The hype surrounding them made me avoid them like the plague initially, but I’ve now realised that Arctic Monkeys are actually quite good.

Mash-ups are, generally speaking, always fun (see what I did there?).

If you don’t already like Girl Talk, you should.

The Ancient Greeks had no word for the colour blue. In the Iliad, Homer describes the sky as being bronze, because of the confusion during translation.

Robots will rule the world someday. Trust me on this one…

Never Mind The Buzzcocks is approximately 700 times better than Spicks And Specks. If you’re an Aussie that has not yet been exposed to the superior NMTB, check it out. The host is a lovely young man named Simon, and Bill Bailey is a team captain. Manny from Black Books!

Russell Brand is pretty good. Ponderland, especially.

If I could marry a website, I’d marry IMDb.

  1. Wow! Another aussie who knows about nmtb. That was the first episode I saw too… searching Noel Fielding on youtube? Me too.

    I think if I was gay and it was legal, I’d probably marry simon amstell.

  2. Yep exactly, I think I might have been searching for 3rd series Mighty Boosh and stumbled across NMTB.

    Ditto re: Simon, he’s great. I tried watching some of the eps before he was host and it just wasn’t anywhere near as good.

  3. Yeah, I didn’t find them as funny either. Simon’s got some sass. I read somewhere that he used to host a show on Nickelodeon, but got kicked off for teasing the children.

  4. Gotta agree with you about arctic monkeys (love the new video clip, teddy picker), girl talk (seen the guy last year, danced all night) and specially simon amstell (I’ve watched all the episodes of popworld in youtube). Too bad he’s gay, though, he would could made a fantastic boyfriend…

  5. Popworld? Now there’s another show I must take a look at, even if it is just a show about pop.

    Too bad he’s a minor British celebrity, he would make a great bitch-session buddy. If I was gay though… I’d probably be attracted to men.

    It’s funny how many girls wish gay guys were straight. You don’t hear many straight guys going “Damn, sucks Ellen Degeneres is a lesbian…” :P
