I was bemused at the tweets. How can people get phrases so wrong?

I was just reminded about another pronunciation I remember being told about by a work colleague years ago.
Not sure if it was something he heard from an advert or tv show but it was about an American couple asking for directions to Loughborough and they pronounced it Luga-Boruga

I enjoyed tonights episode, but I cant help thinking a better title would be "Dave Gorman looks at shit on the Internet"

Just rename the show "Reading shit off the internet", ie Material other people have written, and have done with it Dave (both of you!)

Depends on the episode. Ovbiously the web is a great source of info and is easier to show than local papers or other things.
I've been sticking up for the series so far but I did think that was quite a poor episode. Strangley enough it must be one of the only times that he didn't corpse during the poem. |

It was better than last week. I was bellylaughing at the Christine Hamilton bees story.

I own that exact model of printer featured on this week's show and he's right that the ink cartridges are ridiculously expensive, although it's not really for everyday printing, it's more for printing high quality photos, which it does brilliantly. I won't be taking a sledgehammer to mine any time soon.

I didn't really get into this week's episode. It seemed to be a bit all over the place and I found none of it particularly funny.
And the gunge Tweeting man bit just seemed random. |

Surely the most recent episode must have been filmed before 'pig gate' yet he joked about David Cameron drinking the premium gloss stuff intended for his printer, then later said maybe David Cameron also drinks horse semen (as that's more costly.)

A big improvement this week I thought.
Can't believe the audience believed him aboout the green screen. Also not sure if even he would sit in a car for 8 hours browsing Tinder waiting to catch his imposter. He goes out of the way a lot to make these shows but that is streching it a bit. |

I assumed it was like a sort of Glasgow/Basildon - Glas/Bas Vegas or Basingstoke - Amazingstoke type nickname? |

I was there and I did for the 2-3 minutes it was done. I mean you don't have time to really think about it, you can't chat with person next to you so you just think "fine, but strange but maybe that's how it works now". And then everyone sort of laughed at the joke we could not see so you assume others picked something else up so got the joke more than you.
Not seen last nights ep on screen yet but it was enjoyable to watch being filmed. which you'll see when you watch it.Overall it was a cracking episode, probably the best of the current series as it seemed a bit more fast-paced and he doesn't linger on one subject for too long. I like it when he's jumping from topic to topic quickly. It's still the funniest thing on the telly. |

I don't come from Loughborough, nor have I ever been there, nor do I even know where it is. However, I thought that the pronunciation in your supposed tale was such a well known mispronunciation that this was now a sort of ironic nickname that everyone calls the place?

I vaguely remember reading his blog post on that Tinder picture a while back. That was a really funny story.
![]() It was a much better episode this week. |

There was also a clue to it being a joke, you saw the slides advancing from one plain green slide to the next, which wouldn't happen if it was green screen. Although I do have basic knowledge of video editing which not everyone will have. |

My recording missed the first few seconds where the green screen gag was set up so I did spend a couple of minutes wondering if there had been a cock up of some kind which had amazingly gone unnoticed during the edit.
