I enjoyed it. I mean it was far from the best thing on TV, and it was often silly... and I wasn’t a massive fan of the ending, I kinda wish Arthur had learnt Merlin’s secret a few episodes earlier than the finale, as his reaction was just crammed into part of the last episode and not really explored properly... but…

And forcing QI to constantly feature such talented and funny women as Sarah Millican, Sandi Toksvig, Victoria Coren and so on has absolutely ruined it! I completely resent how entertained I’ve been by the women on that show, it’s as if they’re trying to portray my gender as being just as capable of wittiness and…

Remember the fuss over Gwen being black in “Merlin”? A lot of people claimed their problem was historical accuracy... in a show with dragons and magic.

So where exactly is the scam alluded to in the headline? A scam is something like a con, I’m like 99.9% sure it doesn’t cover simple shoplifting. I was hoping for clever trickery!

At least in the UK, we’re getting the opportunity to watch that “Mozart In The Jungle” thing until Sunday. Which is hardly as convenient as torrenting it purchasing a legitimate copy of it on physical media to watch when I actually feel like watching it. Actually wait, with Amazon’s massive tax evasion in the UK, why…

Can’t tell you if Canada is, but the UK one certainly doesn’t seem to be. By the way, going to “Prime membership” pages and clicking to sign up shouldn’t (assuming Amazon Canada is anything like Amazon UK) charge you for anything, it’ll just show you the current prices.

Women should be high heeled and pregnant in the kitchen.

Those charges were pretty much proven false. Not only did he get acquitted in court, but the father of the child either admitted or was caught out on (can’t remember which) planning the whole case as a way of extorting money from Jackson. I mean he obviously really loved children, but there’s no indication that that…

Just gonna gently mention to you, “retarded” is considered a really offensive word nowadays. I mean, literally speaking you’re likening developmentally disabled people to idiotic internet commenters, and that is so not fair on the former (who, on the whole, tend to be far nicer people than the latter)!

Alternatively, they’ll keep the seal but change the village’s name to GayChokeySexVille. They get to keep their not-really-historical seal doodle, and nobody gets confused anymore about what it means. It’s a win-win, even if it remains mildly irresponsible to advocate continuing your erotic asphyxiation sessions when…

Maybe they’re into erotic asphyxiation. Don’t judge.

You mean the object of the game was to have a friendly naked wrestling match with a tied up Native American woman, surely.

Saying that we should stop drinking milk because 60% of us can’t digest it is like saying we should stop all homosexual behaviour because (some indeterminate amount but above 50)% of us can’t have an emotionally satisfying romantic relationship with someone of the same gender. Not in the sense that it’s…

I’ll become interested in Hilary’s politics once she stops trying to form opinions on topics that she’s not even remotely qualified to speak about. Like her opinion that “experts” can find a way to give the government access to encrypted communications/storage without making said encryption more vulnerable, which is…

What’s the point in legalising it if we can’t continue to childishly snigger at politicians “researching” marijuana?

I had this CD at a similar age, my big sister explained what a 69 was so I wouldn’t freak out my mother by singing about them.

For that last one too, you’re a legit supervillain! “Evil mastermind” is just not strong enough!

(Mildly off-topic) didn’t Darwin come up with the current theory of evolution, though? I mean, weren’t his peers who were exploring evolution looking at other possible mechanisms, while it’s Darwin who figured out it was “natural selection”, was based on hereditary traits, and all that sort of thing?

Like many Brits, my cuisine is very international. Curries, kebabs, pizzas, Chinese food, sushi, stollen, baklava, chili con carne... all these things are yummy and beloved in the UK. As for our own cuisine, I’ll say it again - haggis is absolutely delicious! And kedgeree (an early example of Anglo-Indian cuisine…
