How do you tell your mum that she is a STUPID WOMAN who is RUINING CHRISTMAS by buying you the WRONG GIFT? Plus other polite and classy problems compose Answer Me This! Episode 328, in which we contemplate:

NaNoWriMo
sexist succession
breaking into your own house
vinegar vs menstruation
the novels of Katie Price
the novels of Ben Elton
pregnant Virgin Mary paintings
snooping on your Christmas presents
procrastination
the big piece of paper of Jack Kerouac
the little piece of paper in a box of chocolates
and
vinegar mother.

Plus: Olly plans never to get married, but maybe he’ll change his mind purely to have the themed wedding of his Jennifer Connelly-starring dreams; Helen turns her profound laziness into creative tips; and Martin the Sound Man puts the beats into his favourite Christmas carol.

In today’s Bonus Bit of Crap on the App, available for iThings, Android and Windows devices, Olly reveals the surprise hair inspiration of his mid-1980s barnet: Princess Diana.

    I’m surprised with his Oxford English degree, Olly wasn’t familiar with Fahrenheit 451. I guess it’s more famous in the U.S.

  2. James C. Says:

    I think “map” is the perfect word, because a map is a diagram that shows where things are located. But you could go with diagram, chart, labels, decoder, outline, etc. A key or legend doesn’t depict where things are, it lists symbols and styles and says what they mean.

  3. Yvonne Wilson Says:

    The machinations of Christmas became clear to me when I was six. I had painstakingly written out my note for Father Christmas and left it with my offering of food and drink for him plus a carrot for Rudolph (I was indifferent to the nutritional needs of the other reindeer).
    I got a reply! Complete with a sooty fingerprint as proof of authenticity! And it was signed “Dad” (crossed out) “Father Christmas”……
    I thought it was hilarious! It didn’t spoil the magic of Christmas. If anything, it added to it.
