Perhaps he is good at impressionations, but he's certainly not any good at impressions.


Sorry, couldn't resist.

What about impersonations, would you say he's any good at those...?

I have no idea whether it was or not, as I'm not very aware of Harry Redknapp's work. Either way, it was bloody horrible.

Literally, lovely, beautiful, thank you, god love ya, random, weirdly... they need to fill in the gaps between conversation whilst thinking of what to say next with something, especially the first half hour, unfortunately they have to do this with "auto-fill" words (which can figuratively get on your tits).

Record a conversation you have with someone and you will find recurring words you use too.

The latest one which is really getting on my tits is 'and whatnot'. Chris used it LOADS last week, and I noticed Dave say it today too, so it's spreading amongst the team.

I think it's just a reflection of the increasing amount of time he spends in the States.

I've heard it over here a lot. Though i don't think i've ever used it myself.

Has anyone else noticed that in the last year or so Chris has started to laugh with that weird phlegm-y 'ccchhhhrrrr' sound like Alesha Dixon makes? I'm sure he never used to do that. It's very unpleasant to the ear.

Yes, I have noticed that. He does it as a bit of a cheeky laugh or when it's something he doesnt think he should laugh at though I think. It doesnt bother me though.

Thinking about it, I've noticed that too. I thought it was just him taking the piss out of Alesha at first.

I'm glad people know what I mean! It's a very tricky thing to describe in writing.

It's sort of like a semi-snigger. He did it today actually. Often when Aled says something silly or with a potential double meaning he does it.

On Tuesday he did it at 3:07:27, knew he would do it eventually! I haven't quite learned how to clip things up yet.

Sat and today are up
