Things wot I learned today:

clo_againGood News Week? STOLEN FROM THE BRITISH. On about my eighth episode I finally caught the credit at the end for 'Developed by GNWTV from original BBC show 'Have I Got News For You'' or something along those lines.
VINDICATED. :DD I've been sitting here for days going "But they have these games on HIGNFY! Did we steal them from you?!! No!! I refuse to believe we cannot come up with our own comedy quiz games!"
And now I know. We pwn! Except, we'd like to steal Paul McDermott in return. He could come over to do a guest host spot which would be awesome (is HIGNFY even on this year? Seems like ages since I watched a quiz show that wasn't QI. Or you know, Good News Week).
I also quite like to steal the Buzzers of Death please (Buzzers of Death or Buzzers of Doom? Something like that). Especially if Jeremy Clarkson was guest hosting because his reaction would be excessively, outrageously priceless.
In less awesome news, my card did not arrive and even though I got Australia Post's number from the Post Office, my parents have lost the tracking number. If they even had a tracking number, they're not sure (they would've had one because it was International Signed for which gives you a tracking number). Am distinctly pissed at my parents right now because for all the times they've yelled at me for not "having any idea how the world really works!", they apparently can't manage a simple task that I've done a million times. Hopefully my stupid card will arrive tomorrow because using my credit card has already cost me around £12 in cash advance fees that I am seriously considering demanding back from Nationwide/Royal Mail/Australia Post for being wankers.
Actually I'd like something unspeakable to happen to whoever tried to steal my card details in the first place. I HOPE YOU GET EATEN BY BOX JELLYFISH. Bastards.

IN BETTER NEWS, I did send a few postcards today, a (big) box of souvenirs and stuff I want to keep but not carry around New Zealand to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chickybee32 (B it has your name on because I thought you might need to ID yourself to pick it up. Feel free to open it but really it's just everything I've bought so far that I didn't want to carry pointlessly until June, so it's not that exciting. I've discovered my ridiculous love for keeping pointless leaflets and maps and tickets. Sigh for my hoarding nature).
scoobydumblonde, there's a postcard and a box heading for you separately. The box is not as exciting as it should've been because I ran out of time but it's for your birthday because I thought I'd have trouble sending it from NZ when I'm spending most of my time moving to a different town every two days. It's not wrapped inside so you can open it when you get it or save it until your birthday, whatever. :)
...I should actually do something now that isn't watching Good News Week. Actually! Could someone in the UK visit the Good News Week website and tell me if you can watch the videos from the UK? Just out of curiosity.

Back to my main theme of Things Wot I Found Out Today, just now watching Top Gear? I've realised that the TG3 remind me of John Cusack, Jack Black and The Other Guy from High Fidelity. Just a thought. Hm.
(Jeremy would be Jack Black's character. Totally. And considering Rob(John Cusack)'s temper, he'd definitely be Hamster.
I would totally watch High Fidelity with Hamster. Totally.)
