- I was laid off by Twitter this week. I was behind such characters as "Russ In Cheshire", "Jim Felton", and that barrister who mercilessly clubbed a fox to death on Boxing Day whilst wearing only a kimono.
- Alex Turner looking like a character from Toast these days. Can imagine Matt Berry seeing him, narrowing his eyes and saying "Ken Topsoil".
