h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Am I the only person who looks forward to Francis Wheen being on The News Quiz, as it gives Sandi Toksvig a chance to say in that amazing way she has -

"Before we read out the final scores let's hear some cuttings the teams have brought along, Mistawheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnn."

Every time I hear the name of Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is reminded of the Now Show sketch, where he was nicknamed Ahmadinnerjacket. Makes it really easy to remember.

Am I the only one who, on hearing the name of former Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on the radio, immediately shouts "YAHOO!" in the style of Luke Skywalker blowing up the Death Star?

Ed Balls

No, I do that too.

Am I the only person who... when alone in the car around 5pm, 5.30pm or 6pm, on hearing the name Eddie Mair, is compelled to shout "EDDIE MAIR! You're not Eddie Mair. Well I'm not Demi Moore!"

Answer: almost certainly.

I think most people do that, don't they?

The Uighurs have been rioting.

Surely I can't be the only person who, whenever he's heard the news, has made a face like a weasel, formed his hands into little claws and raised them in front of his face and squeaked:

'UighurUighurUighur'

Am I the only person who, on hearing the Apache Indian track "Boom Shak A Lak" sings the lyrics as "Wind ya badeeee, wiggle ya belleeee, zip bun wacket inna noo styleeee"?

Isn't that what he actually sings?

Am I the only person who hums Yakety Sax ("the Benny Hill music") during the ever increasing pauses after a presenter says "and the winner/loser is..."?

Am I the only person who, as a direct result of listening to the Bugle podcast, now HAS to follow any well constructed pun or piece of satirical commentary (delivered either by me or by someone else) with the single word "BOOM!", follow any particularly tortuous or otherwise groan-inducing gag with the words "Are you proud of yourself?", and when wetting myself laughing at something particularly puerile am prone to gasp "I'm a forty-one year old man." between the tears?

Unfortunately not...

Am I the only person who uses his work ID as a conveinent place to keep PostIt notes he may need to refer to whilst running around the office doing stuff?
