Saying the Plot Out Loud
Sep. 3rd, 2013 07:18 pmVery much enjoyed John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme. The sketch about the radio afternoon drama, Saying the Plot Out Loud was a particularly funny spoof of all those terribly worthy things that R4 churns out during the week where everything is spelt out in painfully obvious detail. The sign off message was particularly good:

I think all radio plays should finish like this...

Mornington Crescent
Nov. 21st, 2005 10:00 amI've just happened across the Encyclopedia Morningtonia, which provides some pretty interesting background on the game, although the experienced player will still not want to be without their trusty copy of Stobold...
Never ask a doctor...
Apr. 28th, 2005 05:49 pmA piece of friendly advice: never, ever, ask or allow others to ask ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vincel or doctor_squale about anything medical or you'll suddenly find yourself in Something About Mary territory.
In related news, here's a particularly fine nursing joke from my sister:
