Who's Allam?

Well, according to http://googlism.com :
"allam is considered the second largest contracting company in egypt after the arab contractors"

"allam is frequently wheeled out to tell the nation that the muslim brotherhood is the source of all evil"

Closer to home: "allam is a solicitor who practised as chief executive and clerk to the justices for east sussex"

And, intriguingly, "allam is not morganti", which just leads our search ever onwards...



As for the special effects thing - I thought of him just being there and then leaving, but in that case why bother? Surely the whole point was that he couldn't be there to film it, but he's too much part of the format to simply leave his apologies.

I know it takes more than half an hour to film a half-hour program, but it still seems unlikely you'd be available to film for 5 minutes but not an hour or whatever...

I don't care.

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!

GDASAAAAAAAGH!

*Goes mad*

No soul.

Actually I think there was a clue right at the end that he'd gone to watch the football.

I like Stephen's outfit.Very fetching!

Indeed.

I have now been converted to the magical future telling powers of cheese.

Once upon a time...

QI addicts?

*blinks* Where...

Hello.

Hi all. I am back.

hi

Hi.

Hi mel, hope you're ok.

Yeah fine thanks. Just trying to get on with things. well we are all sitting in my office with our feet up on the tables as i seen a rat in the building so now people are trying to get it out the building.

Sounds like a productive time over there then.
Hope you're ok otherwise. Being back at work's probably a good move to help get your mind off things. And a rogue rat's a perfect distraction.

Its a big fat ugly rat. we all think its come from the mc d's across the road. but its running all around the building and people are still trying to get it. some people have named it robbie the rat. its been on the rum noe for 3 hours, very funny and also rather scary for some people who dont like rats. i dont mind what they do with robbie just as long as they dont kill it.

Yay for Robbie!

*Cheers Robbie on*

Robbie

4.50pm in the croner office and robbie is still on the run lol. they have now put a trap out for him poor robbie. I think robbie should be set free and not killed.

Get one of the traps they use when thet studieing them. Then you can realese it back into the Mc D's nextdoor. Although that may only pospone the inevitable and they reveal the McRobbie

its 10.30 on the 5/12/06 and robbie is still on the run lol. he has been seen running across the sales department. go robbie woooooo.
