baby savages dear
A bambiraptor is a savage baby dear.
light two principles
The principle that light can be in two places at the same time is absolutely extraordinary.
book years four
I'm not a great shopper but I do buy a lot of books. I'm the publishers' friend - I buy a hundred books a year and read four.
girl kids eye
There's a lot to do when you're a kid - spiders to catch, girls to poke in the eye - stuff to be getting on with.
acting gigs tickets
I see myself as a comic but the acting helps sell tickets for gigs.
grief want way
I like pubs too, but it's hard for me to go and get proper bladdered in the way I used to. I don't want to moan about being recognised but I do get a bit of grief sometimes.
ideas space humanity
I liked the idea of all of humanity fitting inside a sugar cube because more than 99.9% of matter is space.
journey car tears
I dont drive around London much. Any journey around Islington involves hundreds of speed bumps that seem to tear the bottom of your car off.
play mind roles
I'm quite a curious person. I don't mind being the one who doesn't know things, a role I often play in QI.
jobs funny-work interviews
A foolproof plan for not getting a job - show up for your interview wearing flip flops.
beneficial club environment visitors
A smoke-free environment will be beneficial for club members, visitors and staff.
football magazines pages
I'm more inclined to linger in the science pages of 'The Week' magazine. But my principle obsessions are still watching sitcoms and football.
fall bridges old-buildings
The thing I'd really like to see is the old London Bridge, with all the old buildings around it like Shakespeare's Globe. I'd like to walk along that. Don't worry, I won't get drunk and fall in.
