Ronnie is victorious, vivacious in victory like a venomous dog. Vile Republicans cease living while the religious retort with rueful rhetoric. These rank thugs resort to violence and swear revenge.

But Ronnie can punch through steel so they lose anyway.

You should get that problem with your very large hand sorted out, Ronnie. It can't be healthy.

Ah but that's the creepy thing.

Is it a very large hand... or a very small tree? You just can't tell, can you

Is there any particular reason why all the pictures on the television are in the wrong ratio?

Oh, that's just how it is. A combination of the widest setting on the Freeview box and 'Super Live' on the TV. Squares look square, circles look circular and people's heads don't look squashed, so I've always just assumed it's normal and must be to do with overscan or something like that.

Four 3ft fibre-optic jobbies I bought for £5 each in Woolworths six years ago went up inside 30 minutes and will come down again in a week after still going strong.

Good-old Woolworths!
