Bring back the Great Egg Race and use the eggs for a bake off at the end of the show.

gently caress it, get that creepy doctor guy with the hat to host a show where you build a living human out of dead body parts.

Betcha that next week on the Bake-Off someone makes a Victoria Sponge cake that -when cut open- reveals a perfectly scaled down replica of the human digestive system, with a little pancreas made from coffe cream, a raspberry syllabub stomach, and meringue lungs. And when you cut a slice it poos chocolate. Perfect combination of and  , would keep everyobody happy, apart from Kin. He could have a cake made to look like Meccano. Or Meccano made to look like cake...

I didn't know that the Great British Bake Off was starting again today, so it was a nice surprise when I spotted it in the guide. I felt a bit bad for the woman who went out (Natasha, just found the profiles), I thought the bloke (Stuart?) who did the tomato upside-down cake and a horrible looking unionjack should have gone. Not knowing how to cook a yeast cake Rum Baba seemed like the lesser of two evils, but then she did also gently caress up her sponge by squashing it into uncooked denseness. Early Predictions: (Contestants profiles here http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b013pqnm/profiles/bakers - so I don't have to try and convey who I mean with weird descriptions) Sarah-Jane will be the one who starts well but limps out earlier than people thought. Cathryn will be a bit shaky on nerves but be pretty meticulous on technique, possible last 3? I think Brendan is a possible winner although I don't know why. Manisha will probably improve as the contest goes on, and Victoria will be the "consistently good but doesn't up her game" contestant. Peter (the one with the good Union Jack) could be a dark horse too. The 'experimental' lad with the parsnip cake (I think it's James) will be entertaining even it's only for a few disasters, but I hope he has a few spectacularly interesting and good rounds to go with it But who knows. It really is a bit early to tell, and they all seem a like a nice enough bunch, even if I did keep getting them a bit mixed up. It's a bit annoying that after the excitement of the Rum Babas and the design cakes, I can't remember much about the different Upsidedown cakes. I guess they were the best indicator of early baking talent, but they rushed through them a bit quickly.

Edinburgh is posh apparently. Do you think that if Kin ever visited, say, Kensington he'd just detonate on impact with a peacock?

A few friends of mine in their early 20s seem to love this freaking show. A group of them went to see it on tour. They're pretty intelligent in general, I don't get it! It always reminds me of one of my favourite King of the Hill moments. Peggy is explaining that British comedy is so sophisticated and difficult to understand, and Bobby replies with a deadpan: "That man is wearing a dress."

It looks like Celebrity Big Brother is being launched tonight, I've missed the start, but so far I recognise Julian Clary and someone from Coronation Street.

Is anyone here a Linux user, and can you still play 4oD stuff? I've noticed an increasing amount of stuff just gives me a black-screen after the adverts have successfully played. At first it was just certain US programmes that failed, but now it's everything. Google suggests it's do with a switch to some new file format (f4f) but there's surprisingly little chat about it.

I doubt he will last the week, given his propensity for anxiety attacks. I knew Julie Goodyear, him, Wassisname from Spandau Ballet, and the fat lass off Eastenders. I'm so behind the culture curve. Oh, and that gobshite Nolan.

I can imagine Situation wondering why he's the only celebrity in there. Hope Martin Kemp wins; at least he doesn't have his son to gently caress it up for him like on the Million Pound Drop.

Works fine for me, I think it's Ubuntu we've got and firefox browser. I've not been able to watch the last episode of Ricky Gervais on it, but then I tried on the windows laptop and it didn't work there either so guessing it's just broken. But everything else we've wanted to watch has worked fine. I did notice that the compulsory adverts stopped after a month or so, like adblock had started blocking them again. Edit: Don't know if this makes a difference but the laptop hasn't been updated for like a year or something (it's only used for half an hour a night to watch something before we go to sleep) and there's pages of updates that we should probably go through at one point - maybe one of those would have screwed it up? hookerbot 5000 fucked around with this message at 08:56 on Aug 16, 2012 |

Why is Ian Beale on Eastenders still wearing that hat? I know it's to keep the poo poo wig on and to sensitively remind the audience that he is still suffering from mental hoboism, but do any of the other characters ever tell him he's indoors now so he can take it off?

Yeah, but if he didn't wear the hat how would he portray his inner turmoil? He'd have to use acting or something. Will Ben Mitchell go to jail? Will this storyline ever bloody end?

I can't believe the BBC just tried to promote a show by saying "Will Mellor's back." I really didn't know anyone gave a care about that wool.

Come on BBC, just go loving nuts with EastEnders. It is the only way now. Turning the thing into a farce would actually make it more cheerful at this point. Have time machine Nazis invade and a crossover with Doctor Who and turn Phil into a jolly drug addicted Scarfare and you'll get those precious ratings.
