Nice to see you're not taking things too seriously, Steve.

And tell me, how long did you agonise over the dried-up sour-faced lesbian bitches from East Dulwich "zinger"? I must say, it was the "lesbian" bit that really rammed it home and had me fanning my armpits - thank goodness that dreadful Perkins woman is a confirmed wearer of sensible shoes or else your line would not have been nearly as vitriolic: "dried up straight women sour-faced bitches from East Dulwich" doesn't have the same ring to it.

Keep 'em coming Steve. Let's hope they invite Sandi Toksvig back for a return gig, I'd love to hear your assessment of her - gay, Danish, short, plain - you'd be spoiled for material Steve, spoiled.
