On a related point to this thread, the lack of women in comedy has been discussed before; but are a disproportionate number of them lesbians? I wondered this whilst listening to The News Quiz last night, where two of the three women were lesbian, compared to a national average of 1 in 16.
Haha!
Well I must say I hadn't noticed a high number of lesbonics.

Sue Perkins sometimes turns up on The News Quiz, too. Maybe they're attracted to the BBC?
Aren't we all!

I've never understood that, why would you want to go out with, or be friends with, someone who wasn't funny??

Yeah...I'm not even sure why people who aren't funny are allowed to live.

If you really want to know, I'll ask the people who want to go out with me.

What's Mel Giedroyc's favourite brand of cigarettes?
Sue Perkins.
I don't get it.
Oh, now I do!
Ahem...

Did Ann Beatts go to school in The Beano?
Tusc, you mean did she go to Bash Street comprehensive! Really, and a man of your erudition.

I guess you have to be in with tobacco culture.

I didn't want to be that specific.
Does it mean then that she likes to 'bum' Sue Perkins? I didn't think MG was of her erstwhile partner's persuasion.
Apparently there's a brand of cigarette called 'Super Kings'.
Oh yes of course there is, I occasionally step on the empty packets that the chavs from the lower floors have dropped. It does rather ruin the image I had conjured tho, so I'll stick with that if you don't mind.
