I’m going to see Have I Got News For You!
Twice! 
After Joshua and I mounted a military-precision operation last week to secure tickets from the website (it involved lots of refreshing, several PCs, multiple browsers, pinging, the net connection going down, phoning up the ICT department frantically, and eventually Joshua coming down to my Maths lesson to hurriedly get my phone number) the confirmation has come through.
I’ll be in the company of Merton, Hislop and co on 27th April with Joshua, Sanna and Fabio. And then the very next week (4th May) Joshua and I are going again with our darling mothers. Awww. Credit where credit’s due, it’s my mum who found out about the electronic barriers going up at 11am on that day so all thanks to her really. 
So excited! I was terrified it’d get cancelled before this day would come. Now, I wonder if I’ll ever fulfil my secret life ambition to be on the damn show itself… 
Ah well – keep dreaming!
Yay! I liked that show.
Shame I can’t watch it anymore. I’m still in protest along with others and refuse to watch BBC2 cos of the cutting of The Simpsons
Well good thing it’s on BBC1 then
(And they didn’t cut The Simpsons, they were outbid!)
Oh that’s good!
Didn’t know they moved.
And to me, they did cut it, I don’t care why it was, but with no announcment to the average viewer, it was there one week and not the next!
Is it weird that I’ve never heard of this, or is it just very British?
No it is very very British, although I’d say your closest equivalent was The Daily Show. The format is very different though – there’s a short clip on the Hat Trick website (http://www.hattrick.co.uk/shows.php?id=547&catid=79&style1=show&check1=546&shid=18&menu=) discussing badgers.
Should be a good one to go and see and you should enjoy the show
