Just saw a bit of Stephen Nolan having a go at a Trump supporter over a video link. Nolan should get a shot at the big time. You know, he should have a shot at Newsnight or something. Like all Northern Irish people, he has a naturally threatening accent, so I think he'd be good at it even if he did nothing but talk complete nonsense.

Also he has a high voice and an eating problem.  That's him trying to look tough. And Julian Simmons is a creepy bastard and I'm glad he won't be on my television set anymore.

I met Su Pollard in the local. I asked if I could put a small donkey on her head for a photo. She said yes, so I went home to get the donkey. Bogmonster posted:That was a mirror, Dara.

My favourite is when they get newsreaders to do awkward song and dance routines. About a decade ago the newsreaders did a leatherclad version of Wild Boys. I fell asleep that night and acted it out in my dream. I was punching the air, and punched shelves (which I now know should not have been there, but we lived in 1 room in a shared house) above the bed, breaking them and sending picture frames, photo albums and coins all over me and my sleeping girlfriend. She was not impressed, although was later amused (once the swelling had gone down)

I also saw him about a month after his scandal on Queen square with a bleeding lip. I like to think someone recognised him

Black Mirror ep 2, real good. Big Shadow of the Minotaur vibe but for adults. Not sure about the ending but drat the episode itself was intense.

Finished this week's QI: The only big acknowledgement of the change was just before General Ignorance where Alan baited Sandi into doing the 'explain a pedantic piece of minutiae like a slightly impatient nursery teacher' thing Stephen used to do and then pointed out that she's the perfect replacement because of how easily she slipped into it.

Brooker as critic will always be secondary to Brooker writing Nathan Barley/Brass Eye/Black Mirror (which is also sdtill him as critic, but whatever)

I just read a listicle about Brooker and one of the entries is about his choice to leave his critic days behind him-quote:Brooker ditched his Screen Burn column in 2010 after several changes in his life meant that he was no longer happy being the public face of scorn. Opining that he wasn’t a “proper critic” he explained the ways in which his schtick was wearing him down. http://mentalfloss.com/uk/people/47431/8-unconventional-things-about-charlie-brooker
