I’m V. excited to sit home with a can and explain to my English girlfriend why the toy show is the last good and pure thing and cheer on the wee lad from the country who gets to drive the tractor across the studio.

Having a house party tonight and honestly tempted to put the Late Late Toy Show on in the background and watch the Irish flock round while the Brits are perplexed.
