Episode 8 Have I Got a Bit More News for You

APPLAUSE

Good evening and welcome to Have I Got News For You.

I'm Miranda Hart.

In the news this week, at a clinic in Richmond,

there was an unwelcome sight for Vince Cable

as a surgeon begins his haemorrhoidectomy.

We won't come in if you don't want us to!

On holiday in the Bahamas,

it looks like John Prescott's weight loss programme is beginning to work.

And after his BBC salary is cut, Jeremy Paxman has no option

but to take a second job on the QVC shopping channel.

Time to get yourself a nice, warm woolly this autumn.

It's available through any of the 300 high street branches

of Edinburgh Woollen Mill.

With Ian is a Labour MP who loves computer games,

he spends hours indulging in virtual fantasy role-playing.

Or as we know it, being in the Shadow Cabinet.

Please welcome Tom Watson.

Thank you.

APPLAUSE

With Paul is an American stand-up,

recently described as a six-foot-tall,

husky-voiced sex icon. I'm sorry.

Recently described BY a six-foot-tall,

husky-voiced sex icon.

Please welcome Reginald D Hunter.

APPLAUSE

And with start with the biggest stories of the week.

Ian and Tom, take a look at this.

Oh, that's a couple who love each other.

Oh, a couple who don't!

Oh, look, there's Meryl Streep, she's taking over again.

Ahh, a British bulldog.

Anyway, this is a very exciting story.

It's the Euro.

By the time this goes out, Europe will have been saved.

Or not.

We don't know.

But apparently it's extraordinary - they're going to rescue the Euro.

The Tory Party's in revolt, there could be a referendum,

they could ask the public what we think about Europe.

It's very dangerous! Thank you.

What's your position?

-Er, on the Euro or on Europe?

-Both?

-Is Labour split on this, too?

If Tories are revolting...

Generally, we're... Yeah. I think we're keeping very quiet on it

and waiting for David Cameron to save the day.

-Right.

-You're waiting for Cameron to save the day?!

Yeah.

So you're just going to do nothing and then just hope they mess it up.

Well, I'm going to do nothing, cos I'm not a very good politician.

But I'm sure... I'm sure Ed Miliband would, er...

APPLAUSE

I'm sure my leader's got a plan.

I love that. Refreshing candour - the deputy chairman says,

-"Oh, I'm not a very good politician."

-I know.

Well, I've only got the job... You know, Ed, he called me in and said,

"You know, I'm going to make you vice-chairman of the Labour Party.

"You're going to join the Shadow Cabinet."

I said, "Is it because of my forensic examination of Rupert Murdoch?"

He said, "No, I just need someone who's more unpopular with The Sun."

They had it in for you for ages. Cos you sued The Sun once.

And they said, "We're going to get Tom Watson."

And then you asked rude questions about Rupert Murdoch.

-Yeah.

-And then you called him "a mafia don."

-Yeah.

-Which isn't nice, is it?

Well, they were very upset about it and they sent me a letter of complaint...

-Really?

-..pinned to a horse's head.

According to the People newspaper last Sunday,

what are the Germans doing these days, just in case?

Saving when we're not?

They are actually printing new Deutschmarks to be on the safe side.

-Really?

-AUDIENCE MURMURS

Better safe than sorry.

I mean, the whole audience murmured like, "Those dirty Germs again!"

There has been recent history between our two countries.

Y'all going to win the World Cup anyway.

Can I just say could I have my fee in cash, please? My fee in cash.

-What cash do you want? Euros, Deutschmarks?

-Pound is the safest.

-South African Rand.

-That's probably better. I'll go with Rand.

Fee in Rand.

I kind of like something about Germany having their own money.

Sounds like Angela Merkel was raised well by her mother. It's like,

you go and talk to them world leaders,

but you take your own money, you hear?

I love the idea they say if Europe goes ahead with a solution,

Britain will be left on the sidelines.

While the middle collapses!

That would be awful.

We would be left watching everyone else collapse!

I hope that doesn't happen(!)

The Guardian summed it up for me when they said:

I knew that. I absolutely knew that.

I was talking to my cousin Ray-Ray last week, I was telling him the same thing.

Sarkozy and Merkel have been meeting again this wee as we saw

and there's another summit on Friday, what has David Cameron

been saying about any proposed changes to European treaties?

He has been saying tell us what you're going to do Angela

and we will do it.

You don't like David Cameron very much, do you?

- He doesn't really like me. - Really?

I keep putting in Freedom of Information requests about

the cost of his luxury Notting Hill kitchen in Number 10 Downing Street.

Which is decent of you after the expenses row you were caught up in!

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

They are fighting amongst themselves. We will beat the hell out of them!

Ever since Hislop made that comment about all the money he stole

their confidence went down.

I didn't say stole, I said claimed!

-And it's all behind you.

-He's begging for approval but it's too late!

-The approval counter is shut.

-Give us point for that.

You can't get a point for pointing out

they are fighting amongst themselves. We wouldn't get a point for that.

We need to get a point for answering a question right.

But if we got in their head and intimidated them and it made them

unravel before the game started, we could have a point for that.

But would there be any fun in winning over what would be

the remains of human detritus?

I'm American, I don't know anything!

A win is a win.

I only say this in case they get a picture up

but Ian you bear a remarkable resemblance to Archie Andrews

who was a ventriloquist's dummy in the 1950s.

He used to wear a blazer just like that.

Peter Brough and Archie Andrews, bung it up halfway through the show

and if we don't know what it is, I was wrong, if we do I was right.

I will take that in the spirit it's meant.

That's exactly what you gonna do.

Sarkozy also had a sneaky dig at Britain this week,

do you know what he said?

HE GRUNTS

Speaking in English, he said France was now more

"business friendly" than the UK,

although what he actually said was:

Easily amused, the Indian/Welsh...

I can't do accents.

I might keep that in the pouch, man. You know, like when you tell someone, that was a joke,

to keep them from being offended at what you just said.

It's kind of cool to go, "I'm sorry, that was simply a pleasantry."

So also in the news this week has been Standard & Poor.

Which makes me think of my school report.

Um...

What have they been up to?

Reg, you know all about this business shizzle.

I'm sorry, Snoop, could you repeat what you just said?

APPLAUSE

Snoop Harty-Hart.

They are downgrading the credit rating of every country in the Eurozone

Why did you ask me about that?

You asked me about that because black people often have bad credit.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Sarkozy and Merkel...

And I can't bring myself to say

Merkozy, as they're calling them. Common!

Um...

They were annoyed with Standard & Poor, why was that?

Cos they don't think it helps, dropping the credit rating

of all European countries on the eve of trying to sort it out.

According to The Star:

That'll be Merkel, I expect.

How was the latest rescue proposal received?

Well the DAX went down 1.3

and the CAC lost 0.7.

-Oh.

-That's so weird!

I mean weird as in clever and freakishly knowledgeable.

-Is it true?

-I read it on the autocue.

Oh you...!

APPLAUSE

Well, that would explain it!

You ruined that joke with your stealing of stuff!

Get him, take the point from him!

Look, it was just a pleasantry.

Do you know, it was very funny.

-Shall we cheer ourselves up?

-Yeah.

-Shall I tell you how?

-How?

Let's look at some expensive cars

that some rich people have just written off on a motorway.

It was a convoy of luxury sports cars including six Ferraris

and a Lamborghini that came a cropper on a road in Japan.

Does anyone know where they were headed?

MAN SHOUTS FROM AUDIENCE

Oh, it's... We've gone to the floor, have we?

Just call me David Dimbleby. Right.

Where did you say?

-MAN: Scrapyard.

-Scrapyard.

-Scrapyard.

Funny!

APPLAUSE

Can I just say, it was lovely to heard from you, but shh now.

And finally, the first results of the PM's much vaunted

happiness survey have been published.

How happy do you think are Britons out of 10?

6.7. Happy percent.

-Out of 10.

-Quite close. 7.4.

So, we are pretty happy.

I mean, British people are fantastic it's just that they're not

the most festive people.

Unless they are drinking or there is a band playing in a muddy

field somewhere.

You're pretty reserved about the emotion thing, period.

In fact, I think self-loathing is the national sport.

And I think people learn to self-loathe so they can join in.

Then they can be happy being with other people who hate their self.

Keep it light, Reg.

-Yeah, 7.4.

-It might have gone down since then!

APPLAUSE

Does anyone know any of the questions

they were asked in the survey?

Are you happy?

Are you filled with self-loathing and therefore unable to enjoy

yourself except in the company of other self-loathers?

You are mocking what I said but it's true.

That's the reason you bought it back up, because it hurt a little bit!

Would you smile at a sea lion playing trumpet?

Is that one of the questions?

Here's one:

-Would that one have hurt, Tom?

-It's a hard one to answer.

When you're a politician.

The self-loathing thing is working with you.

I'm 7.4 on the self-loathing scale.

You're a politician, you got a hard job.

You can't tell the truth, but then you often accused of not being honest

but if you told the actual truth, you'd be out of a job in a week.

I want to be on your team.

Well, of course you do

because you know the man next to you don't like you.

Indecently, 2.7% of the people surveyed

said they were completely happy - 10/10/

See the survey's taking place in Britain and you asking people

about happiness and what the survey does not account for

is the level of sarcasm in everybody's answer.

"Are you happy?"

"Yes, I am completely happy (!)"

APPLAUSE

-You have been in the news this week.

-Have I?

In connection with the phone hacking scandal.

-You were on the committee that investigates it. Are you not?

-I am.

Yes, apparently you were followed for five days

by a News of the World private detective.

Tell me, what were you up to?

I was at the Labour Party Conference.

I was drinking a lot of beer with Trade Unionists, mainly,

and I rang my private investigator -

I obviously know him now, his name's Derek...

..and I rang him up and said, "Hello, Derek, my name's Tom, you followed me at the Labour Party Conference,"

He said, "I remember you, Tom, you were out all night drinking beer."

-Are you friends now?

-Well, he's very upset with Rupert Murdoch.

He said Rupert Murdoch didn't pay him enough money when they closed the News of The World, so...

I've actually spent most of the week finding him an employment lawyer.

So, he's suing News International for breach of contract.

You're helping out the bloke who spied on you for five days?

-Yeah.

-I'm warming to you

You should meet him, he's got a lot o talk about, Ian, you could, er...

Derek...!

Yes, so this is the latest instalment of the Eurozone crisis.

One Tory MP asked David Cameron during Question Time

whether he would seize the chance to claw back power from Europe. Cameron's reply was:

Which I believe is Boris Johnson for yes.

On a more cheerful note, several luxury cars were involved

in a multi-million-pound pile up in Japan.

The story cheered almost everyone up except for Japanese newsreaders

who had to keep saying Ferrari.

So, Paul and Reg, take a look at this.

This is pandas, pandas are arriving in Scotland as is suggested.

These are the pandas and panda dolls

that were being sold as souvenirs as they were arriving.

Where's the pandas? Oh, God, is this Edinburgh?

Um, they are feeding the pandas.

So it's pandas have arrived in Edinburgh, and as someone pointed out this week,

there's now more pandas in Scotland than Tories.

Yes, it's the arrival of the two pandas at Edinburgh zoo.

Notoriously slow-moving and incommunicative, with glum expressions and a poor diet,

the Scots were still pleased to see the pandas arrive.

They don't breed well cos they eat a lot of bamboo. Whenever they feel like having sex, they can't.

It's like seeing a sexy woman but you can't do anything cos you've eaten a sideboard.

They're putting them in two separate cages

cos they only breed for four days a year.

It's a hell of a four days, though!

They're connecting these two things with what they're calling a love tunnel.

I don't think it's called that really amongst biologists

but I know what you're saying. A love tunnel!

According to The Mail:

Well, it's not the be-all and end-all, is it?

I would have thought that it would be difficult

for two very fat things to have sex,

Like, it's all right if one thing is very fat,

and the other thing is not so fat,

then you could get an angle of trajectory...

..that would, um, please everyone.

-Everyone?

-Involved!

-Oh, I see!

If you get the angle of trajectory, then you will find your love tunnel

and then... But it's harder to do that when both creatures are very fat.

It's hard to get purchase, if you will.

Yes, ma'am.

But these pandas cos £700,000 a year - that's a lot of bamboo.

That's costing them a fortune.

Yeah, it was billed as a gift from China, but it isn't.

-Oh, they came from China?

-Yeah.

You know, they say China getting ready to take over the world

and China has rough human rights issues.

Where do they get off giving people panda bears?

Y'all better be careful, they might be some Trojan pandas.

I think that's exactly the point of giving these pandas.

They're importing huge amounts of Scottish fish, suddenly,

not Norwegian fish, cos the Norwegians raised objections to their human rights programme.

-So they don't give no panda bears?

-They're buying Scottish fish and everyone's got to shut up.

-So they sent the panda bears to Scotland as a

-BLEEP

-you to Norway.

It's costing £700,000 a year

which includes all their food. Now, Tom, food...

Oh, no.

-Are you still allowed to claim at all on expenses.

-Yes.

Is it true that you spent so much on food at M&S that they gave you

a free pizza wheel as a gift?

Sort of, you got that story slightly wrong but I did get a pizza wheel,

yeah, and it, obviously because I'm a very fat man,

featured quite heavily in the newspapers

during the expenses scandal

- Actually, Tom,

-you're not very fat.

-Like, of you got with somebody of equal fatness...

It's the angle of trajectory, is... It's the angle of trajectory.

Can you imagine how delighted the pun writers were

-on the national newspapers this week?

-PANDA-monium?

-Nice.

-Oooh.

PANDA-ing to China over its human rights.

My favourite pun was in The Sun.

-"Black eye the noo".

-GROANS

So, yes, this is the shock news that vegetables will be eaten

in Scotland with the arrival of two Chinese pandas at Edinburgh Zoo.

LAUGHTER

It's difficult for pandas to reproduce

because according to the Mail:

New Year's Eve, the office party,

and when she wants a wardrobe shifting.

Time now for the one-armed bandit of news.

Fingers on buzzers, teams, here's the first one.

-BELL

-Ian and Tom.

The Muppet Show in America has been accused by Fox TV,

which is a right-wing news channel, of deliberately spreading communism.

Er, amongst the under-fives.

And they're serious! They think the Muppets

are deliberately spreading a communist message.

Because the businessman in the film

is going to close down the Muppet Theatre.

The Muppets have been accused by Fox News host Eric Bolling...

LAUGHTER

He's a trustworthy sort, isn't he?

Are those his teeth, or is his head hollow

and what we're seeing is the wall behind?

-Is that what it is?

-APPLAUSE

-I think that's what it is.

-They've got a record of this.

I mean, they tried to ban Spongebob Squarepants.

Seriously, they thought he was

spreading homosexuality amongst the youth.

There's been another right-wing nutjob in the news this week.

Herman Cain, AKA The Herminator.

He's stood down from the race to be

the Republican presidential candidate

following claims of infidelity and sexual harassment.

The most recent sexy claims against him were from a Ginger White.

That's the name of the person, not a description.

LAUGHTER In this country, that's not a crime!

Yes, Ginger White said they'd had a lengthy affair,

and presented evidence of 61 recent telephone calls from him

as early as 4:26am. Do you know what he said to that?

"What time is it?"

He actually said:

Quite specific. Er, Cain gave a rousing farewell speech.

He ended by saying:

-Where was that quote from?

-Is it a popular song?

-Yes.

-Oh.

I don't know any popular songs. Er...

He was quoting Donna Summer, from her theme song for

Pokemon: The Movie 2000.

I don't remember that one.

I do.

-I'm probably the only one who actually sat through that.

-Why?

-I had children.

-Oh.

-Wanted to get away from them for two hours?

-Yeah!

Er, one of the criticisms of Cain was that he might get caught out

by "gotcha" questions from journalists.

Do you know how he smoothly dismissed this?

-I didn't see it, no.

-He said:

Let's see Cain in action recently, dealing with a "gotcha" question.

So do you agree with President Obama on Libya or not?

OK. Libya.

President Obama...

supported...

the uprising. Correct? President Obama called for the removal of...

Gaddafi.

I just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing

before I say yes, I agreed.

I do not agree with the way he handled it

for the following reason. Um...

No, that's a different one.

A sad loss to the political world, there.

-Doesn't that make you feel sort of competent, and...?

-Yeah!

Proud to be a British politician?

I'd like to thank you for putting him on, there,

-you've made me look quite clever.

-Yeah!

Can anyone tell me what Occupy Wall Street protester

Tracy Postert has been up to?

-Doing time.

-No.

She recently joined the occupation carrying a sign which read:

Nicely topical, there, Trace.

But she got bored and replaced it with a placard advertising her CV

and a passing banker noticed it,

offered her a job and she's now accepted it.

So this is the rather confusing Fox News about a frog.

Fox News pundit Eric Bolling accused the new Muppet movie of:

A spokesman for The Muppets promptly confronted him saying,

"Hiiii-yah!"

APPLAUSE

The allegation is quite ludicrous, not every Muppet is a communist.

For instance, Beaker is clearly a Liberal Democrat.

Fingers on buzzers, teams. Here's the next one.

BUZZ!

This is Prince Albert Memorial and his wife Queen Victoria.

A painting has come to light recently of her as a young girl

which was considered saucy in its day.

And it's only come to light now,

we're only allowed to see it some hundred-odd years after she's died.

Brace yourselves, boys There it is.

Oh, revealing!

Who decided it was too naughty to be seen?

Um, Prince Albert probably, he was always saying things like that.

-GERMAN ACCENT:

-This is too naughty to be seen!

He was German, you know.

It was a surprise 24th birthday present for Albert,

he considered it so racy that he kept it in his private writing room

at Windsor Castle. I bet he did!

How was the sexy effect achieved?

-According to Desmond Shawe-Taylor, surveyor of...

-Oh, don't trust him!

He says...

Hi, boys.

Yeah?

Yeah!

Yeah?

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Also this week, the winner of the Turnip Prize for bad art was announced. Did anyone see that?

-No.

-I did not.

-Well,

I'll show you the exhibit and you can guess the title.

-Right.

-I don't know what it is.

Is it just a jar of dirty water or something?

-Yep.

-A jam jar, is it?

Yeah, it's called Jamming with Muddy Waters.

GROANS

And the winner said:

I think we can all identify with that.

So this is Prince Albert's private portrait of Queen Victoria

that was deemed too saucy to be shown in public.

So, girls, if you want to pull your first cousin,

that's the look to go for.

According to the Telegraph, Prince Albert considered the portrait

so racy that he...

In much the same way that Prince Phillip

keeps his back copies of Razzle in the shed.

Fingers on buzzers, teams.

RING

Ian and Tom?

They found another Earth -

-another planet that would be perfect for life. Really.

-Blimey.

So we can move there when we've finished with this one.

Which is about 50 years I think!

It is 600 light years away.

-Do you know what it's called?

-Earth 2.

The Sequel.

They're calling it the rather catchy:

-Isn't that where Sherlock Holmes used to live?

-Yeah!

-Do you want to see the real picture of the planet?

-Yes.

-You can't see it

cos it's 600 light-years away, it's a trick question, get out!

This telescope apparently spotted over 2,000 planets outside our

solar system known as exoplanets.

And they've started a league table

and ranked the exoplanets based on habitability.

Or HABITibility.

Sorry about that.

They've called this:

I bet Argos are quaking in their boots.

What are you going to find when you go there?

I don't know, what's there, seas?

Must be water.

We would find:

I'd prefer probably just to go to Tenerife again.

In much more exciting extra-terrestrial news,

who's been discovered on a Danish pastry this week?

-E.T.

-Correct!

Really?

Yes!

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

There he is, that's him.

On the topic of outer space,

did anyone see how Japanese astronaut Satoshi Furukawa...

How he, he, that man, made history this week?

He managed to play baseball on his lonesome

while on the International Space Station.

-Should we have a look?

-Yeah.

-I think so.

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Has he got much to do?

-He's on his own in space.

-You've got to do something, don't you?

But the question is, who's holding the camera?

You know, I felt the same way when I was watching the Blair Witch Project.

-Who's holding the camera?

-Yeah.

You know, you're looking at someone being savaged by something you can't see

but you don't hold the camera and go, "it's very scary, I'm sure it will eat me next,

"but this is fantastic footage."

So this is the exciting news that scientists have discovered a planet like Earth.

According to The Telegraph:

The only downside is those ghastly people at Kepler 22a

Assessing its suitability for human habitation, a NASA spokesperson said:

..Oh, I've said it...!

I can't say habitable.

Habitable.

Do you pronounce the word doo-ing as (LIKE BOING) doing?

Some people do.

They say habby-table.

Habit-ible. Habitable.

"We are certain that it is habit..."

-I can say it and you can say all the other words, if you want...

-OK, you say that word and I'll mouth it.

Sorry, IF it has a surface. Before we make the 600-light-year journey,

do you think you could just check that out first?

Fingers on buzzers, teams.

RING

This is a village. twinned with Blindin'.

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

This is Google refuses to carry it

because whenever they put the word in Google Maps it thinks it's a,

you know, it's bad language, so they don't exist, it won't come up.

-Is it Google it won't come up on?

-It's Facebook.

Same sort of thing, isn't it? Google, Facebook -

press a button, something happens. If it doesn't, it's not plugged in,

I understand the internet.

Yes, Ann Marie Kennedy from the village of Effin

has started an online battle

to get her village's name recognised on Facebook.

Ann Marie set up a Facebook page titled...

Which was then blocked by Facebook

as it was deemed offensive.

Ann Marie said to the Guardian:

Yeah, Facebook ARE going to fix the Effin problem. A spokesperson said:

MAN IN AUDIENCE CONTINUES LAUGHING

Are you all right?

Sounded like somebody trying to kick-start a donkey.

Oh, I do apologise, madam.

And why has a man in Scotland got into trouble for swearing this week?

His real name is Alan Bastard.

It was a technical hitch at the start of BBC Radio Scotland's news for the Borders show

which meant that the word "the Borders" was repeated 37 times.

A man tried to fix the problem live on air,

let's have a listen.

'This from Lynn Renney.'

'The Borders. The Borders.'

'The Borders. The Borders. The Borders. The Borders.

'The Borders. The borders. The Borders. The Borders. The Borders.'

-'Oh,

-BLEEP.'

'Ahhh....'

-'Oh, get me out of... What the

-BLEEP BLEEP?'

-'What the hell's going on here? Check the

-BLEEP

-faults.

'Ahhhh...'

-Quite hypnotic, isn't it?

-Yeah.

Is it a secret message, we'll all go out tonight

and kill the Prime Minister or something?

It's from the Immigration Service, isn't it?

-The borders, the borders...

-The borders.

This is the Effin woman who's got into an Effin row

-with those

-BLEEP

-at Facebook.

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Facebook refused to allow users to identify their hometown as Effin

on the grounds that it is...

This also explains why there seems to be no Facebook users

in Cockermouth.

Time now for the Missing Words Round

which this week features as its guest publication...

Tea & Tea Room Talk -

The Magazine For People Who Love Tea And Tea Rooms.

At this stage the host usually does a terrible pun,

but I'm to think of one.

GROANS

And we start with:

I think this is something like homosexuality.

What speed to they have to attain before this happens?

Did 32mph, wa-hey!

-It's in Saudi.

-You're absolutely right.

As a woman approaches a certain speed she starts going, "I hate cock!"

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Relish that moment cos you'll never see it again.

A Saudi Arabian cleric has warned that allowing women to drive

will turn men and women to homosexuality, prostitution and pornography.

Those ultra-conservative views on women drivers come from the controversial Muslim cleric

Kamal Subhi al-Clarkson.

The best cleric...IN THE WORLD!

Next:

Where's Congham Hall?

Pass. I'm asking you the questions, bitch.

Is it, cut the crusts off in the shape of President Roosevelt?

I don't know what papers I'm reading, cos those are the stories I read!

The answer is:

I almost said that!

The tea-loving journalist writes:

If this repeat is going out in Ethiopia, I can only apologise.

TOM: Never introduce the cleric, Jeremy Clarkson to your sister.

Is it, priests beheaded?

No! The answer is:

This is the exciting World War II story of an agent in Madrid

who used an old-fashioned English tea house as a base

for an escape network for Allied servicemen.

He was the James Bond of tearooms.

-The Man With the Golden

-Bun.

-Doctor

-No-Sugarinmine.

-You Only

-Sieve

-Twice.

Ha!

You Only SIEVE twice?

-Yeah.

-I didn't realise that was the standard we were aiming at.

I'm going lower!

Next:

REGINALD: Never prosper.

It's actually "..never forget a friendly face."

Scientists have revealed that wasps are able to tell each other

apart and remember other wasps that have done them favours.

Oh, I thought we were talking about insects.

Oh.

The times illustrated its article with this picture

and this gave us an idea for an odd-one-out.

So...

-Which of these is the odd-one-out? Anyone?

-Top right.

It's actually Peter, bottom-left.

As he's the only one that doesn't like picnics.

Next...

-Whose side were on you in the war?! That's not it?

-Not it.

-Oh.

-That's a "Sar-cosy", isn't it?
