it's in case he gets lost in the department store. "BING BONG: would the owner of a seven year old marked as AJ please come to the customer service desk where he is crying for his mummy"

From the ITT chat thread this response from Monkseal had me in stitches

Someone is well organised for this evening.
I'm buying a bag of Malteasers for next week!

Later we have Maltesers which are good for both eating and throwing at TV. 10 points if you hit Craig right between the eyes. They don't mix well with wine but by then we don't care.”

The reason why there was such a long delay during recording while the producers checked The Rules

The Has Bruno Quit thread delivered a delicious Judges parody by washboard that puts some spurious arguments into perspective

Yah, it was a brave effort. It needed a bit of work on the punctuation - and Len is right, the metaphors and similes didn't quite come off. The smilie was nice - but a bit out of place, yeah? Like Len says, it just wasn't your best effort - but you look gorgeous, and I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Oooooh, my darling!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!! It was like watching the shower scene in Psycho!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!! [thumps desk] No really!! [stands up and gestures] The dagger was out, and the soundtrack was 'eek, eeek, eeek, eeek eeek'!!!!!! [puts on pouty serious face] No blood-letting before the watershed! [wags finger]. But I loved it!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahaha! [leans back, falls off chair] Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

Your agenda was showing, it was all very clunky, very samey - we need to see something different daaahling - and the theme has really been done to the death. The hyperbole needs a lot of work, and polemicism doesn't really fit. A bit of a post disaaaaster, daaaahling. But! I thought your use of smilies was OK, and I could see you trying to work the story.

[Disclaimer - none of the SCD judges were harmed - or spoken to, or took part in - the making of this post]”

In the Movie Week – 5 Thoughts thread, DeltaBlues takes an interesting perspective in reflecting on Len's cream aversion
