As we enter the Lemsip season, a public service reminder:
I always used to assume that when Lemsip sachets say “hot, but not boiling, water,” it was because it would impair the effectiveness of the active ingredients, and was disappointed when it turned out it’s just so you don’t scald your tongue.

Going in for a middle of the day nap. Will I wake up in 30 minutes refreshed? Will it be next Thursday and I’ve forgotten my name and who my family are? Let’s find out!

Sold Fern Britton a disposable camera. She bought the cheaper no flash version.

20. What is your most mundane celebrity encounter?
I once saw Eve Myles browsing the CD racks in HMV. There is literally no more to that story.

Tell me your most unhinged Doctor Who opinion. I mean, if you’re a fan, they’re likely all unhinged anyway.

Someone was telling me that they were on their way to a pet pharmacy. Pretty disappointed that I couldn’t go with them, since I’m certain that dogs in lab coats filling prescriptions would be adorable.

“Stop saying Hawaii” whenever someone uses any noun repeatedly in a sentence
what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

Carl Benz has an idea
![[Scene is a 19th century drawing room with a sign outside saying TRANSPORT INVENTORS CLUB. Inside, the German Engineer KARL BENZ is addressing a meeting of gentlemen about his new transport idea]
1
KARL BENZ:
OK guys - you’re gonna love this
2
KARL BENZ:
So it’s like, a box made of metal that goes at up to 120 miles an hour, yeah?
[Karl shows them a diagram of a car]
3
KARL BENZ:
And your drive it down one side of the road, and the boxes going the other way go on the opposite side, so we don’t need to build two roads!
4
OTHER GUY:
What’s down the middle?
KARL BENZ:
A white line.
5
OTHER GUY:
So like, a white barrier…
KARL BENZ:
No a white line. Drawn on the floor.
6
OTHER GUY:
And who’s piloting these machines?
KARL BENZ:
I was thinking: random members of the public.
7
[Pause, the other guys all look with concern at Karl]
8
OTHER GUY:
Karl are you OK
KARL BENZ:
No listen it’s fine
9
OTHER GUY:
You know we’re worried about you, don’t you?
KARL BENZ:
No really it’ll work -
10
KARL BENZ:
Once hundreds of millions of people have died and the world’s started ending because of the fumes it’ll all be normal.
11
OTHER GUY:
Is that normal like the ‘commuter travel device’ you brought in last week which was just…
12
OTHER GUY:
…an iron maiden fired from a catapult?
[The other guy displays a diagram of an iron maiden being fired from a catapult]
KARL BENZ:
THAT WOULD’VE WORKED!
