Before Carr, I got called Chandler for years, a la 'Friends'. Even more annoying ...

They must really hate you.

I always said my mum wasn't very maternal.

Could that BE any more annoying?

Yeah, it could. They could've called me Janice.

Same here, he is my comedy hero so I guess my delivery can be a bit like him, can be annoying though.

I met him briefly a few months ago - well, I set met I passed him at a venue and said 'Hi, you alright?' and he went 'Yeeeeeeeasssss' in a slightly funny voice.

He looks very different in real life. Very thin, very pale and his head is even bigger than you'd think.

Sadly I based almost my entire persona as a 15 year old on Chandler. I still am like that, occasionally.

David, I didn't get it. :D

How about phrasing it like this:

They say you won't find an answer at the bottom of a bottle. But what if the question is, 'Whatever happened to Robinson Crusoe?'

Well, that's basically the same joke, but you're right - the phrasing is more handsome.

I nearly wrote that.....

Great minds...

Where?!

Ho ho.

My best one liner is probably:

As a kid I hated my privileged middle class upbringing so much that I started to self harm. Sometimes I’d go a whole week without moisturising.
