I'm sorry, but last night I came to the conclusion that all those jokes they make on The Now Show about Radio 4 audiences being completely out of touch with everyday life are true. I had no idea who Rylan Clark is/was and hearing his voice and the cheery, matey way he talked to everybody did nothing to enlighten me. I don't think (TICBW) they even dropped any hints about what Rylan Clark is famous for. Either they were scraping the bottom of the barrel to get him to come along or they are forgetting that at least some of the audience - including me - might have a clue when they wheel on Princess Margaret or Camilla Parker-Bowles but if it's someone who is merely famous for being famous then I'm sorry but I haven't a clue.

(Creepy last few seconds, though. Eh?)

Nylon Rylan is famous for singing on some talent show (apparently) and
then moved on to radio shows and hosting and commentary e.g. Strictly It
Takes 2 on weekdays. Also for advertising Cinch.

He has implausibly perfect white teeth, implausibly perfect dark hair
and implausibly smooth fake tanned skin. Did I mention he is gay ? NTTAWWT.

Hope you are feeling better.

I, for one, am better informed.
I was aware of this plastic person because I have seen him on TV, probably
in panel games like 'Would I lie to you?'. I am rarely aware of the
non-comic people on there*, or on 'celebrity' versions of quiz shows etc.

*Tomasz Schafernaker being, as it turned out, a priceless exception.
Weather man and artist, I knew - prat who thought sheep and lambs were
different species - absolutely hilarious!

Heard a lady on Farming Today once, she said that when giving a speech to
farmers, she was tongue-tied and couldn’t think of the word ‘lamb’ so
referred to them as ‘baby sheep’.

It's only a matter of time before AI 'Celebrities', all with perfect

I thought (and I suspect the people behind him may have, too, since when
he was made it must have involved rather more effort than it would now)
he was wasted: going to the trouble of making/creating such a character,
then just using him to (IIRR) present some sort of pop music show.

Jpeg’s payoff line was: ‘Can you open your mind without it falling out? ‘

Ta, Britters (and Sam, and John) I am improving. I'm not sure what's normal these days in the NHS - and God knows I don't want to pile any more pressure on these people who have my complete sympathy over their working condidtions - but after a 9 day wait to see a doctor for the first time, more time has passed and I'm still waiting for test results and appointments for x-rays and other stuff.

The first time I saw that man was inan advertisment on IYV for, I
believe, Cinch and I thought to myselk that no-ne with any sense would
dream of buying a car from him.

Incidentally, at the risk of rupturing the frail veil which hangs
between Ambridge and reality, how come that man was in Ambridge at the
same time as being in Liverpool?

Par for the course post covid. A friend of mine was at his GP a day or two
ago for something, probably because he is falling over without warning and
needs patching up or getting test results. He walked out and went bang
down with no warning. GP promptly called his wife to drive him to nearest
hospital, some miles away in a bigger town. After five hours having been
triaged, they were told, it’d be 8 - 10 hrs wait. He’s got no patience
whatsoever, and asked to see a nurse. He told her he wasn’t sitting about
for anyone as he felt alright. No, nursie wasn’t pleased but he seems to
think he’s indestructible. Last year he failed to make our reunion as he
had fallen several times and was grounded. At this rate, he might not make
it this time - if the rails allow us at all.

You could be grounded for some time Nick!

This was written into the script, he was driving up a day before the finals
so could stay overnight.

Speaking of Eurovision, I am amused that neither the
commentators, nor those in the hall, give any sign that when they
are waiting for the last public vote, to see how many points the
jury winner has been allocated, it can readily be calculated.

Total votes to be allocated:
(37 countries + Rest of the World) x 58 = 2204.

Sweden had 340 points from the juries, a total of 1961 had been
announced from the public, leaving 2204-1961 = 243 for them,
giving 583 in all.

Simples!

It may not come as a surprise that I have a little spreadsheet to
do the addition for me. ;-)
