Phill Your Boots

As evidenced by his recent twitterings, self confessed 'TV desk show whore' Phill Jupitus has seen the Rehearsals and the Laughter Sketch.


He had this to say of them:

"Both sterling but I loved the 'actors one' To be frank the laughter sketch would be just as funny half as long."

Thanks Phill.

Ock Toe Brr the Second

It's October. It's a Friday. It's not 1814.

In 1814, a British smartarse named Captain Philip Pipon informed Thursday October Christian that the mutineers of the Bounty had crossed the international date line heading due east and had neglected to amend their calendar meaning the day of Thursday's birth was actually a Friday. Apparently Pipon refused to refer to Thursday as anything other than Friday.

Makes you wonder if his father hadn't been right all along.


Spare a thought for Thursday October Christian and his incorrectly-calculated name on Fridays in October. This year that's five more thoughts. You've still got time.

It's October. It's a Thursday. It's not 1790.

On a Thursday in October in 1790, a son was born to Fletcher Christian, the leader of the mutiny on the Bounty, by then settled on the Pitcairn Islands.

Looking around for a name on a Thursday in October, he decided to name his firstborn Thursday October Christian because he wanted his son to have "no name that will remind me of England".

Spare a thought for Thursday October Christian and his foreign sounding name on Thursdays in October. This year that's five thoughts. You've got time.

P.S. It's Mr Carruthers' birthday. Possibly.
