Anyone caught parking in a Parent & Child bay, who doesn’t have a child with them, to immediately have their car crushed and licence revoked.

Edit: wrong thread.

Edit: Just read the guy has now died, I was under the impression he survived when I posted that video. Sorry about that.

Turning in to a bit of a dud series for me. Dreadful choice of Traitors, from the beginning and through recruitment. A shame as the full cast seem lovely, I’ve even done a 180 on Miranda Hart.

Richard’s blunder has highlighted one of the biggest flaws in the game’s design. If you have a Traitor bang to rights, which all but a couple of dimwits know they have, then it makes little sense to banish them immediately, you gain far more from keeping them around and watching their interactions, seeing how they respond to murders, how they behave at the roundtable and, most importantly, how the rest of the Traitors respond to it.

Years ago, back when young people used Facebook, a girl I went to school with posted one of those really generic images of a quote about her recently departed grandad. Only she didn’t save the image then post it, she posted a screenshot of it but failed to notice that her search of “dead grandad quotes” was still visible at the top. A touching tribute, I was moved to fits of laughter.

I like Amol, I was a big fan of his on the Today programme and think he’s done a solid job in the chair on University Challenge, but he was treading a fine line between confident and self-satisfied last night. Being one of only a few contestants ever to genuinely want to be a a Faithful and then immediately be recruited as a Traitor is so on brand for James Acaster, it’s unreal. I’ll feel robbed if this doesn’t happen. What a clanger from Richard, I still can’t decide if he thought it would be funny and laughed off or if he really did just drop a massive bollock. Absolute premium TV either way. Can’t see either of the original Traitors lasting long tbh, Richard’s gone to bits already and Maya doesn’t seem to have clocked that she could work this to her advantage which doesn’t bode well for her long game strategy. Saying that, Alan Carr and Rachel are the two most recent winners so the Faithful don’t exactly have a great track record of following even the most blatant evidence. Only two episodes a week this time. Cruel BBC, very cruel.

My wife insists on buying chipolatas rather than fat bangers. Grounds for divorce, really.

A rare day to myself with no wife or kids could only be started one way. Homemade fry up and an hour on the sofa watching GBBO to recover.

Finally! And yes, Taribo West made it in there.

God, this is addictive. I’ve hit 439 and 444 twice, but no 442. I’d get on better if I didn’t compulsively include Taribo West every time he appears.
