Not sure if this link works. In lieu of the official video here is my gig on a relatives phone https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17YZ8qcbgK/ I think it's friends only.

Apparently there's going to be a pay-per-mile tax on electric vehicles from 2028. But this is some self-declared thing where you just check your own mileage.

I quite often mix that tune up with La cucuracha also a car horn

That new Alan Partridge thing about mental health. It was quite funny and a decent watch but I can't help thinking that it didn't really add anything to the world. It's just more Partridge. Nothing new or special. Just more of it. It's like chewing gum at this point. Have you listened to his podcas...

Both bonnet and douche are used in English. I'd have thought this was one of the easier phrases to work out. Douche is just an insult. No-one uses it to mean shower! Also there's no way of knowing that it was "bonnet" and therefore linked to the English "bonnet" as opposed to so...

Well done , a fine first 3 rounds all contributed well though the music question made me laugh and I got the Gary question on clue 2

Marc Meakin

Slightly better, but that head-to-head round on the Yorkshire board was rubbish. I thought that round was a good addition, and fits in well with the rest of the show. For anyone who didn't see it, each team in turn is asked a question to which the answer is a number 1-20. The dart player and non-da...

One of those ones that feels oddly surprising. Not unless he WASNT a heavy smoker That's like a triple negative or something. Can't you put that in a way that isn't easier to not understand? Ok sorry in my mind I was trying to illustrate that a heavy smoker is much more likely to die of lung cancer

Heathers. I've seen probably most of it before but I don't think I've actually ever sat down and watched it all. I think it's quite good and has some good humour.

I agree it's wrong to ban Russian athletes from individual sports, but a stronger case can be made to ban Russian national teams, as well as Israeli ones. Eurovision is more about the country than the act. The Dutch has also threatened to pull out. Maybe let Palestine enter and Israel will pull out

Bye bye Ireland.
If you want to eliminate countries then use the " not in Europe" as a reason not the country.
