The end of Tommy Sheridan
Well, he is no more, that Tommy Sheridan.
Last night he was evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother House, admitting that he'd only entered it to pay for his ongoing Law Degree.
If you switched over from the Davina McCall interview with Scotland's true socialist leader, you would have witnessed the remaining members of the House lamenting his departure, and discussing in great detail for two and a half hours whether socialism has a place in the show.
I engaged particularly with Vern Troyer's assessment of the economic consequences of introducing a system of direct collective ownership of their weekly food budget via the formation of the Anarchic Housemates Council. At one point, Vern, a staunch libertarian marxist, challenged Coolio (real name Leon "laissez-faire" Ivey) to repeat his accusation that a centrally-planned system of budget organisation mirrored in a free market economy would best serve the interests of the House. In response, Coolio picked up Vern from the floor and threw him in the trash.
The end of a tiresome evening's debate - oor Tommy would be proud.

The Tenth: "Resolutions"
The Tenth: "Resolutions".
In this, our tenth and, for the first time ever, unedited conversation about life and death, we welcome in 2009 after everyone else has already moved on.
Topics covered include how we celebrated the celebrations of Christmas and Hogmanay, Mr Matey bubble baths, the birth of Mrs. Santa Claus Jesus of Nazareth, the true identities of the Celebrity Big Brother contestants, our slightly disturbing resolutions for the New Year, and Scott's dad skating on thin ice. There's also an all-encompassing Quiz of 2008 thrown in together with some wacky new features, so Happy New Year to all of our good-looking listeners and keep on truckin.
