Talking of pancakes, what's the butter stuff you guys put on them? Whipped, is it? That's great. We don't have that. We do have the Cumby, but not the whipped butter.
I just snorted with laughter so badly that my laptop screen is now covered in spittle. THANKS VIDEOGUM. At least I will have a clean screen next week.
Oh jesus next week. Let's not think about next week.
Not for the first time, the time difference ruined my chance of having a comment that anyone will actually read. The traumas of being a UK monster.
I'm genuinely saddened to read this news, and I'm in agreement with all of your posts above mine. There are few places online where it feels like your view is valid and respected, even if it's not agreed with - but Videogum is one of them.
I came over originally as a refugee from Gawker probably three, four years ago. Their site had changed beyond all recognition and I wanted somewhere that bright, witty people could hang out, and by goodness I found it. I've also laughed very, very hard, and I think I quite possibly speak differently now, because in my head I think I sound as funny as Gabe and Kelly. (In reality I probably sound British)
I've made proper friends through this site. If we can keep going in anyway at all, hopefully not reddit because it confuses me but I'll learn if I have to, then we absolutely must. I'll speak to the Queen about it if that's what it takes.
I only made it to 18 seconds before having to go and leave my recycling box by the kerb for pick-up tomorrow. So that's a taster of how fun it really is.
Yeah, you'd like to think - but now it turns out we're giving you this little gem: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/raunchy-reality-show-sex-box-3035265
DON'T THANK ME
I *am* British, and I intend to ask my colleagues where their flaky puddings are tomorrow. I will let you know how I get on / how long before I am fired.
"then the teleprompter got lost. Then the prompter went up and down".
I have worked in live TV for nearly eight years, and in that time, the teleprompter has got lost the sum total of three times. A good operator will follow what you're saying. If you skip stuff, OF COURSE it will "go up and down", because they're making sure they're at where you're at. And a tech conference, with the world's best best best technology, will have a good operator... right?
That said, there is an art to reading from autocue. Could it be that this man just refused to rehearse?
Ugh, no jokes. Sorry.
When Ranulph Fiennes's fingers fell off, you could understand that it was probably in the pursuit of human betterment (if that's even a word) This girl. Oh goodness.
Double trouble, those two.
(Even if the things the person is saying make total sense, doesn't mean they don't hurt like hell. Mine just disappeared, note under the door, so in a way...)
OK this is timely because I just got sent this email from a charity saying they want "us girls" to sign up for a "stitch and bitch". Ie. you knit and you gossip and you raise money. Am I being hyper-sensitive (clue: yes I am) to find the title of the event a bit... um... irritating?!!
