Planet Sad's Tribute To Stick-on Eyebrows

Poor, poor Mike Newell. He may have just got the sack at Grimsby, he may have caused the man with the finest thighs in League Two football to put them into hibernation and go play cricket for a living instead, but at least he can console himself with the knowledge that he was the inspiration for our round-up of men who look like they get their eyebrows out of a packet:

The Groucho Marx: available in joke shops next to the exploding cigars

The Alistair Darling: the 'collar doesn't match the cuffs' look

The Danny Baker: also comes with optional Danny Kelly

The Lenny Beige: don't try this at home

The Mike Newell: wear to upset female referee's assistants...

George, Put It Away, Love

So there we were, feet up in front of Cash In The Attic and just getting stuck into a tub of Miniature Heroes, when the doorbell went. It was George Clooney, of all people. He had his sex ramp under his arm and he asked us whether we fancied 'a go'. 'George,' we said, 'how many times do we have to tell you? Not if you were the last incredibly handsome, self-deprecating, millionaire film star on earth. If you'd brought your inflatable sheep and your tub of Butt Wax, it might have been different. Now be off with you...'

George Clooney, yesterday

After George left Planet Sad Towers, he went over to Wembley Stadium and used the ramp to jump over 14 naked women, breaking the world record of 12 set by Russell Brand in 2006...

Arguably Useful Word That We Made Up

markotoole (noun)

The name of a person, place, object, a fact – or anything, really! – that you're absolutely certain you once knew and it’s on the tip of your tongue, but you can’t for the life of you remember it… Until you finally give up and ask someone, look it up in a book or online, or simply allow your brain to stop trying to recall it. Then, weirdly, it’ll hit you like a bolt of lightning. So called because, in pre-internet days, we spent half an hour desperately trying to think of the name of the bassist in Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Then, as one of us was halfway through dialling a relative to ask, the other blurted out, “Mark O’Toole!”

(PS We accept that The Meaning Of Liff or one of its predecessors may already have a word for this, but this is what we call it. So there!)

On Thin Ice, Part Two

The story so far: having rowed naked across the Atlantic to raise money for charity, James Cracknell and Ben Fogle have embarked on a more perilous quest - racing to the South Pole to raise the blood pressure of middle-aged women across Britain. Will they succeed, or will those pesky Norwegians beat them to it?
