Vladimir PUTIN Do you want to save the EU or should I?
Barack OBAMA Go ahead, I can\'t afford it
Lily Allen is back! She was on Jonathan Ross last night and here’s the vid for her new single, ‘The Fear’, which’ll probably be number one tomorrow. Wooooohooo! Control yourself now people, I don’t want any unsightly scenes as you all rush for the nearest pin cushion to do a Hellraiser on your corneas and eardrums, this is not the [...]
Hear that? That’s the sound of Patrick McGoohan thrashing in his coffin as ITV plough on with their ‘re-imagining’ of The Prisoner. Based on their previous form in the genre (hello ‘Primeval’) this may be not so much a remake as a desecration, but I suppose it’s no worse than Five regenerating Minder with Shane Ritchie as [...]
Yes! It is! Wedgwood and Royal Doulton – the once proud pottery flagships of my glorious hometown - may be slipping beneath shit creek as Yankees by the coachload decide not to fly 2,000 miles to buy overpriced plates and archaic figurines; The City’s town centres – once thriving hives of humanity – may well be boarded-up barren shells, tumbleweed cascading through thoroughfairs once [...]
If you like our podcasts in any way you may also be interested in this two hour pilot from an ex-flatmate of a friend of mine. It contains a great deal of music – jingly jangly, beaty weaty, drum and basey arsefeta – that I frankly can’t abide, but in-between are spoof sketches - Shaun Ryder on Dragon’s Den with his Meat Sunlounger, a kids gameshow forcing five [...]

I don’t care what Annie Lennox thinks, and she doesn’t care that I don’t care what she thinks, and the less I care about what she thinks, the more she seems to think that what she thinks is vitally important to the human race. Our opposing wills are like two thoroughbred stallions harnassed to the very edges of reality [...]
Who he?? Well, he only made his TV debut in 2006, starring opposite Billie Piper in ‘The Ruby in the Smoke’, and he’s the youngest doctor ever at 26. Beyond that I know nothing of him whatsoever, except that his face appears to be obscenely boney - almost to the point of elephantitis – and there’s nothing even remotely [...]
Everyone here at roomyverse hq would like to wish every one of you, our lovely readers, listeners and viewers, a very superb 2009. After much deliberating over obscure server stats, I have vaguely deduced that there are about fifty or sixty of you - a small family, perhaps, but one which we treasure and will endeavour to amuse further in the [...]
