Mark Kermode reduces me to aching hysterics

I really must learn to prepare myself more when I listen to Mark Kermode's film reviews (I've now subscribed to it as a podcast which seems a lot easier than remembering to go to FiveLive and less trouble to download (is this a subtle ploy to up their podcast rating?)

    Nothing to do with Mark KErmode, but I just wanted to comment on how very contagious that song by thigummywotsit is.

And the chorus is bouncing contagiously about my head.

    The whole compilation CD is pretty damn good. Thankyou for making it for me.

  4. Jane: I seem to recall mark Kermode describing something as "intergalactic toilet" which just creased me for weeks.

    I don't always agree with him but he can be SOOO entertaining to listen to.

    I finally got around to listening to this today at work.

    Not a good idea - trying to suppress laughter in an open plan office can get painful after a while.
