But only if one of Morecambe and Wise was a smug, self-satisfied wanker.

Ok, but only if a cricket bat can be used.

OK .... more like a cross between Bottom, but with a real cricket bat, and Morecambe and Wise....

I like it.

Yep, and an enraged otter wouldn't go amiss.

I'm a bastard because you live in the wrong place? Seems fair enough.

A bastard for teasing me.... but... in case you didn't guess I was joking. ;)

The internet is not always the best place for semantics and nuance.

I did rather enjoy Brand calling Hitchens "confused" in the subtly insulting way used so well by David St Hubbins or Stephen Fry in the censorship sketch from A Bit of Fry and Laurie.

Hitchens calls Brand aggressive and then continues to get aggressive.

Hitchens brings the word 'reason' into his lopsided argument. Asks why a comedian gets to give his side of the story .... that from a half rate demagogue who writes for the mail......

Brand smiles at Hitchens. Twists Hitchens knicker elastic.

Priceless.

Fair points on Syria, we're all Star Wars fans and tend to assume that rebels are automatically good.

Not so fair points elsewhere. First, Louise Mensch. Yes, lightweight photogenic Brit Sarah Palin blah. But to criticise her for changing parties? What, you mean like Churchill did? Or you did, Peter?

Olympics. Boy. Damns Armando Iannucci with the faintest of praise, plays the old duffer and persecuted minority cards, then goes for the utterly batshit by (I think) claiming that the games are a part of an effort to rewrite history and cast spells changing everyone's memory.

You call it batshit, but in a world in which Cameron is considered a socialist it makes perfect sense.
