‘What did David Mitchell once write — “What is an ocean but a multitude of drops?”’ He’s wasted doing those comedy shows with Robert Webb...

This is such a truly great, great dish, but it’s really only worth making for four and up. You can probably freeze any leftovers but I’ve heard the beans don’t freeze particularly well.

Their Slide-Show Man (Craig, The Slide-Show Man) is still on vacation, working on whole new other ways to truly piss off the dedicated commentararti

‘ Do you remember that episode of The Simpsons from way back in season two when Homer’s brother, the car manufacturer, etc, etc...’ Fuck me, that was season two...

There is a German digestif called Underberg, a herby brown liquid which comes in cute one-shot bottles.

I’m amazed no one’s come up with Rudolph The Zebra-Faced Loony....

I remember reading that Hardee’s review. Hilarious, just genius. The burger probably knocks a couple of weeks off your life but still....

‘I was given assurances you’d be billed above the special offer on a box of six bear claws...’
