        Gervais sends up advertisers

    Ricky Gervais was the first British celebrity
    approached for those Mac/PC adverts that
    you now see everywhere featuring Mitchell and
    Webb. Gervais turned up to meet the team of
    US executives behind the ad who then pitched
    him their idea of a "cool" guy and a "nerdy"
    guy representing a Mac and a PC.

    Gervais listened intently and then asked,
    poker faced, "So who are you thinking of
    getting to play the nerdy chap?"

    The suits looked at each other nervously,
    several squirmed in their seats, working out
    how to tell Gervais he'd got it wrong.
    And Ricky waited an absolute age before
    cracking a smile, saying "only kidding!"

        Comedian just wants to be a girl

    Users of the women's toilets in London club
    Coco were startled recently when a man
    ran in and threw himself on the floor
    writhing and screaming out,
    "But I want to be a girl, I want to be in here!"

    The man's girlfriend followed, and eventually
    pulled him to his feet and out of the toilets.
    Everyone else in the ladies just looked at
    each other in surprise. As the girl-wannabe
    was Mighty Boosh star Noel Fielding.
