Berlusconi is the goose that lays the golden eggs, except that in this version of the story the eggs contain 17 year old Italian prostitutes who he then attempts to gently caress.

I don't think Andy would enjoy the pun runs half so much if it weren't for how much John and Chris clearly hate them. For their part, John and Chris amplify this hatred to give Andy the reaction he's going for. It's actually quite a nice moment between friends.

Half the fun of puns is hating them.

Andy Zaltzman is a living embodiment of the idea that a successful joke can divide a crowd but a genuinely bad pun will unite them like nothing else.

You see what you did, Chris? You ruined the best swearword in the English language. You prick.

the phrase isn't "gently caress you chris". It's "f[BEEP] you chris"

This weeks Bugle was produced by Ben Walker (gently caress you Ben) who produces the excellent podcasts Do the Right Thing and Pappy's Flatshare Slamdown

Feel free to tell him to go gently caress himself on twitter http://twitter.com/!/@_Ben_Walker

He also produced As It Occurs To Me, possibly the most scatological stand up/sketch show ever.

I cannot bring myself to eat peas anymore thanks to AIOTM (aiotm)

And now you've reminded me of it, I regret the peas I ate in my carbonara earlier today.

Good old Emma Kennedy and her poo anecdotes.

I tried Peacock and Gamble a few years ago, and it mainly seemed to be two men bullying a third man for having "ruined Eastenders" and calling him a paedophile. Has it got better?

Andy's stream of nonsense french as a definition for "Champagne socialists" was gorgeous.

I've been campaigning for a while for Hotties From History to come back, with Margaret Battye as the first feature:

Andy also reused some stuff for 7 Day Sunday. I can't fault either of them for reusing stuff: when your schtick is topical comedy and you're on multiple deadlines, I can't expect you to find a separate punchline about the jubilee for each of your gigs.

Andy is on the latest episode of shouty comedy panel show podcast Do The Right Thing. He's quite good at delivering puns on the fly too.

He works in a Sexy Zombie Florence Nightingale reference. Would listen again.

Speaking of John and Andy on radio 4, if you can ever find a legit way of listening to The Department, it's basically loving brilliant. John, Andy, Chris Addison (from The Thick Of It) and Matt Holness (from Garth Marengi's Darkplace) as employees of a vast and confusing government department that secretly runs everything. Brilliant, and very bugle-esque albeit scripted.

The only possible explanation I have for this is that Putin or someone on Putin's staff is a huge fan of the Bugle and is trying to give them dynamite material.
