Steven!



This comes from the BBC's Adam & Joe show podcast and cracks me up. I really think "STEVEN!" needs to be introduced to the US. Just remember, if you hear someone shout, "STEVEN!" you need to respond, "just coming." This happened to me in the store just the other day as some child's mother shouted, "Steven!" to which I responded, "Just coming." The look of terror in her eyes was priceless.

When they get to the book called "Say it with Snails" I get so tickled my eyes tear up.

Friday Night Comedy from BBC Radio 4

Quotes from BBC Friday Comedy News Quiz

"When Obama said that John McCain had endured things that most of us could not begin to imagine I immediately thought of brunch with the Palins."

"Every president has had an idiot brother, except for Bush who turned out to be the idiot brother."

"No one dared to believe that Americans would put aside their prejudices and elect a president with a brain."

Some Quotes from BBC's Mock the Week

Mock the Week

[on Palin]

"Being the Governor of Alaska is the equivalent of being the mayor of the Shetlands."

"If we were all married to who we went out with when we were 17, how shit would our lives be?"


[on the Large Hadron Collider]

"I'm sure they're going to find out some interesting things about protons but... I don't give a fuck."

"Small black holes are the worst kind: We'll all be slowly sucked towards Switzerland."


[on a ludicrously expensive watch bought by a footballer]

"For 36,000 pounds your watch had better come with a lot of gadgets. I, for instance, would want to be able to drive it."
