sad fact that cookies do eventually crumble. And that makes them no good for dunking in coffee.

Can you buy Hobnobs in the states? They go well with Countdown.

You can get them in New York - there's a grocery store for homesick British ex-pats, next door to a fish and chip shop called "A Salt and Battery". Richard Whiteley would have loved that.


Can you get them in Seattle, Jason?

You just want to be figurative, don't you, Rosemary?

They're a bit like a graham cracker, only made with oats.

We don't have those cookies here.

If we did, I would say, "Holy, Michelle Obama!"

Oh no, I've done no editing on the page. What it was, was that I mistyped the link before when I posted it, so I was correcting that so the link (to the Wiki page) worked :). If you look at an above post, you can see my original post, that you quoted, before I fixed the link :).
