Hi listeners,
So that unfeasibly rich child from Two and a Half Men says you should not watch Two and a Half Men because it is pisspoor FILTH and THE ENEMY’S PLAN.
As usual there’s some mild FILTH in Answer Me This! Episode 239. Can’t disclose the enemy’s plans; you’ll have to interpret them yourself when you listen:
Today we consider:
The Queen 4 Harry Styles
Australian Xmas
chocolate crispy cakes
immoral i-spying mums
helmets vs. head injuries
AMT1-120 vs. THX 1138
Simon Cowell’s corruption
beleaguered Morrisons mums
sweeties from Firebox
Oxford Street Marmite lights
the Royal Variety Performance
Heston’s Food Panto
wedding politics
pants photosynthesis
and
being microwaved to death.
Plus: Olly blows bubbles out of his bum; Helen calls for tougher gum laws; and Martin the Sound Man is pleased you all seem to like his package.
This week’s Bit of Crap on the App (available for iDevices and Android) is more hot air from Olly, as he recounts how he burped into a stranger’s face. Luckily, because Olly couldn’t hear it at the time, it DID NOT COUNT.
Your QUESTIONS definitely do count, so please email them to answermethispodcast@googlemail.com or leave voicemails on the Question Line by calling 0208 123 5877 or Skype ID answermethis.
See you next Thursday,
Helen & Olly

Ollie, I don’t know if this will make you happy or upset that you were, uh, not 100% correct: http://images.lowes.com/product/converted/075919/075919001806.jpg. There are (giant) desiccant sachets for your closet. They also sell it in gallon-size tubs to reduce the dampness in your basement.

That’s pronounced kuh-neh-tih-kit, not connect-e-cut – unless you’re a 16th century Pequot

Hi guys, just wanna point out that yes, we do have European Christmas traditions in Australia (as you said). We also play cricket and drink tea etc. As far as Christmas lights go, we have the biggest community Christmas lights displays in the southern hemisphere in the town of Loberthal.
Would live to see you guys on this end of the globe someday…

Skyfall spoilers! IIRC the bit where Bond strangles a man underwater is near the end, after he falls through the ice with his assailant. In the opening credits he falls alone from the top of the train.
