Well he keeps appearing in ´óÏó´«Ã½ new bulletins. Saw him again last night and this morning. Is very funny material.... I am sure he is in lots of bulletins, and he always tries to look like he has accidentally got into shot...
Can't watch any news bulletins without looking out for him like a "where's wally" game.

Next week, Russell SO needs to talk about some of the hilarious party policies, such as the Green Party's, "Decriminlalise Prostitution" and BNP's "Force schools to hold daily Christian assemblies." I'm sure there's more.
Thanks, Russell you're a legend in the stand up business, keep it up! :D

great to see you at the warm-up gig tonight. Apologies for the heckling but Iguanas down the road had 241 cocktails!
Re: Sexting for old people... Not that they got phones for that purpose (least I hope not!) but when my parents 1st got a mobile not only was it all in capital letters but they took 4 months to figure out where the space button was SOYOUDGETMESSAGESLIKETHISANDHAVETOWORKOUTWHATONEARTHTHEYWANTEDTOSAY.. (I'm sure you and your team can figure out some misfortunate combinations in this vein as you're far wittier than I am!)
Another friend of theirs is an English teacher and couldn't understand why everyone was throwing random punctuation into their texts... (AKA smiley faces etc)
anyway thanks for the feel-good fix for the week.
keep up the good work!
:)

However, the students refute that fact and say that they used to go up to the deputy and specifically ask him to taser them. Really odd!

I was so touched when it came on that the first thing I did today was look it up. It is such an inspiring website and the guestbook comments are on overload today saying thanks to the Russell Howard Good News show they were made aware of the site - so you should be very proud!
I have a parcel all wrapped up and sat waiting to be posted out to a pal tomorrow and will make this a regular in my routine!
I have also set up a facebook group to try and spread the word and many others have too thanks to the show!
