Money for Nuthin'

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Alex James (I was informed he played bass in The Blurs) said about 17 words on "Have I got News for You?" tonight, how much do you reckon that cost us licence payers... £143 per word... more?

at least he didn't mention his cheese farm or whatever the feck it is, and his music is crappy

Maybe he got a blister on his little finger?
Or a blister on his thumb?

My all time favourite "Have I got news for You " was the one with Paula Yates.Mister Merton and Mister Hislop were on fine form that night , funniest episode ever.They had actually read the book she was plugging and ripped her a new bottom.
Strange how they don't repeat it.

fair enough, you didn't see him sit there and say 'hee~haw' for 22 mins, then then pocket a wedge for 15 secs worth?

Actually I did. But I could still make a list of people as long as my arm who annoy me more.

Plus I do read his column in the Observer Food Magazine :innocent: :oops:

My favourite episode was when Roy Hattersly didn't show so they put a tub of lard (literally) on Paul Merton's team.

He still won :lol:

I did watch it last night but I don't remember much; too many wine :lol:

One, Two, Many, Lots, Beer, Floor! A numerical system I can get behind...

:wink:

I've got a mid-nineties HIGNFY annual (speccy geek that I am) that features the Tub extensively. One of the most popular contestants ever. A very nerdy achievement table put the Tub mid-range, way ahead of most politicians and MPs!

More processed goods on quiz shows, methinks?

Have I Got More News For You tonight.. Anne Widdecombe actually said "You're being paid to be on this show, make an effort!"

Mind, it wasn't that bad.
