May his handful of Revels exclusively contain his least favourite flavour.

May his shopping trolley (shopping cart) always have a wheel which keeps sticking and steering him off to the side when he tries to go forwards.

Yeah, they need to go back to having bald faces and side-parted hair, so we can shun them at long distance.

I never interacted with Pokemon (i think I was a few years too old for it) - but I used to have to write a lot of international names down for work related reasons, and therefore eventually had all the accented letter win-alt-key codes memorised - though I can't really remember them all now (I've used Linux only for about 15 years).

I don't think I'd remember many now - for example, I was convinced é was ALT+0233, but I could easily be mixing it up with one of the others.

According to the best school playground scientists of the time, opening a packet of crisps upside down (i.e. so the branding/writing is upside down, and you open the bottom of the packet, at the top) actually "made you gay".

It wasn't just gay if you did it, but it would literally cause a spontaneous eruption of gayness in whoever did it - who would be permanently gay from that point onwards.

In the 1990s in the UK, it was gay to wear a backpack using both shoulder straps (as opposed to using one strap over one shoulder, which was the heterosexual way to carry things to school).

I genuinely didn't realise that! It looked like they were missing, and just had the little nubs underneath.

Would you perhaps like to imagine they were missing, if only for the sake of my previous comment? :)

How often do you write the word "wads"? I can see a potential problem.

Okay, so I've just realised I've been pronouncing this wrong.

So I've been pronouncing it "chit in", probably as above - perhaps halfway between "chicken" and "shit in".

Apparently it's pronounced "kite in".

Not that it's a word that crops up too much, but I've almost certainly made other people say it wrong too :(

All three of ours play fetch, but only with specific objects. They're all brothers about 2½ years old.

The tabby cat plays fetch with fluffy toy balls with feathers on them, the grey cat plays fetch with spare cat collars and the little black cat plays fetch with menthol sweet wrappers.

I think you're going to need some Blackadder to go along with your Monty Python.

Start with the second series though, as the first series is a little weaker (the characters and style are a bit different), and might put you off.
