Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Wait, I don't get it. Also, there was a big art heist?

Don't try to fool us. We know that whole world destroying thing was a distraction so you could carry out your nefarious plan!

I like it destroyed. It's all ashy, and no one is irritating me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now to go re-hunt down the Sam Shephard ones. At least I got Adam Brody saved before Dana went all smashy world crashy.

Ah! I love it when Stephen Fry pronounces foreign words and names. He does it with such relish. Alan Davies has a Spanish/Mexican accent that's pretty lamentable, though.

Psst! Look somewhere else while I stash the Carravaggios in my pantry.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A folding bike that's small enough to be carried in a backpack: [link]

Looks cool. But the wheels are pretty small so I wonder how it'd handle bumpy streets....

eta:

The majority of the frame is made from heat treated aluminium and high strength glass fibre, which is what gives it both its strength and its featherweight...er, weight. It has a twin chain gearing system using specifically small drive axles, often one of the heaviest parts of a traditional bicycle, and the pneumatic tyres ensure a smooth and comfortable ride. The A Bike comes with a carry storage bag for tucking it away at home, or in the office. Until now folding bike have just been bikes that, well, folded, so you were left with, erm...half a bike, and a heavy one at that. This mechanical miracle is truly light, collapsible and of course eminently portable, so you can cycle to the station, the harbour, the airport or just down the drive to your car!

I watched one where SF went through an amazing array of Scottish accents.

I get probably about 50% of the jokes they make about either the English class system or various geographical differences in the UK.

I only get it if it's Scotland or Wales. Anything else and I'm lost, though they seem to be enjoying themselves so much it's still funny.
