I love everything about language and I love the way it completely shapes our lives whether people realize it or not and I love that you can use words and phrases and syllables to express anything from what the moon looks like tonight to what someone means to you and I love that sometimes hearing a poem or even just a line or a couple of words that make it seem like someone has once felt the way you feel right now can make you feel so much less alone in this world

I love how comforting Wheatley is when he has to inform you that you did, in fact, just jump.

“David Mitchell, who you may know for his inappropriate anger on every TV panel show except Never Mind the Buzzcocks, his look of permanent discomfort on C4 sex comedy Peep Show, his online commenter-baiting in The Observer or just for wearing a stick-on moustache in That Mitchell and Webb Look, has written a book about his life.
As well as giving a specific account of every single time he’s scored some smack, this disgusting memoir also details:
• the singular, pitbull-infested charm of the FRP (‘Flat Roofed Pub’)
• the curious French habit of injecting everyone in the arse rather than the arm
• why, by the time he got to Cambridge, he really, really needed a drink
• the pain of being denied a childhood birthday party at McDonalds
• the satisfaction of writing jokes about suicide
• how doing quite a lot of walking around London helps with his sciatica
• trying to pretend he isn’t a total **** at Robert Webb’s wedding
• that he has fallen in love a LOT, but rarely done anything about it
• why it would be worse to bump into Michael Palin than Hitler on holiday• that he’s not David Mitchell the novelist. Despite what David Miliband might think”
