The question was put to Mr Brown no fewer than 12 times (which, as it happens, is the exact number of times Jeremy Paxman put his question to Michael Howard in the notorious 1997 Newsnight interview).Dear god, won't someone take charge and put this nincompoop out of his misery?

Jammy Dodgers, surely!?!
(McVities)Boaster?

"Matches the ones the cyclopian shite holds up to the country on an almost daily basis."
Indeed.
"(McVities)Boaster?"
Ooh, forgot about those!
Ross: excellent. Thank you for that.
Given his descent into psychosis, I would have thought some form of crackers would be the answer.
