    I was also on nationwide TV in America when I was younger - we were on holiday at the beach when a hurricane hit, and were evacuated. Since there weren't enough places to sleep at the shelter, my dad got the inflatable dinghy out from the car and I slept in that.

    It was the closing piece at the end of the coverage on the news: "And this young man looks like he's prepared for anything"

    I was on 15-to-1 twice.

    I thought it was an audition for a gang bang flick - gutted to find out it was a quiz show!!

    With John Leslie (what a honey), and the girl turnign the tiles was Simon Cowells girlfriend Terri (as Jenny Powell was having her baby at the time).

    I won 2 of the 3 rounds, but didn't have the most points in the end, cause I kept gambling and loosing!

    But I did win £250 of HMV vouchers (which at the time of being a skint permie was just awesome!) and a video camera (which at the time of being on a weekend away in Glasgow with lad, was also just awesome)

    It's was a great weekend (well, 2 weekends actually, as the first time I went they'd ran out of filming time).

    Frank Phillips, defending, said Dyer had taken hallucinogenic drugs prior to stealing the goats.

    "His recollection is extremely limited," said Mr Phillips, who described the case as "bizarre".
    "Initially, Dyer claimed that a Giant Alien Lizard had caused his actions through some unknown form of mind control, as part of a cunning plan to entrap an intergalactic war criminal.

    "Under further questioning by Swansea Police, he was forced to admit that this was such a preposterous notion that his actions must have been due to the drugs. He now accepts that the idea of a Giant Alien Lizard carrying out his nefarious schemes from a hole like Swansea is just ridiculous."

    Someone was taking the piss when they named the road.
    They just grabbed a handfull of scrabble blocks and threw them at a sign.

    He was doing the humane thing by putting it out of it's misery.

    Using the Blackadder defence:

    Melchett: Now, George. Do you remember when I came down to visit you when you were a nipper for your sixth birthday? You used to have a lovely little rabbit. Beautiful little thing. Do you
    remember?

    George: Flossy.

    Melchett: That's right. Flossy. Do you remember what happened to Flossy?

    George: You shot him.

    Melchett: That's right. It was the kindest thing to do after he'd been run over by that car.

    George: By your car, Sir.

    Melchett Yes, by my car. But that too was an act of mercy when you would remember that that dog had been set on him.

    George: Your dog, Sir.

    Melchett: Yes, yes, my dog.
    I was putting him out of the misery that I put him in in the first place
