AYBSNot really, but the quiz will feel a bit different this week. On the show, we revisit some themes from last week: the Kinder egg thing rears its head again, and also the phrase “blue hairs.” Then, we get some closure on the Clue/Cluedo discussion, and wonder about nearsighted/farsighted vs. shortsighted/longsighted. Then, I torture Johnson with the word “tarpaulin,” and we hear a use for draught excluders we hadn’t thought of. Then: Sam hosts the quiz, while Johnson and I guess the meanings of newer British slang words. He gets a “boyf,” while I get “Winona.” Lucky me!

RedCardThat’s right: armless soccer players. We also chat about the Open University, MLK Day, the Great Train Robbery, the police using guns vs truncheons, and the Harlem Globetrotters. We also get closure on Kinder Eggs, and something called draught excluders. Later, Martin returns to the quiz, trying to guess what “tee-ball” is, while Johnson has a go at a “strimmer.”

vintage_potpourri_pomanderAnother crazy meandering show: we talk about Hawaii, everything from roosters to centipedes; then how my supposedly spayed golden retriever went into heat, which leads to a discussion on our porn names; we briefly discuss the twitter hashtag #americansvsbritish, then we catch up on listener mail: Helen writes about christmas crackers, which somehow gets us into Roger Moore attacking a snake with hairspray. Latoya also writes about christmas crackers, which somehow gets us into Kinder eggs and Michael Caine’s eyelashes. Then Jochen gets in touch to ask us to decode a song lyric, and to have a little dig about the USA vs Germany football match. Happy New Year, everyone!
