i respect the other elements of the decision making so I'm not making a big deal out of it but i do think it is fundamentally and maybe criminally fraudulent for my partner to describe activia probiotic yoghurt with mango as a 'sweet treat'.

jimeoin is just an emergent phenomenon in any standup scenario that needs to play to regular folk who are too unblemished to have developed a sense of humour. you can't really have strong feelings about him playing riyadh because it would be like having strong feelings about them using microphones.
