Heh, I'm pretty sure it was the "listen again" option I was using.

Recs from my side of the pond -- well, I only listen to NPR on the radio, and they have a somewhat similar news quiz show on Saturdays called Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me... You must have heard of this, right? It's wonderfully hilarious and wickedly barbed. Here's the site: http://www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/ and if you click on This Week's Show you'll get a playback. The other funny show I like is about car maintenance, Car Talk at http://cartalk.com/ -- might not be your cuppa.

As for Teh First BF, he would be the first to concur with your assessment. Hee!
