Specially filmed scene featuring Matt Smith and Dermot O'Leary as shown in the National Television Awards.
Oh show. Never change. ♥ (ETA: Very British TV centric...)

And I say this as someone trained through untold hours of Top Gear watching to laugh at jokes based on British cultural references that I don't actually get and (this is the part that confuses me) find them funny anyway (WTF, brain?).

ETA: Re. Top Gear, then it's partly just the way it's done. They're grown men being idiots - that in itself is funny. :)

True. All in the tone and such. I'm pretty sure I'm conditioned to find anything that comes out of Jeremy Clarkson's mouth funny no matter what. Plus their jokes about British culture tend to go by in a blink, so you're carried along by the patter even if you don't get all of it. The references here were a bit more sustained.

Ooooh yes. I didn't watch it at all.

He has a column in The Sunday Times where he writes about cars and I read it every single week, even though I find cars very, very dull. But all the extra stuff makes it worth it!

Oh it was all injokes.

I shudder to think what would happen if I ever tried to have a conversation with a mechanic, though. All my car terminology is British.

Seriously? I seem incapable of retaining any information they sprout.

Heh.

Well, I'd never pass muster as a gear head, but I now know exponentially more about cars than I ever did before and have, like, opinions about them and things.
I think I see a lot of it from a design angle--not just aesthetically, but in dealing with decisions about balancing functions, compromising this for that . . . There is a part of my brain that genuinely believes there is a single best possible way to do anything--tap into that and I'll be lost and never quite able to give it up ever again.

I just leave that to my husband. Not that I couldn't have opinions, but they'd inevitably differ from his and no way am I arguing with him about *cars*! ;)

Oh I understand that. Very much.

I sort of wish he'd been a head in a jar, but I don't suppose they had the budget... ;)
And I totally believe the handcuffs!
Oh god yes! It made all kinds of sense!

package arrived and Fi is delighted; especially with the fact that it comes from Bethlehem, and we're both thankful that you went to the effort. I'm listening to Punk music programme on Radio Ulster right now, so am able to use Fi & John's dongle to let you know.

Re: Multus Amor from Blairgowrie
And you know how you've talked about things working out - that's absolutely how I felt on Sunday. We have a tiny little shop at the back of church with cards and things, and I wasn't terribly optimistic about finding something nice - and then there were these beautiful wooden rosaries - from Bethlehem. Free.
*sends many hugs*
