Jimmy's "Hollyoaks" joke at 21:44 always cracks me up

Listening to Stephen Fry's alliteration is like swimming at a sunny Saturday seaside with a silky soft cotton candy cupcake congealing in your countermanded trousers.

@Gazjohnful "Jam" in the US is used for chunky fruit preserves and marmalade. If it's just as sweet but smooth and translucent, it's "jelly". "Jello" is the trademarked name for a brand of instant gelatin, but it's so widely known we often call any gelatin that, just as it's not unusual to call any facial tissue "Kleenix".

Some birds, like the Lyrebird and the mockingbird, have mimicry behavior in the wild. But other birds like the parrot, the mynah and (I happen to know) the crow only mimic when in captivity; they don't mimic in the wild. I'm very curious as to why.

"What's the New London Bridge doing in Arizona?"

@NightBlade081 Sometimes it's also a perfect example of not doing one's research properly, so it's kind of like wikipedia.

I love this show. It is a perfect example of how learning can be fun.
