I think John Sullivan did...? Errr

Correct. Though he did sound like Rodney. :)

I used to think Nicholas Lyndhurst sang the OFAH theme. I also suspected Zach Braff may have sung the Scrubs theme.

Me too with both of them.

Ohh, I didn't know that!

What?! Zach Braff couldn't sing with Jedward never mind a theme song to a show.

When it first started, I had no idea who Zach Braff was.

The funniest non-TV misunderstanding I've ever been guilty of, happened one day, when my mum and my auntie took me and my sister down to the beach, when we were little kids. My sister had just eaten some sandwiches, and, as she didn't like breadcrusts, she'd left them on her lap. Then, suddenly, she jumped up and screamed, because she'd been stung by a wasp, and the breadcrusts fell to the floor. I didn't know what they were, because I was so young, and I started crying, because I thought they'd fallen out of her arse!

I thought Mark Owen was gay until very recently.

I realised that Pearl Jam means "semen" this August.

I've seen him shopping with his wife. Once my daughter instantly took a shine (no pun) to him (obviously being two she didn't know who he was) and he gave her a lovely smile and said hello. So I think he's wonderful now - although I always fancied Jason Orange.

Laid.

Laid.

You didnt get laid by a TV for ages?

Embarrassingly I was in my 30s.

Life on Mars. Saw couple of series 1 on TV and wasn't blown away. But as a moment of madness I watched all of Series 1 on DVD back to back.

I love it now and think it's one of the best British TV shows.

Yay!
Just don't watch the American version.

American version is arse cheese. Raped the whole idea of the show to the point it's only a quivering tail bone.

I got really into season 2 and wasn't even mad when they used the music I'd planned to use to end my series :)

If that were true, what would it do to Aaron's love for the show?

Not much.

When Strictly Come Dancing first started I didn't at first "get" that they had adapted the title from the low-budget Australian comedy movie Strictly Ballroom. Once I eventually realised, imagine my embarrassment! Now all I've got to do is work out why they thought that Strictly Come Dancing was anything other than a pig's ear of a title.

I hope that this is a joke.

The 'F' in The F Word meant food. :$

Well it's both, innit. They're trying to be clever. As ambiguous as Tim Walker's sexuality.

Quote: Tim Walker @ November 16 2009, 1:40 AM GMT

A girl I started medical school with, Vicky, didn't realise that testicles were contained in a single scrotum. She thought they somehow had individual ball-sacs to themselves. (And she was no virgin either...)

Laughing out loud Fabulous.

Two points to Dolly!

(He also did the theme tune for The Green Green Grass. Not sure about his other shows.)
