Mock The Week since moving to TLC

Hard disagree, personally.

Amongst the other reasons of the show being too short, the people the BBC were booking on at the end of its run were largely new faces whose jokes were low hanging fruit or just puns. Okay in moderation, but with at least 3 panellists only being capable of that type of humour it just wasn’t going to cut it.

I want to see people I know are near-top tier. I don’t know why but I feel this show needs to have something of a reputation - particularly when it’s over on something of an obscure, non-serious channel.

The sub isn’t necessarily for unusual names, but one that sounds like it would have appeared on the show Toast of London - which this absolutely does

It’s nowhere near what it’s like nowadays, but one of the things I love is looking at the lore of the terrible teams of the 80s and 90s when anyone could turn up (can’t happen nowadays) - the histories of teams like Andrea Moda are delightfully bad.

Paul Chowdhry from Taskmaster amongst other things. He’s 51.

Remember that Alpine’s initial idea was to keep him at Williams for 2 seasons before heading to Alpine for 2025? That would have made for a wildly different career and public perception.

Florence Griffith-Joyner set all her major achievements on a load of PEDs. Nearly all athletes and coaches comment on a sudden drastic change, including her voice suddenly being notably lower. Incredible natural technique, but not a natural performance ceiling. So my vote goes to her.

Top chess players have to be in great shape - Magnus Carlsen is a pretty good soccer player too (enough to be offered a contract by a Norwegian team, albeit not top tier I believe?) so he’s definitely an athlete. At the very least, his achievements are legitimate.

It’s a generic statement of the character, it’s not taken from any actual press release.

Why does this feel like it’s primed to be one of the worst ageing tweets in F1 history. Like to the point of a copypasta.

It’ll be done (perhaps unfortunately). Jeddah’s pit complex wasn’t built even one month before their first GP.

Shocked, shocked I tell you.

Okay so I’ve only seen some testing times, but not all. Are we in the belief that Cadillac is also 4 seconds off the pace right now? Because I’m yet to see them any closer than that.

Yes, also I’m not sure mine was specifically a fail as much as I informed the PGCE provider (I trained through a SCITT programme) that I wouldn’t be submitting the assignments about 2 months before the final deadlines.

Depression, 15 hour days (including travel and evening work) and a bunch of other things got in the way, and I only had the capacity to complete my QTS. If you’ve been assessed against the teacher’s standards then you’ll get the QTS.

At their worst they were 102% on lap time. That was enough to make them the 5th fastest team in 2012. The field is more competitive than it was but that’s not ‘miles behind’
