Enjoyed talking to Ed and James about, amongst other things, food. The film I failed to remember was Cutthroat Island (39% RT). Everything else makes complete sense and I am glad it was recorded for posterity and that everything I thought would be edited out has been kept in.

So I just watched #taskmaster from this week again and in a way John was right. Wingdings changes if u use upper case or lower case. So if he had caps lock on at some stage then yes the words would look completely different.
