I caught the first few #SmearTheBejaysis posts on #speirgorm last night. Went to check on it this morning to find it has taken off *in a big way*. Loving it! Great fun. Little did Ivan Yates know ... If you don't know of what I speak (& you fancy starting your Saturday with a smile), have a look.

Catherine Connolly laughed so hard at an episode of Mrs Brown's Boys that she had to rewind it a few minutes "because she missed the next few jokes from laughing so hard".
AND it was one of the later episodes.
