What's With All The Hand-Waving?

I get really annoyed with TV presenters who wave their hands about when they do a piece to camera. I'd like to know is it their natural way of talking or does some crazy director tell them to move...

At the start of each Gogglebox of the last series they show a load of short clips, probably from the first episode of the series or from an earlier series. I'm curious about the bit with the Malones....

What's The Word For It?

When you say "bar steward" instead of b*stard, or "sugar" instead of ***. It's not a euphemism. The word 'mincing' keeps coming into my head, but that's not it. I'm sure there is a word for it, but I...

Nutella Bar Advert

Who is the actor between two boys on a train advertising the Nutella bar? He looks like Stephen Hancock (Ernie Bishop -- Coronation Street), but he died in 2015, so it can't be him.

A Program That Joins Two Images Without Merging

I used to have a program that joined two photos together -- not a panorama maker, although that was what it was called. The program began with a Z, but that's all I can remember. The PC it was on died...

Blue Meat?

On the most recent series of "I'm a Celebrity -- Get Me Out of Here!", towards the end, when (I think) there were only three slebs left, they won a nice meal, some sort of poultry. But the meat was...

Mains-Powered Digital Clocks

I have four mains-powered digital clocks. There are two in the kitchen: a microwave oven and a 'normal' oven. There are two upstairs: an alarm/clock radio/CD player and the timer for the central...

Who Was The Woman With The Cornetto In The Famous Tv Advert?

I'm sure I've seen her on TV in other roles. Now it's bugging me.

Rift In The Loot

In a recent (!) episode of Dad's Army, "Getting the Bird", Frazer said there was a "rift in the loot" in Mrs Pike's household. I get what it means from the context, but I have been unable to find any...

Have You Seen My Scooter?

When I was a child, about 1956-58 I had a toy scooter. The scooter was unusual in being propelled by a pedal at the front (not the Triang one). The pedal was like the handle on some garden spades and...

What Is The Most Appropriate Topic Section For A Question About A Toy Scooter I Had As A Child?

Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries

Before NiMH batteries we had NiCd batteries. So I know there was nickel and cadmium involved. Why are 'they' so coy about NiMH batteries? What does the M stand for? Obviously, I know it stands for...
