The unexpected uses of Radio 4 comedy

Thanks to Warhorses of Letters*, I now know how the French exclamation "Hein?" sounds. I don't know whether hein is actually used by native French speakers, but it is one of those exclamations used in English novels.

*The best line remains, "Is Russia hot? It will be with you in it!" And the fourth pack of letters being in the custody of Brett Lee.

He needs them! What sort of would-be BFF is Thunderclap out of Stormfront by Death to the French for not getting them to him faster?

He is rubbish. Though I do love his name.

I have never had cob nuts. I see them in the market, and yet pass by.

I almost regret deciding I waste too much time online already to get into twitter.

They don't tweet very often but when they do it is wonderful.

I just went and looked it up. The bit where @marengohorse and @stephenfry start flirting with each other in French might actually be a bit meta for me.
