'Binlids' the new Gladiator
Did anyone see Charlie Brooker's column in the Grauniad's Guide section yesterday?
It gave me quite a chortle - readers sent in their ideas for names on Gladiators...
Don't know why but personal favourite was the female suggestion of 'binlids'. Although the punch in the stomach starter for ten in the female section of 'Gash' came close.
I haven't laughed so much since he described a pre-slimmed down Alan Sugar as looking like "a water buffalo straining for a shit in the middle of a lake".
And the technology line? Well as any good pc gamer should know, Mr Brooker started out writing on seminal magazine PC Zone!
