Stephen Fry: They are very extraordinary things, woodpecker tongues. It can extend to two-thirds of its body length. It’s covered in sticky saliva, vicious barbs, and has an ear at the end of it with which it can listen to its prey. And if the pecker’s got wood, why go for tongue, you may argue.
Jo Brand: Could we have an offshoot of this programme called “Quite Unnecessary”?I don’t usually reblog these, but this one made me giggle more than usual.

Do not buy this book if you’re expecting to find out anything at all about 1984, as this writer seems to have been living on a different planet. I was trying to do a bit of research into the influence of New Wave on cross-over dance music in the Mid-Eighties, but I found “1984” a complete waste of time… Jackson’s “Thriller”?(the soundtrack of the summer, and the biggest selling album of all-time) - not mentioned; Frankie Goes To Hollywood (their breakthrough year leading to world pop domination) - not a whisper; Style Council? (Not Paul Weller’s finest hour, but still an honest nod to the white soul roots of Mod culture) - you’d have thought they didn’t exist if you read this book. Nik Kershaw? Ray Parker Junior? Sister Sledge? Nope, nope nope. Instead this man seems to have moped around in his room and at work, watching some kind of depressing news channel (was his remote broken? This isn’t explained - but you’d have thought they’d have had MTV on at least one of the channels in his office). Orwell completely fails to capture the uplifting vibe that was the pop explosion of the summer of ‘84… maybe he lived in Norwood. 0 Stars.
Oh, and don’t read “the Road to Wigan Pier” either, as we drove around for ages last August Bank Holiday before asking a traffic warden, who said that the sea was about 30 miles away, by which time it was too late. I don’t think Orwell had actually ever been to Wigan. What does he do - just sit in his room making this stuff up for kicks or something? 0 stars also.—Review of George Orwell’s 1984.

Oh my god, this is actually a freakin’ clever idea.
…asides from the fact that there’s one too many knots.
