'Binlids' the new Gladiator

By Ben Hurst on May 25, 08 11:20 AM

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...

Well here it is:

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!
