So your asteroid is at least twice as far from the Sun as Earth is. (AU = Astronomical Unit, equal to the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.)

This was the piece they performed - suitably Christmassy, plus they gamely swayed and momentarily stood up on the cymbal crashes. (There were people videoing the performance, which I'll share when it's made available online.)

He came out as gay five years ago as well, though like his friend Kenneth Williams he wasn’t content or comfortable with his sexuality (he was in a “lavender marriage” for half of his life).

That is very weird, given it costs less than that (often around £6, usually no more than a tenner) to go one station further to Congleton.

The Shuffle Quiz was a feature on earlier Nanos, though they replaced it with a Maze game for 4th generation ones.

I know Google will suppress its AI summaries and the like if you include "-ai" in the search bar ... perhaps YouTube does the same?

Very much so, and actually quite liberal-minded and compassionate to boot ... he berates a Tory parliamentary candidate over the state of the health service, tells off an entitled prick while working as a chauffeur, liberates a nursing home whose residents are maltreated by staff etc. etc.

Can @suddenlyjoseph.bsky.social do a German accent, though?

You'd need a few fun facts ready, especially since the double-elimination format means you (and your team) would always be on at least two episodes.

Can confirm ... that was the response from a musician friend of mine finding out my spouse (whom he met for the first time) grew up only a couple of miles from where he grew up after detecting their accent.

I mean, I'm channelling Dara at the sight of this.

I have a little Pride Progress flag pin attached to my work lanyard ... nicely subtle but it almost certainly would get your dad to tut. :)

OK, Nintendo need to add The Simpsons: Hit and Run to their GameCube emulator ... even if it means a 45GB update*, it'll be worth it.
(* It won't be more than 1.5GB - as much as a GameCube disc could hold.)

I don’t know either of those games, in spite of being at least a little bit older than both of you … that said, I would recommend playing Overcooked as hospitality training.

I will say that The Wrong Trousers does hint at Bristol a bit … the local newspaper resembles the Bristol Evening Post, plus the zoo where Feathers McGraw is imprisoned looks quite a bit like Bristol Zoo. (They did make it more Prestonified for Vengeance Most Fowl, though.)

Phil sucking the liquid through a “straw” also follows Bernoulli’s principle as he also produced a pressure drop, but this time between the top of the fluid in the cup (not in the siphon) and his mouth.
(I learned all this from the first year of a chemical engineering degree rather than at school!)

Reece and Sanjeev just heightened the liquid in the siphon by adding more, while Ania and Maisie decreased the pressure inside the siphon by sucking underneath the cup … a pressure drop caused the liquid to move up and over (as Bernoulli’s principle predicts).

Sanjeev’s mention of Bernoulli’s principle worked for all of the contestants’ efforts in task 2, even for Phil’s but not in quite the same way. :) The Pythagoras cup hinges on the siphon at the bottom and how far up the liquid is inside it … as soon as it’s at the top, gravity does the rest.

It’s pretty much as though all of the first 20 Bond films happened between Skyfall and Spectre, so Craig Fingersuck suddenly became Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton and Brosnan in succession before resuming as the Same Guy.

If you go from the novels, Casino Royale was set in 1951 and he was born in either 1920 or 1921, so he should be 104 or 105 years old now. If anything, Dick van Dyke is a little bit young to play him!
