The Pop-star Biscuit Game
A somewhat misreported (to make me look even more awesome) conversation with Jen in the car this morning:
R: I’ve just thought of a new game. It’s called the Pop-star Biscuit Game. We take it in turns to name pop-stars who sound like biscuits. For example, Lionel Rich Tea. Your turn…
J: …Limp Bizkit.
R: No, that’s cheating. You can’t have ‘biscuit’ as part of the name. My turn… Jammy Dodger Miller.
J: …
R: Godley and Custard Cream.
J: …
R: Chocolate Bourbono.
J: …
R: Oreo Speedwagon.
J: …
R: I was Googling brands of biscuits before we came out. Can you tell?
J: KitKat Stevens.
R: KitKats are wafers, not biscuits.
J: …
R: Run Garibaldi MC.
J: …
R: I win!
The secret to winning the Pop-star Biscuit Game is planning. Planning and misreporting.

Theron lies the difference
BBC: Celebrity names you’re probably saying wrong
As Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot can do anything - apart from getting people to pronounce her name correctly.
Turns out I’ve been mispronouncing Charlize Theron’s name for years.
I wondered why she never returned my calls.
Surely this has got to be illegal…
