What’ve I missed?

[si]

Been in hospital. Again. Is there anything you can tell me to save me looking through all these ‘new posts’?
Not that I’ll see them, cause I’m tending to steer clear of the laptap at the mo. So…oh, bollocks to it.

Topic

[Jonathan Capps]

Craig Charles has gone mental and changed his name to Robert Llewellyn.

[Dave]

Michael Jackson has died

[Pete Part Three]

Ganymede and Titan changed its name to Titan and Ganymede for 16 seconds.

Crazy times.

[Tarka Dal]

I made it 16.25

[JamesTC]

The colour orange was deemed too offensive by the BBC.

[Pete Part Three]

John said something derogatory about George and Mildred, Performing Monkey said something insightful and SoundableObject said that Colin Baker was a shit Doctor.

Crazy, crazy times.

[JamesTC]

Oh and we can’t forget the Ganymede and Titan official Series and episode ranking poll, Series VIII came on top with ‘Pete’ part 2 being voted the best episode. ‘Meltdown’ was in last because as everybody knows it is shit and all fans hate it.

[hummingbird]

I watched Series VIII and found that it was quite good, actually.

[Pete Part Three]

Yeah, me too.

Crazy, crazy, crazy times.

[JamesTC]

Oh I forget to say Pete, thanks for e-mailing me your Dibley family fan-fiction.

[Jo]

Iain Lee and Shane G got married, adopted an African baby and named him G&T.

[si]

I knew this was a mistake.

[Tonguetied]

I feel for you buddy, I really do.

[Pete Part Three]

Tonguetied returned.

Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy times.

Oh bollocks to you all.

My DVD recorder packed up twenty minutes into The Waters of Mars, and my copy of Star Trek failed to arrive this morning. Not having the great SF weekend I was anticipating.

You can come round this week sometime, I’ve still got it saved in HD on Sky+. Pester me on FB tomorrow.

[JamesTC]

Why not download it from Iplayer?

[Danny Stephenson]

Why not download it from Iplayer?

Even I’ve seen it on iPlayer. And I’m not that massive a fan of Doctor Who…

[Gwynnie]

You missed Karl’s birthday!

[TheLeen]

Rub it in, Gwynnie :p

[Gwynnie]

…That’s what she said!

[Tarka Dal]

So to speak.

[Gwynnie]

Yay!

[Ben Paddon]

> So to speak.

And immediately I’m reminded of a series one episode of Charlie Higson’s “Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)” reboot that featured Simon Day as a hired hitman who kept using bad metaphors and ending them with, “So to speak.”

It also featured Simon Pegg as a Christian Terrorist, and Alexis Denisof as an American something-or-other.

>Pester me on FB tomorrow.

Did that. No reply. Bastard.

Men.

[Gwynnie]

Well, the trick is to say “so to speak” after really obscure things, in order to confuse people. OR say something incredibly graphic and disgusting – and add “so to speak” at the end. Play it!

[TheLeen]

Play it. So to speak.

[Ben Paddon]

I refer to say “And in real life, too.”

[Carlito]

About the only amusing thing in Craig Charles’ The Log… How to Annoy People… respond to everything everybody ever says to you with “That’s what YOU think.”

[Gwynnie]

Oh dear, I do that a lot in real life, but mostly with “you hope” or “yeah, let’s go with that…”… people get confused pretty quickly!

[TheLeen]

Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

[ChrisM]

On a job course I go to there’s a Ukrainian tutor who says ‘man’ a lot at the end of sentences. It’s sounds slightly odd, amusing and cute all in one with her accent.

[Carlito]

Round here people use the word “like” to finish every sentence they say, like.

A bit like Milton Jones’ Geordie routine, like, except, y’know, in South Wales, like.

[ori-STUDFARM]

During my teens, we did that. But used the word(words?) “INNIT!” Supposed to have been “isn’t it”! not “in it”!

[Carlito]

Oh yeah, there’s loads of “innit” too. Often you’ll get an “innit, like”, which is about as much as I can take innit, like.

[Carlito]

Sometimes I’ve heard the words “innit like” used as a sentence.

MATE 1: This show is funny.
MATE 2: Innit, like.

MATE 1: That bird is lush/smart as fuck.
MATE 2: Innit, like.

And so on…

[Gwynnie]

Most students here use “like” in between pretty much every word.
“So it’s like, I went to her and was like, are you ok? and she’s was like no, and it was like really awkward”… not in a surfer dude way, but just listen to people talking and count the amound of times they say it, like.

[Danny Stephenson]

I say “sort of” a lot, i dont mean to, but I’ve found myself saying it a lot on the dwarfcasts…

[Ben Paddon]

So to speak.
